Using a stove-top moka pot is a quick and simple way to make espresso at home. It's not complicated either. This illustrated set of steps will have you making espresso in no time. One of the great things about using a moka pot is that it doesn't take any electricity.

You didn’t explain the grind for this espresso. I’m assuming it’s espresso, but you’re not clear. The photos were helpful. thank you

What are the proportions of espresso and water for 1 serving? I have a Moka pot but the instructions weren’t helpful as to how much to use.
