moka pot
A moka pot is a stovetop coffee maker that brews espresso-like coffee. It consists of three main parts: a bottom chamber for water, a filter funnel for ground coffee, and a top chamber where the brewed coffee collects. When heated, water in the bottom chamber turns to steam and creates pressure, forcing hot water through the coffee grounds and up into the top chamber. The result is a strong, flavorful coffee similar to espresso but without the need for an espresso machine. It's a popular, affordable device often used in households for convenient, rich coffee brewing.
