The principle of extracting coffee from mocha pot

The mocha pot extracts coffee by using the vapor pressure produced in the next pot (about 1.5-3.0 atmospheric pressure). When the steam pressure is high enough to permeate the coffee powder, the hot water will be pushed to the pot. The hot water will pass through the coffee powder in the filter on the way to the pot, and the essence of the coffee will be extracted very quickly. The extracted coffee essence, with a strong, sour and bitter taste, is the closest coffee utensil to espresso.
