There are a few names for Italian makers. Some call it Moka pot, Machinetta, or sometimes Bialetti but basically, it is a small coffee pot that is placed on top of a stove to create espresso. It was invented by Luigi De Ponti but was patented by Alfonos Bialetti in 1933. Originally, the design was created for brewing one cup of coffee only but when the design became popular and it was widely used all over Europe, different sizes have been made to conveniently brew more cups of coffee.
Even up to this day. Many still use Italian makers as they believe that it helps preserve the taste of coffee and actually make it more flavorful. As compared to other coffee makers like the drip coffee and the automatic espresso machines, the use of Moka pots still produce the best results as the stove top method allows efficient control of the pressure of the steam which helps extract more flavors from the coffee beans.
The process of making Italian coffee using Italian makers is simple enough that if you have a Moka pot at home, then you can create your own delicious brew. To help you, here are some simple instructions:

• The first step is to fill the base of the coffee maker with water. Most models have a line indicating the amount you should pour in but if the model you have does not have that indication, then just make sure to pour water before it reaches the pressure valve.
• Attach the filter funnel just on top of the water and be careful not to get it soaked. Then place the coffee beans on the filter.
• Replace the moka pot cover and put the machine on top of the stove with a low heat setting. When the coffee fills up the upper tank, then it is ready for drinking.
