This morning I tried out the induction adapter plate I discovered at Ballantynes (30% off) this week.
I have given away all my stove-top coffee makers – except one – after replacing my gas hob with an induction hob 10 years ago. I’ve been happily using a plunger (French Press) since. But there’s something ceremonial about a Bialetti stove-top Moka Express – especially my cute little red one with the glass pot.
It was quite exciting to watch it working and the pot filling with freshly brewed coffee. That’s the advantage of the glass pot. When it had finished filling from the funnel in the centre (up to the little man’s moustache) I removed it from the heat and poured my first cup – adding frothy milk to the top.
It was delicious – quite strong – and, as you can see, there was enough for a second cup! I’m firing on all cylinders now.
