This is not a Moka Pot
Six minutes, then espresso. Ryantagcoffee watches water boil and vent from a compact metal brewer on a gas burner before coffee begins welling up into its upper chamber.
The June upload, titled "This is not a Moka Pot", has picked up about 26,000 views in a day, nearly ten times its usual daily pace. Its subject is the 9Barista, a stovetop espresso maker whose familiar silhouette requires a little explaining.
"It looks kind of like a moka pot, but it's completely different from a moka pot," the host says. He shows the cooling fins and explains that the device produces nine bars of pressure, like a regular espresso machine. Inside the upper section is a portafilter: he fills it with grounds, levels and tamps them, then fits a screen over the coffee puck before assembling the brewer.
For a creator whose experiments have included pulling espresso through a freeze-dried strawberry and adding Skittles to a shot, this is a different kind of coffee curiosity. The unusual ingredient is the equipment itself.
Viewers keep returning to the moka-pot comparison, the escaping hot water and the time needed to make a single serving. Some see clever engineering; others wonder how long a second drink would take. The opening joke is that Bentley, the Corgi, asked for coffee ages ago. By the time the cup is ready, he ignores it.

Looks like a light saber hilt

Soo…a moka pot designed by a jet engineer? That’s cool I guess
@MrQueperSee it on YouTubeClever bit of engineering and it looks cool, but 6+ minutes to make a single shot, then you gotta do it all again if you're making a drink for a partner or friend, it's just not practical or an efficient use of time.
