Bialetti Mocha Pot
Here is another way to make one cup of coffee at a time. The Moka pot above makes more than one cup, but there are other models in smaller sizes.
Not only is a mocha pot one of the simplest and best ways to make a great cup of coffee, but this Bialetti model is also a thing of rare beauty.
Most coffee makers look plain ugly. Even the original, basic Moka pot design was somewhat drab. But this stainless steel beauty will look good anywhere…in your kitchen or on the dinner table after a meal with friends.
A mocha pot makes a coffee that is unmistakably rich, with a taste somewhere between regular drip brew coffee and espresso.
We use our Bialetti on a regular basis. We don’t use it to make straight shots of espresso. But we do use it to make espresso to which we add hot water or hot and frothy milk.
To use a mocha pot, you simply add the water to the bottom section, pour ground coffee into the metal filter, put everything back together and then heat it up on the stove.
In addition to its beautiful design and the quality of the coffee it brews, this mocha pot has a couple of other advantages that might appeal:
- No plastic parts.
- No moving parts or electronics (i.e. nothing to go wrong.)
Basically, the Bialetti Mocha Pot delivers on the promise of all good design – beauty and functionality combined.
Use it to make a coffee for yourself, or when you are entertaining and want something a little more stylish than a regular glass carafe.

, you get something between a coffee and an expresso. Whenever I use my own Moka pot, I always add hot milk and end up with what I describe as a poor man’s latte. A Moka pot doesn’t make a true espresso, but it’s close.
