Recently, Stephanie from Wasabimon honored me by asking if I would do a guest post on her blog. After much consideration, I wrote about making Espresso in the infamous Moka Pot!  What’s a Moka Pot you ask?  Well here’s a little snippet of the story followed by a link to the full post on her blog. Be sure to click on it so you can read all about it…(& be sure to leave her some comment love  *wink wink* & then of course run out & get yourself a Moka Pot)

To give you a little history: The Moka Pot was created in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti. His stove top espresso maker revolutionized the preparation of espresso coffee, and is still the most popular way of making espresso at home. Especially in Europe. For those interested in the technical part: the coffee is prepared by creating steam pressure in the bottom chamber that forces hot water up through ground coffee and into the serving chamber. The steam pressure produces a smooth and creamy coffee with a distinctive frothy cap. Me, I just like to know that it makes an ah-mazing cup of coffee that even a novice can prepare!

Okay, if you’ve never used a Moka pot I’m sure you’re thinking, this can’t be as easy as that? Well it is and I’ll show you …
