The mocha pot, also known as the stove-top Italian coffee pot, can make perfect coffee using basic physical principles. There are three compartments in the mocha pot, one for water, one for coffee powder, and one for brewed coffee.

The mocha pot is heated on the stove to steam the water, increase the pressure in the bottom compartment, push the water up over the fine grains of coffee, and finally into the upper compartment. When the coffee fills the upper compartment, it can be poured out. The pressure in the inner compartment of the mocha pot is small and will only accumulate to 1.5bar, which is much lower than the 9bar pressure achieved by traditional Italian coffee. However, this coffee pot has a simple design and can make good coffee, so it is widely welcomed by the general public.

Alfonso. Alfonso Bialetti, who invented the mocha pot in the 1930s, is said to have been inspired by watching his wife wash clothes. The early washing machine came with a bucket of soapy water, which had to be boiled over the fire. Then the water is pushed out of the pipe and drenched on the dirty clothes. Bialeti's coffee maker uses the same principle, but his design hasn't changed much so far. Since its inception in 1933, the mocha pot has sold 300 million units worldwide and has become a must-have equipment for coffee lovers around the world.
