Moka

What is "moka"?

Moka, also known as a stovetop espresso maker, is a traditional Italian coffee brewing method that produces a strong and flavorful cup of coffee. It is a small, simple, and affordable device that consists of three parts: a bottom chamber for water, a middle chamber for ground coffee, and a top chamber for brewed coffee. The brewing process involves placing the device on a stovetop or heat source, which heats the water in the bottom chamber, creating pressure that forces the hot water through the ground coffee and into the top chamber. The resulting coffee has a strong and bold flavor profile, similar to espresso, but with a slightly softer and smoother taste. Moka is a popular and convenient coffee brewing method that can be used at home or on the go, and it is a staple in many Italian households. It is often served black or with a splash of milk or cream and can be enjoyed as a morning pick-me-up or after-dinner drink.
