How to preheat the water in a Moka pot?

To preheat the water in a Moka pot, you can follow these steps:

1. Fill a kettle or pot with enough water to fill your Moka pot.
2. Bring the water to a boil on the stove.
3. Remove the pot from the heat source and let it cool for a minute or two until the water temperature reaches around 70°C (158°F).
4. Pour the hot water into the bottom chamber of your Moka pot.
5. Assemble the Moka pot and place it on the stove to brew.

Preheating the water helps to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the brewing process, which can result in a better-tasting cup of coffee. However, it’s important to note that some Moka pot instructions may recommend using cold or room temperature water, so be sure to follow the instructions for your specific Moka pot.
