watchget Moka Pot Dosing Funnel, Stovetop Espresso Coffee Maker Distribution Tool Italian Coffee Maker Dosing Ring For Moka Express 6 Cups, Transparent

A generous three stars. All these five star reviews from overseas! Perhaps I'm expecting too much. I thought that this would slot securely onto the basket of my 6-cup Bialetti and the 30g of coffee I use would be gently but firmly levelled with a few twists of the funnel. Not so. The funnel merely balances atop the basket and has to be held in place, with the basket sitting in something to keep it level. There is enough side-to-side wiggle room to allow grounds to escape and the whole lot still has to be picked up and tapped on a hard surface to settle the coffee. To be fair, the protruding fin can produce a satisfyingly level surface given time, though Italians often recommend a gentle mound of coffee when eyeballing the filling so I'm not sure how crucial this is, though it is my preference. Out of the packet, I'm not sure I'm gaining much over my previous 'spoon, spoon - tap, tap method and for £8.99 I'm not impressed; I should have returned it.Frustrated, I've come up with a 'hack'. A few years ago, I 'acquired' some Costa Coffee takeaway espresso cups. The funnel fits over the rim of these cups precisely so I have cut the bottom off to make a collar for the basket. The baskets sits inside the collar and the funnel fits firmly over the collar. This can all be held in one hand and the other used to spoon coffee in. Tapping is still required to settle the coffee but the funnel turns smoothly (no wiggle) to distribute the grounds. For me, it makes the funnel worth using. I have plastic cups (water cooler/vending machine type) which would work too, though the material means the turning is not quite so smooth. The fact that the funnel fits both these cups so well makes me wonder if there was some kind of error in the specs when this funnel was being designed!Purchase with caution - if at all - and be prepared to return it. Other makes are available - I wonder if they are more successful.

The dosing ring has revolutionized my espresso-making process! Previously, I relied on a spoon to transfer grounds, but now I can effortlessly pour approximately 18 grams of espresso directly into the funnel filter. My routine involves weighing the espresso in a cup, then using the dosing funnel to guide the grounds smoothly into the filter. This ingenious gadget has eliminated mess and frustration, streamlining my coffee preparation with precision and ease.

No more coffee all over the counter.
