Mokapots, Moka, or Stovetop Espresso, Period.

That brew rate isn't much more than a dribble.

The process gets the entire metal pot far too hot to touch (125*F = ouch). My pour is always hot - even it I wait minutes before filling a cup. If you have a problem with cool brew, try preheating your mug with boiling water while your coffee is brewing. MMoo

Is this different than the video you posted a couple years back that is linked in this thread? I don't think the brew time was that long in it.
