Stovetop espresso

3-cup aluminum moka pot (sample)

The stovetop classic: strong, espresso-adjacent coffee with no machine and no electricity. It rewards a little practice — medium heat and pre-heated water tame its bitterness.

Best for: Strong-coffee drinkersBest for: Small budgetsBest for: Induction with an adapter plate

Worth knowing: Easy to over-extract until you learn the heat cutoff

Milk tools
