That sounds like the hoffmann technique for the mokka pot, I've had great results using it tbf.
Maybe the grind was wrong? Needs to be fairly fine, not espresso fine but finer than a v60.

Similar, but with the filter paper, you get enough resistance that you’re basically boiling the coffee grounds.
I thought the method was get to put boiling water in the bottom, to aid the water quickly getting to boiling when on the hob, then massively reducing heat once the coffee comes through, to minimise the amount of time that the grounds have boiling water going through them/regulating it so that the brew temp isn’t so high that you’re dissolving loads of coffee, and making it bitter as fuck.

Just had my brother coach me through using a mokka pot, to create the worst cup of coffee in memory. Got to love it.
He got my hopes up when he told me to put an aeropress filter in, but then ran it at really low heat (well, he took it off the hob and took over) and had it come through painfully slow - resulting in the most putrid undrinkable tar. Thanks mate, ever thought about being a barista?
I’m mostly just joshing, but him taking control of the coffee I was making myself is always going to be a bit of an irritation!
