To accompany the simple moka pot, buy a simple mechanical bell timer.

Brew time is pretty much precisely 6 minutes.

Set pot on stove, set timer. When bell rings, coffee is ready.

(A timer built into your cooker / microwave can also work, I find their alarms are not loud enough.)



It really depends on high you turn on gas/electric


In my experience it had more to do with how high the person making the coffee was.


Good point.


Presuming high heat, it's pretty consistent. I've noted this across a dozen or more cooktops.

The surface area of the pot bottom is the limiting factor more than anything else.

Sure, low heat and widely-divergent hobs exist. Standards and conventions help ensure reasonable convergence.
