The Black Crow White Pigeon varieties grown in these countries are a unique delight. Their flavour profile is a mix of fruity, floral, tea- or wine-like notes, topped off with a juicy finish.
Asian coffee has been gaining popularity lately, and the coffee market in countries like Myanmar and Vietnam has been growing steadily for the past few years, with growers in this region shifting their focus towards premium-quality coffee. Asian coffee beans are known for their distinct flavours, which are often described as bitter and include notes of spices, chocolate, tobacco, red wine, and wood.
South American coffee. These coffees are a great place to start your specialty coffee journey! If you’re new to this world, we recommend exploring Brazilian or Colombian varieties first.

Italian coffee… For some, it’s what a great start to their day is all about, others view it as a unique treat, and then there are, of course, those who see it as both. Whichever group you belong to, you’d still get the same answer if you were to ask sworn fans of Italian coffee how to brew the ideal cuppa: without a doubt, they’d all point you towards a moka pot. Coffee for moka pot is an essential part of Italian coffee culture, now valued and appreciated all over the world. Intense flavours, a full body and the sort of richness that may remind you of a quality espresso—these are all features of moka pot coffee. The secret to a truly great brew of this type is learning how to pick the best coffee for moka pot to fit your adventures.
Fans of Italian-style coffee know that you don’t really need to travel all the way to Italy to enjoy an amazingly fragrant cuppa. In fact, you can prepare a delicious brew at home: all you need is a moka pot! Functional, compact and stylish, moka pots require the right sort of coffee though. To obtain the best tastes and aromas, you’ll have to discover a coffee variety suited for this brewing method, such as coffee for Italian coffee makers. How to find the right coffee for moka pots, you ask? You can choose from numerous options, depending on what kind of flavours you’re looking for.
Traditionally, moka pots are combined with Italian-style coffee blends. These tend to be dark-roasted, ground pretty finely, and made up of 100% arabica or a combination of arabica and robusta. They result in the kind of notes that Italian coffee is famous for: you get a piquant, intense brew with a hint of bitterness. Lately, however, more and more coffee fans have been experimenting with coffees of a medium to lighter roast, and a medium to coarser grind. This sort of moka pot coffee is subtler, not as bitter and strong as it usually is.
When it comes to the flavour of your moka pot coffee, it’s all in your hands! You can go for fresh coffee beans, intense espresso-style coffee, pre-ground coffee, specialty coffee, decaf coffee, or a locally roasted variety. In addition to helping you obtain traditional Italian flavours, moka pots can be used for bold brewing experiments as well.
The most delicious brews always come about as a result of using freshly ground beans. The best bet of any owner of a moka pot is choosing quality coffee beans for moka pot and grinding them right before preparation. How to select the right beans though? Well, there are numerous options available, depending on what sort of flavours you like:
Dark-roasted coffee beans. Moka coffee beans of a darker roast will endow your drink with some extra bitterness, piquancy and intensity. If you decide to give dark-roasted beans a try, grind them more coarsely and use less water than you usually would. This will help the beans release their finest flavours and aromas faster.
Medium- to light-roasted coffee beans. Using beans for moka pot of a medium to lighter roast, you’ll get a subtler, more varied brew. Keep in mind though that light-roasted beans are slower to release their flavours, so we recommend grinding them more finely, and filling the bottom chamber of your moka pot with water right up to its safety valve.
Those searching for rich, decadently sweet notes should give Coffee Friend’s own Caprisette range of coffees a try. These varieties are marked by natural sweetness, which is what a lot of people look for in a moka brew. Fans of unique, vivid flavours should look through our selection of the Black Crow White Pigeon specialty coffees (choose the ones suited for the espresso brewing method). They boast a particularly intense taste, which makes them suited well for traditional Italian-style drinks and are some of the best coffee beans for moka pot.
You may hear people calling their moka pots ‘espresso makers’. Why is that, you wonder? The answer’s related to both the brewing process and the drink itself. The coffee-to-water ratio that moka pots require is similar to the one used when making espresso, and the result is a rich, intense, espresso-like beverage. It must be said though that moka pot coffee differs from espresso: this is mainly because the brewing pressure in a moka pot is lower than that produced by espresso machines. However, when it comes to choosing the right coffee for your moka pot, you won’t go wrong with espresso for moka pot, a coffee suited for the espresso brewing method.
Espresso coffee tends to be marked by a darker roast, which is why it’s quick to release its flavours. When prepared in a moka pot, this sort of coffee, often referred to as moka cup coffee, will enable you to savor the traditional notes of Italian-style coffee: your brew will be rich, piquant, pleasantly bitter, and as striking as Italy itself! Such coffee for stovetop espresso maker is specifically designed to bring out the best in your moka pot, blending tradition with exceptional quality.
We’ve already established that the best choice for traditional Italian-style moka pot coffee is a dark-roasted espresso blend. Lately, however, fans of moka pots have been experimenting with specialty coffees and light-roasted varieties as well. These definitely do not disappoint. Specialty moka pot coffee tends to be subtler, more delicate, extremely fragrant, filled with numerous different flavours, and not quite as bitter. Depending on the flavours of your coffee beans, your brew may be fruity and gorgeously acidic too. When it comes to using light-roasted beans, keep in mind that these don’t release their tasting notes as quickly as dark-roasted coffees do. If you’re going to use beans of a lighter roast for your moka pot coffee, make sure to grind them more finely, and fill the bottom chamber of the pot with a larger amount of water to help your coffee reveal the flavours hidden it.
Our Black Crow White Pigeon range of specialty coffees is suited perfectly for true coffee connoisseurs looking for extraordinary, exotic notes. Choose from varieties suited for the espresso brewing method, and get ready to delve into unique flavours and unforgettable aromas!
Moka pots require ground coffee. Let us stress once again that the best results are always obtained using coffee beans that have been ground right before preparation. If you’re constantly in a rush though, or if you don’t have a coffee grinder at home, you can use pre-ground coffee too. As long as it’s of the right variety, pre-ground coffee for moka pot will enable you to enjoy gorgeous flavours regardless.
What sort of ground coffee is right for a moka pot, you wonder? Well, grind size is key here. Proper moka pot coffee should be marked by a medium to coarser grind. If your coffee is ground too finely, it’ll slow down the flow of water, resulting in excessive bitterness. In contrast, using medium-ground coffee helps craft a rich, creamy, delightfully intense cup. For optimal results, choosing the best ground coffee for moka pot, specifically coffee ground for moka pot, is essential. This ensures that the grind size and flavor profile are perfectly tailored for the unique brewing method of a moka pot.
If you’re interested in pre-ground coffee, take a look at the Caprisette range and the Black Crow White Pigeon line of specialty varieties. The Bialetti range of pre-ground coffees deserves a separate mention too: these blends have been created with moka pots in mind, so the grind size of these coffees is guaranteed to be just right.They offer some of the best ground coffee for moka pot, ensuring that every brew is smooth, rich, and full of flavor.
If you’re a decaf coffee drinker, you too can enjoy a delicious cup of Italian-style moka pot coffee at home! Our range includes a variety of premium-quality decaf coffees, with both beans and pre-ground coffees available. Depending on your needs and wants, you can grind your decaf beans freshly, or go for a variety that’s already been ground for you. Don’t forget to consider the roast level too: dark-roasted decaf coffee will result in an intense flavour typical of traditional Italian-style brews, while coffee of a lighter roast will make your decaf cuppa subtler and more fragrant.
Decaf coffee-loving owners of a moka pot should give our clients’ favourites a try: these are Caprisette Lullaby Decaf and the specialty Black Crow White Pigeon Colombia Decaf. Whichever variety you end up going for, we’re sure you won’t be disappointed!
We’ve said it multiple times already: the fresher the coffee, the more delicious the brew. As we continue our journey towards the perfect cup of moka pot coffee, we must introduce you to the freshest coffees in our range of products, namely the ones that have been roasted locally. When browsing through coffees that have been roasted right here in Lithuania, keep the same tips in mind: go for a darker roast if you enjoy Italian-style drinks, or choose a lighter roast if you’re looking for something subtle. Consider using coffee for espresso maker in your moka pot for an enriched experience, as these beans are typically roasted to highlight their depth and complexity.
Are you one of those people who are always keen on experimenting and discovering something new? If so, you’ll definitely want to take a look at our coffee sets made up of several different varieties. You already know how universal a moka pot is, which means that a coffee set with 3 or 4 blends in it will let you explore the whole gamut of flavours that this brewing tool can offer. There are sets created for those loyal to a single blend too: you can get yourself a set with as many as eight bags of your favourite coffee in it. Just don’t forget that the same criteria regarding roast level and grind size still apply! Incorporate coffee for espresso makers into these sets to discover how versatile your moka pot can be with espresso-grade coffee.
100% arabica, 100% robusta, or perhaps a blend of both: which option should owners of a moka pot go for? If you enjoy traditional Italian-style flavours, your best bet is a 100% arabica, or an arabica and robusta blend, marked by a darker roast and a finer grind. Keep in mind though that 100% arabica tends to be marked by pronounced fruitiness, so consider the kind of flavours that you’re after. If you prefer your coffee more acidic, look for arabica beans with notes of fruit or berries. If you aren’t keen on too much acidity, however, choose coffee with a higher number of sweet notes in it.
100% robusta is rarely encountered on the market. Because of its unusual taste and high caffeine content, robusta is usually mixed with arabica. This results in a particularly well-balanced taste, which is perfect for Italian-style coffee. An arabica and robusta blend will endow your drink with a fuller body, extra richness, and gorgeous intensity of flavour. Italy isn’t far away at all: in fact, it’s right there in your cup of coffee!
