Product Description
This is a very practical yet pretty coffee/espresso maker. Made of Aluminum, this moka pot has a strong plastic handle & lid. Water is poured in the boiler (bottom) and the funnel-shaped metal filter is inserted. Finely-ground coffee is added to the filter. The upper part is tightly screwed on the base. By placing the pot on a heat source, the water is brought 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. Approximate Dimesions: 8" High, 7" L, 4" W.
