Today, when Italian coffee is popular all over the world, we are no longer unfamiliar with Italian coffee machines. Even passers-by can name several Italian fancy coffees. But to this day, there is a lot of controversy around another instrument for making espresso, the Moka pot. Some people think that it is a replacement for the espresso machine, and some people think that what it makes is not espresso.


Europeans do not call this pot a Moka pot, but call it an Espresso Pot. From this name alone, it can be seen that the coffee made by the Moka pot is a genuine Espresso, but the cup form seems too classical and simple.

Like the espresso machine, the Moka pot also belongs to pressurized extraction. The coffee produced in this mode is more suitable for the mellow, rich, and oil-rich dark roast style. Therefore, when purchasing Moka pot coffee beans, you can directly refer to the Italian coffee mode. How to make it delicious and affordable? It is recommended to choose Italian blends with extremely high price-performance ratio:
