why are the coffee grinds going into my brewed espresso?

i bought a moka express pot. The grinds go into my espresso. A lot of the fine powder and a bit of smaller grinds, versus when I use my steam espresso machine there is only a tiny bit. I used espresso grind, and also regular grind, and there are still grinds ending up in my espresso. I've tried grinding my own and also buying store bought one. Why is this happening. I am using a medium high heat on an electric stove. It takes 7-8 minutes to brew from starting from a cold stove.

The problem is with the grind. It is not caused by the brewing time. The metallic filter in Moka pots lets a lot of fine grounds to go through. How much grounds ends up in your coffee depends on the way you grind the coffee. If you have a good burr grinder and grind the coffee only slightly more fine than for the Drip Coffee maker then there should be hardly any grounds going through the filter. However, if you have a blade grinder then there will be some fine grinds going through. The problem with the blade grinder is that it does not Grind Coffee evenly so you have a lot of fine powder. You can reduce the problem with the blade grinder by grinding the coffee in a short bursts (let the grinder run only for 5 - 10 seconds at a time) and shake the grinder after each burst. That way the grind will be less uneven and so there will not be as much of the fine powder that goes easily through the filter.

Bialetti 6-c. Moka Express Stovetop Espresso Maker, Silver $29.99 This stovetop moka express is used for making rich, authentic espresso. Made of aluminum, its distinctive 8-sided shape diffuses heat perfectly, releasing a wonderful aroma. Bialetti is the world's most recognized coffee company - in fact, 90 percent of families in Italy own a Bialetti product. Its quality and authenticity have expanded from the original Moka Express to dozens of coffee makers used for producing flavorful Italian coffees. To Use: Pour water in the boiler. Insert the funnel-shaped metal filter into the base. Add finely ground coffee to the filter. Screw the upper section tightly on the base. Place the pot on a heat source until the water is brought close to boiling point creating steam in the boiler. A gasket ensures a tightly closed unit and allows for pressure to safely build up in the lower section, where a safety valve provides a necessary release in case this pressure should get too high (with clean filters, that should not happen). The steam eventually reaches a high enough pressure to gradually force the surrounding boiling water up the funnel through the coffee powder and into the upper chamber where the coffee is collected. When the lower chamber is almost empty, steam bubbles mix with the upstreaming water, producing a characteristic gurgling noise. As with percolators, the pot should not be left on the stove so long that the coffee boils. Ideally, with a little practice, it should be removed from the heat before it actually starts gurgling--usually, when only about half of the top chamber has been filled.
