can moka pot make cappuccino?

Nov 15, 2003 2 Replies

we never drink straight expresso, only drip and the occasional latte or cappuccino when we're out - we cant spend big bucks on a great expresso machine so........could a moka pot be purchased & considered 'the poor man's expresso machine" for the purpose of lattes and cappuccinos ?



and I guess we'd have to have a way to froth the milk - we do have a little stainless steel pitcher with a plunge/press pot type thingy that fits within to do it with



recipes?


Espresso, not expresso. Moka pots cannot make espresso, since they cannot reach anywhere close to the necessary pressure. They can make good, strong coffee, but it's not espresso. There are some moka pots with integrated steam wands, which can do a basic job of frothing.
