Just below valve. Tried several grinds, hot and cold starts. No significant effect.
BUT, as mentioned under other comment, watching Hoffman and Wired Gourmet’s vids helped a lot.
Apparently the default Mokka pot guidance just results in sub-par coffee. But probably good enough for casual drinkers.
I’m past the rubicon on coffee expectations though. It wasn’t cutting it for me.
Main thing seems to be stop brewing before you hit the famous sputtering gurgle. Either less water in or just stop the heat once you hit goal volume.
With optional fussiness around moving pot on/off heat to manage temperature and flow.
Fussy town. But that’s where I live.
I have used a Tupperware full of tap water to stop the brew process. That's slightly less fussy than hovering it over heat. Worked pretty well.
