Here are my steps: Roast green beans, cool immediately after roasting (Just deposit them outside in NNE) Aerate for 6 hours airtight container overnight Grind as recommended here - on a Baratza Virtuosa I use setting 20 (espresso is 14, french press is 32 for me) Use cold water, we have a spring in the yard - so I use water from there Fill funnel, do not compress coffee Put stove on L/M so steam will saturate, water or coffee should not boil
I only rinse it with water for cleaning Works for me, ymmv Just like it takes over 250,000 miles to become a reasonable cyclist, it takes 1,000 tries with a Bialetti to make a good coffee. :-) Andreas On Monday, December 26, 2016 at 9:30:59 PM UTC-5, Deacon Patrick wrote: > > I have a Bialetti Kitty 4 cup I am not smart enough to make good coffee > with.
