☕️ Since I’ve been seeing a lot of debate in the field lately, I’ve decided to provide a set of Guidelines for the management of a good 🇮🇹 coffee

1️⃣st - get a Moka. Better if an old one: just as wine, it gets better with the passing of time. Wash the Moka. Open the Moka.

[1/5]

2️⃣nd - Pour some water in the Moka. The right amount.

If you put too much, you get colored water 💧 . If you put to little, you’ve got no coffee to offer to other people. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Best is to reach just under the tiny valve. No rocket science.

[2/5]

3️⃣rd - I call this step “The Everest”.

In short, put on the filter as much coffee as it fits. Then you add some more. And then some more.

❌DO NOT PRESS.
Coffee doesn’t like to get pressed. Nobody does.

Just make it gently fall from above, & make the mountain appear ⛰

[3/5]

4️⃣th - We’re almost done - but let’s keep attention high, we’re playing with fire now 🔥

Coffee needs time. If you rush it, you burn it.

Coffee needs a small, gentle, respectful fire - and some patience. So - keep the flame low, and relax for a few minutes.

[4/5]

5️⃣th - And the magic is done!

A hot, dark, fragrant, tasty coffee is ready to give you the energy to write your next @NEJM - or to follow an intense afternoon of #ASCO21 presentations!

References for this Guideline will be available in the full publication.

No COI.

[5/5]
