I bought a cheap moka pot on eBay to have at my in-laws when I visit (context to let you know that I don't want to spend any money sorting the issue out!) and the first thing that happened was that it arrived with a broken. I emailed the people I bought it from and they gave me a full refund. So I thought "great, a free moka pot to have a play with. Maybe I can make myself a nice wooden handle to put on it sometime but for now I'll just pick it up with oven gloves." The only problem is that the coffee isn't coming through properly. The pot was on the stove for 15 mins and I still only got about a 3rd of the coffee through. I'm using the same quantities of water and coffee and the same type of coffee that works perfectly fine to make a perfect 3 minute coffee but it's just not working. What could be wrong with it and is there anything I can do to make it work?
