Why is my moka pot sputtering immediately and producing very little coffee?
New to moka pots and having an issue with sputtering right from the beginning of the brew.
I’m using araku preground coffee in a Pedrini 2 cups moka pot. Even after lowering the flame, it starts sputtering early and only a small amount of coffee reaches the top chamber. I also noticed that a lot of water seems to get absorbed by the coffee puck, and I only get around 40–50% yield in the top chamber compared to the amount of water added to the bottom chamber.
