Servings from Moka Pot

The only moka pot I own yields 6 shot of espresso. When I'm staying at home, alone, it definitely too much for one drink. So, I come up with 4 drinks as the day progress

8:30 AM, right after brewing, the first drink is Americano, savoring the best of coffee of the stove. Besides, at this hour, we definitely need some boost to start the day.

10 AM, the brewed coffee is getting colder. It is best to be served with Ice. I was thinking to put in some sugar, but just plain coffee would be as good. And the quality only degraded slightly.

1 PM, after lunch, wondering for some dessert. Throw 2 scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream, and pour in some coffee... I enjoy the Affogato as my dessert. The colder coffee works better with the Ice Cream, without melting it.

3:30 PM, the heaviest hour in a day for work. I took a short break to make Ice Milk Coffee from whatever left from my Moka Pot. The Milk help to cover the degraded coffee

So, what else can you have from 6 servings of Moka Pot?

Tricolor Breakfast


One of the easy quick breakfast to have. The mashed potato and chili sauce can be prepared days in advance. . Grilling the sausage and caramelizing the onion should take less than 15 minutes.

Best served with Tabasco for the sausage, and melted gorgonzola cheese for the mashed potato
