What's a mokka?
Sorry, moka, a typo. It's this:
A traditional italian coffee machine. It's made in aluminium or steel, and the filter is also on the same material so you don't have to use one every time. They are extremely durable, with some passing from parents to children.
Is it easy to use? Won't it burn easily on the stove top?
Just put the water in the lower part (fill it just below the safety valve), add ground coffee to the filter, close it and put it into the fire. When the coffee is starting to get ready, you'll hear the charasteristic "gargle" and when it's done, a "whistle".
It's pretty easy to prepare coffee on them and I'd argue they make the best coffee of all.
Here a pic of an open moka so you can see the filter and the rest of the parts of it. It's a different model but it only changes the form factor.
Nah they're like a better percolator, pretty easy to use.
