One of our friends had a moka pot explosion so violent, that pieces penetrated her fridge and she was badly injured. I have no idea how she did it. I am more careful than I was not to overload the basket though.
I have recently retired and have moved from London to Newark, Nottinghamshire. Hobbies include playing guitar, cycling, extreme coffee geeking, photography and filmmaking.
Oh and...
Maybe water covering the nozzle on the bottom part, and some obstruction of the funnel through which the coffee is pushed... Yes they can become a bombshell, thorough cleaning is recommended!
Uh oh... that sounds scary! I have one of these - a new acquisition as I need my daily latte and Starbucks is closed... I’ll have to remember to be extra special careful! I also think I need one of those plates to set the pot on over the burner!
