How to Use a Stovetop Espresso Maker

Stovetop coffee makers, which are sometimes called percolators or moka pots, include a very simple setup made from metal parts. Water is poured into the bottom pot, and a basket in the middle holds the coffee grounds. The unit is placed on the stove and as the water warms up, it’s pushed through the grounds and filter into the upper pot, where the espresso collects. Because the coffee maker is fairly small, the water boils quickly and the process takes just a few minutes to complete. Once you hear a gurgling noise, you can pour the espresso out and into your cup.
