CoffeeGeek - An Espresso Glossary (#)
„Moka Pot: an manual method of making a strong coffee. The moka pot is often referred to as an "espresso machine" but it is not one, using today's modern definition of what espresso is supposed to be. A moka pot is usually used on the stovetop (though self-contained, self-powered devices exist), and brews by forcing hot water through a bed of coffee using the power and pressure of steam. Most early "espresso" machines prior to the advent of pump or piston driven machines worked on the same principle of using steam to force water at slightly higher pressures than normal.“

„Instead of instant, I grind my own quality beans every day and brew with either a French Press or a Bialetti Brikka system Kaliffa Moka Pot. This brew is sometimes called Stovetop Espresso. But identifying Moka Pot coffee with espresso makes many a coffee snob quiver with uneasiness. I have not had enough real espresso experience to have found the cup that I could appreciate as a real elixir.“

CoffeeGeek - Nespresso Espresso Machines
„Around 40 machines make espresso with the proprietary Nespresso capsules. These machines gain in ease of use, but cost much more to operate, day to day, than a traditional machine, or even a pod machine.“
