Fill: Fill the bottom compartment of moka brewer with water to the fill line or just below the steam valve. Fill the filter basket of your moka with drip-grind coffee. Level off with your finger or the underside of a butter knife (do not press or pack coffee). Insert the filter basket into the brewer bottom and screw on top of the brewer.
Brew: Place the moka pot onto the burner on high heat. Keep the lid open to observe when coffee begins to fill the top chamber. Once coffee begins brewing, close the lid, turn off the burner, and allow residual heat to finish brewing the coffee.
Froth: While coffee is brewing, heat the milk to a simmer (on the stovetop or in the microwave). Froth the milk using a milk frother until milk has approximately doubled in volume from foam.
Serve: In each mug, pour 2 teaspoon maple syrup and tiny pinch of smoked salt, then add 4 oz espresso to each mug. Add milk, being careful to distribute foam amongst both mugs. Top with an additional drizzle of maple syrup and pinch of smoked salt.
