The secret is to use medium heat so that the steam builds nicely. they also work well with ordinary grocery store coffee--fine grind if you can get it--and for parsimonious me that is important.
Ok here's a stupid question: I know what a moka pot is but how does it work exactly? You just heat the water and then pour in the coffee? Can you heat other liquids in it, as well?
