About

The espresso pot is an octagonal shaped stove top device invented by Alfonso Bialetti to make espresso. It uses steam to build pressure and forces the boiling water up it's funnel, through the ground coffee and finally collected on the upper chamber. The pot should be removed from the heat before it starts gurgling.
