To avoid burning the coffee during the brewing process, you can follow these tips:

  1. Use a medium heat setting on your stove. Avoid using high heat as this can cause the coffee to burn.
  2. Keep an eye on the brewing process and remove the Moka pot from the stove as soon as the coffee begins to stream out. Leaving the pot on the stove for too long can cause the coffee to burn.
  3. Ensure that the water is not too hot when added to the bottom chamber. Water that is too hot can cause the coffee to over-extract and result in a burnt taste.
  4. Use freshly roasted coffee beans and grind them to a medium-fine to fine consistency. Old or stale beans can also contribute to a burnt taste in the coffee.
  5. Clean your Moka pot regularly to prevent coffee oils from building up and affecting the taste of your coffee.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your Moka pot coffee is flavorful and enjoyable, without the burnt taste that can occur if the brewing process is not monitored carefully.
