The mocha maker consists of three elements – the bottom chamber, also called water heating vessel, the funnel with the filter plate and the coffee collector with the coffee pipe. It follows a simple principle: the water is heated; this generates steam, which presses the hot water through the funnel. That’s where the water contacts the coffee powder and flows into the coffee collector via the coffee pipe as fragrant espresso coffee. The pressure building up in the bottom chamber goes up to about 1.5 bar. By comparison: in a professional espresso machine the coffee is extracted at a pressure of 9 bar. But even if the coffee from the mocha pot does not reach the fullness of an espresso, it is very tasty and easy to brew. The low acquisition costs are certainly one of the reasons why the mocha pot is found in practically every Italian household.
