Tips using Moka/Brikka pot
Tips using Moka/Brikka pot
I'm trying to use a 2-cup Brikka pot on my gas stove but because
the pot is so small, it can't stand stable on stove.
Is there any trick to do this? I suppose a lot of people would have
similar problems
when they realise that the pot is too small for their stove.

You have to get some kind of wire trivet or rack. Or buy a camping gaz stove
just for the Brikka - this is what people do in Greece for their briki
(turkish coffee pots).

Many people in Greece (and the Middle East) are lucky enough to have stoves
which accomodate their "briki" with a special burner. See:

(For informational purposes only, not a suggestion --- I don't believe this
type of stove is available at all in the US)

Jack,
Creeping coffee modernization! I watched the preparation of turkish
coffee in Istanbul hotels. Instead of an ibrik, some used an electric
pot. Just a small aluminum one; the kind used for heating water.
They heated the mixture of grinds and water just the right way.
Served with a glass of water -- as is the custom in polite places.
Prepared by any method, I did not miss my usual espresso. Not one bad
coffee had in all of Turkey. My wife and I enjoyed a most memorable
coffee at a little table, outside a dusty bus station. We ordered just
two coffees. The waiter put a fresh tablecloth on the little table,
and brought two coffees on a traditional swinging tray, with two cold
bottles of water. Elegant and refreshing.
Best,
Larry

What about getting one of those ceremic centered wire mesh things used
in chemistry labs.
