Italian coffee maker (Moka pot)

A Moka pot is a stovetop coffee maker that brews espresso-style coffee by passing boiling water pressurized by steam through ground coffee. Composed of three parts—the lower chamber for water, the middle filter basket for coffee grounds, and the upper chamber for the brewed coffee—it heats on the stove. As water heats, pressure forces the water upward through the coffee grounds, producing a strong, rich brew similar to espresso. The process is simple, quick, and produces a robust coffee flavor, making it a popular choice for home brewing in Italy and beyond.
