stove top espresso coffee maker, based on the principle of
preparing coffee with steam pressurized water.
The moka pot is most commonly used in Europe,
and has become known as an iconic design, displayed in modern
industrial art museums, such as the Science Museum in London.

50 ml cups. The original design was made from aluminium with
bakelite handles.
