#stovetop espresso maker

Inch High, Private Eye headcannon

Imagine, if you will, Mr. Finkerton, in his private penthouse at One Finkerton Square preparing a pot of decent espresso with one of those stovetop Moka espresso machines ... on a cook top stove, besides. Late at night (especially considering that espresso coffee beans have a darker roast, meaning quite a bit less caffeine).

(Oh, and did I mention that the espresso beans came from no less than Cattanooga Klatsche, Gatlinburg?)

ESPRESSO MACHINES COST HOW MUCH

[euphoriaslux]

a gloomy december morning

word count: 1196

warnings: suggestive sexual content, very slight jealousy, mentions of smoking and drinking. vincent being a dreamboat

a/n: i have never written before but i watched anatomy of a fall and knew what i had to do. i am so scared and think this is garbage but i hope u guys like it :))

*

vincent is fast asleep, a true rarity for your household. he’s naked, bar the thin linen blanket draped over his hips that his mother tossed in a bag when you two first moved into this home. you brush your fingers through his silver hair, shifting to give him a soft peck on his forehead. he shifts but ultimately stays in the same position.

smiling, you gently move your duvet off of your body, shivering at the lost warmth. you scan your shared bedroom, littered with strewn clothes, empty wine bottles and folders filled with documents and find a chair with an old tee shirt on it that hits just above your underwear.

you made a mental note to at least try to clean the house sometime soon, but you just couldn’t leave your vincent alone now that you finally had him for more than two hours at a time. after a year of only seeing him at night, or when you could visit his office during your lunch break, or over facetime in the early hours of the morning, something as simple as waking up with him felt sacred. you didn’t know how much of this you had.

you brace as you push the door close as quietly as possible, hissing as your feet hit the cold tile of the linoleum of your kitchen floor. it still smells vaguely of the cake you two shared last night, picking at pieces of tiramisu between gulps of white wine and sneaky kisses even though no one was watching. you grab some ground coffee and start to heat up your stovetop espresso maker, which you got at the insistence of your very stubborn husband.

-

“love, can’t we just get an instant coffee maker? it will be so much faster” you ask from behind your laptop, tucked into your velvet sofa as the december rain gently pattered onto your roof.

vincent chuckled, shaking his head as he pulled a pack of cigarettes from the drawer.

“you have not had a real cappuccino if it comes from a machine, chérie,” he says as he rummages through the kitchen drawers while swearing under his breath.

you rise from the couch with a soft sigh, shutting your laptop and placing it on the glass table in front of you and grabbing vincent’s lighter that’s pressed in between the couch cushions. his head whips around when he hears you click the lighter, and your cheeks widen as you walk over to him. vincent smiles back, his cigarette loosely hanging between his lips and his hair slightly disheveled from his search. he leans down ever so slightly, looking into your eyes as the flame lights the cigarette, taking a long drag before leaning against the kitchen counter.

“the coffee is more, how do you say bien équilibrée in english, darling?”

“well rounded,” you toss the lighter behind him, crossing your arms over your chest. he hums, nodding as he breathes out wafts of smoke.

“the coffee is more well-rounded,” the word sounds a little funny coming out of his mouth as if you could see his brain forming each letter in real-time. you can’t help but giggle, reaching behind him to open the kitchen window.

“i’m sure it is”

before you can fully stand up again his hand is on your lower back, softly bringing your body against his. he smells like tobacco and the slightly too minty toothpaste you buy from the convenience store down the road. he looks so beautiful in the dim winter light.

“tu me fais confiance, n'est-ce pas? (you trust me, don’t you?)” he asks, pressing his fingers into your side. he moves to hover just above your neck, and you can’t help but melt into his touch as he nibbles ever so gently on your neck, just below your ear. your eyes flutter closed and you feel the warmth pool in your lower stomach.

“vincent-”

“ you do, right?” he cuts you off as his hand wanders to the front of your body, playing with the waistband of your panties. his fingers ghost just above your cunt, and you sigh.

“of course, my love. always.”

you whine from the loss of contact as he steps away from you, taking a drag with a slight smile on his face.

“bon,” he says, his free hand caressing the side of your face.

“so we’ll go get our moka pot - not machine - tonight”.

-

you grin at the memory as you pour two shots of espresso into vincent’s favorite mug, along with a splash of whole milk, and turn on the burner to make another for yourself. you rock on your feet as you think of what to make for breakfast - maybe eggs? but vincent forgot to run to the farmers market, maybe jam on toast. there might be some leftover brioche-

you jump when you feel a pair of hands wrap around your chest smiling as you feel your husbands face nuzzle into your shoulder, pressing a few faint kisses on your skin while his hair tickles your neck.

“i thought you’d sleep for a few more hours honey,” you say, turning around to hand him his cup of coffee and laughing as his eyes brighten. he takes a sip, closing his eyes as he drinks.

“couldn’t sleep,” he says after a few moments, opening his eyes to stare into yours. his voice is deeper than normal, and you can tell he just woke up because there’s still a gravelly edge to it.

“i sleep poorly without you, honey.”

you raise your eyebrows as you let your fingers graze his chest and down his stomach.

“that’s a good one, do you tell all your girlfriends that?”

he rolls his eyes, taking a big sip before setting his mug on the counter.

“i’m being serious. i swear, every time it would get late and i’d try to sleep on sandra’s couch, i just couldn’t.”

your body goes rigid at the sound of her name but you try and ignore it, tracing circles onto his stomach. your mouth feels a little drier than it was a few minutes before.

vincent notices, of course he does. there’s nothing you could do that would get past him, the stellar lawyer.

“don’t be like that,” he whispers, cupping your hand in his face. you try to keep your gaze down but he tilts your head up.

you roll your eyes.

“every day while i was gone, all i wanted was to be home with you. you were all i could think about. you are all i ever think about.”

you feel lightheaded at his words, wrapping your arms around his neck as you kiss him deeply, sighing as your hand wanders down to the waistband of his boxers. you feel him smile into the kiss, putting out the cigarette so he has both hands free to touch you.

“take me to bed?”

you feel vincent’s stomach tense as your hand dips into his boxers. he gives you a soft kiss on the side of your face.

“how can i say no when you ask so nicely”.

Moka Pot Coffee Vs. French Press Coffee: Which One is Better for You?

If you're a coffee enthusiast, you know that the brewing method you use can make all the difference in the taste and quality of your coffee. Two popular brewing methods are the Moka pot and the French press. While both methods produce delicious coffee, they have their unique characteristics that make them suited to different preferences.

In this blog, we'll explore the differences between Moka pot coffee and French press coffee, and help you decide which one is right for you.

Moka Pot Coffee

The Moka pot, also known as a stovetop espresso maker, is a traditional and popular brewing method in and around Europe. It's a small and portable pot that brews coffee by passing boiling water through ground coffee beans. The resulting brew is a strong and concentrated espresso, perfect for those who love their coffee with a kick.

One of the significant advantages of using a Moka pot is that it produces a strong and full-bodied coffee with a rich aroma. It's also an affordable option compared to investing in an expensive espresso machine. However, the brewing process requires a bit of skill to get the right consistency and flavour. It also has a limited capacity, usually only 2 – 3 cups, which may not be suitable for larger groups or families at one go. Additionally, the brew can be too strong for some people's taste.

French Press Coffee

The French press, also known as a press pot, plunger pot, or cafetiere, is a classic and popular brewing method that produces a full-bodied and flavourful coffee. It consists of a glass carafe/ cylindrical pot, a plunger with a filter, and a lid. The coffee is brewed by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in hot water for a few minutes and then pressing the plunger down to separate the coffee from the grounds.

One of the significant advantages of using a French press is that it produces a rich and full-bodied coffee without the strength of an espresso. It's also an easy-to-use brewing method that requires no paper filters and has a large capacity suitable for brewing coffee for a group. It's also an affordable option compared to drip coffee makers. It's also not as portable as the Moka pot, making it less convenient for outdoor activities or travel.

Which One is Better for you?

When it comes down to it, the choice between Moka pot coffee and French press coffee depends on personal preference. If you prefer a strong espresso, the Moka pot is the way to go. It's also a more portable option than the French press, making it great for camping or traveling. However, it can be challenging to master the brewing process, and it has a limited brewing capacity.

On the other hand, if you prefer a rich and full-bodied coffee without the strength of an espresso, the French press is the better option. It's easy to use and has a larger capacity, making it ideal for brewing coffee for a crowd. It's also an affordable option compared to drip coffee makers. However, it can sometimes produce coffee with sediment or sludge, and it's not as portable as the Moka pot.

Conclusion

In conclusion, both the Moka pot and French press are excellent options for coffee lovers who want a rich and flavourful cup of coffee. It ultimately comes down to what you like and what works best for you. Whichever brewing method you choose, make sure to use high-quality coffee beans and experiment with different ratios and brew times to find your perfect cup.

Barista!Charlie who is determined to make his lover blush : If you were a coffee, you would be an espresso

Hector : *in sign language* Because I'm bitter?

Charlie : No, because you're so fine!

Hector : *tilts his head and frowns*

Charlie : *bangs his head as his pick up line fail and ends up babbling about coffee beans grinds chart for different coffee makers* you need to grind the beans until it's fine because of the short brew time that the coffee grind comes in contact with water. When brewing stovetop espresso, pressure builds up in the espresso maker which forces the water through the fine ground coffee. But if you use french press, you need course grind because--

Hector : *thinking how cute it is to see Charlie monologues** *can't stand the feeling in his chest* *kisses him instead*

Charlie : *becomes the one who blushes*

look, I get that I'm not the most objective person here considering I've been observing a kind of fucked-up Expert Mode Lent against my will for almost four solid years from all the shit I had to give up because people couldn't handle covering their plague-vector faces for six weeks at the start of this fucking pandemic, but people look so fucking ridiculous having Glorious Revolution fantasies when they can't even just not do small things. I'm not even talking about doing a small thing here (like wearing a goddamn mask), I'm talking about expending slightly less effort in your day.

To go to Starbucks and get a latte you have to go out to the location and drop at least $5, plus a tip (assuming you're not a total piece of shit.) If you're in the US or other car-centric countries, this most likely requires you to get in a car and drive over there, unless your home or workplace is in walking/biking/reasonable bus proximity. Using a stovetop espresso maker takes like 5-10 minutes, can be done without going outside, and is dramatically cheaper (and the resulting latte can be more reliably and simply customized to your tastes.) If you're lactose intolerant, making your own espresso drinks also spares you the dairy-substitute charge. If all this sounds like more effort than just venturing forth and spending at least $5 per drink to get a coffee, there plenty of other places with espresso drinks on the menu--if there's some Starbucks-only caffeine desert out there somewhere, I've yet to hear of it. But people will stick with Starbucks even though it demands more money and effort of them, I guess because it's a habit?

Which seems like a bullshit reason to keep doing something the hard way, especially when the hard way is under boycott for union-busting and suppressing employees who express support for Palestine. But if I've learned anything about people in general over the last four years, it's that a depressingly high number of people would rather actually die/kill than change even the tiniest aspect of their lives, so

I bought a little stovetop espresso maker I'm going to try stay tune.

[punisheye]

Neatly wrapped in a cozy spot in the house's living room, Wolfwood will find:

A set of fancy spice mixtures for meat, purchased at one of the markets around Spirale, along with a charmingly red stovetop espresso maker, complete with two small cups for him and Vash. There's also a card:

Hi boss! :P Happy holidays! I hope you enjoy — I love using my own moka pot. Meryl

It's unclear when Meryl got into the house to deliver the presents.

Well, how did this get here?

That's the main thought floating through his head when he's opening the gifts up, because the door was definitely locked when he and Vash left the house. Looks like Vash got gifts, too.

Wolfwood blinks a few times, is lips twitching up in a little grin. He reads over the note, huffing in amusement.

Maybe she found the spare key, or something.

He'll have to thank her next time he sees her.

For those who don’t know, I am a big fan of stovetop coffee makers, specifically Bialetti Moka pots, of which I have several. I found a bunch of fun ones recently and thought I’d share them under the cut, along with some Moka history.

One of my daily used ones is the Bialetti Mini Xpress, which makes espresso-akin coffee (I say “akin” because this isn’t done under the same pressure most traditional espresso is made, and I don’t want the coffee nuts getting at me)

Here’s my Mini Express and the cute espresso cups I ordered off of Etsy

(Ignore how dirty it is and the slightly melted handle)

This works like a standard Bialetti Moka Pot, which if you’re unfamiliar, looks like this:

The Moka Pot was invented in 1933, by an italian man named Alfonso Bialetti. These work in an interesting way. The bottom section is filled with water, then ground coffee is loaded into a filter funnel, and when the water boils on the stove top it gets pushed up through the coffee and into the top chamber. Alfonso was inspired by watching laundry women who used a similar device to distribute hot water and soap to their clothes. Here’s a diagram from a different brand but the construction is the same.

My Mini Xpress does the same thing with the water and the filter, the coffee is just pressured to go through the looped spouts instead of to a second chamber, to make it more like traditional espresso.

And there are tons of really fun variations on this format, and I just wanted to share some of my favorites I’ve found!

Moka Alpina:

This is also by Bialetti and it was designed after the Italian Alpini, their mountain infantry, who used to wear these hats with feathers in them. (Side note: I do not support any kind of military, I just thought this was interesting!) I just love how whimsical this one is, how many other coffee makers come with their own hat?

Tea Themed:

I found each of these on Etsy, and I loved how charming they are. They don’t appear to be Bialetti but the teapot like design is so darling. The third one seems more akin to traditional chinese tea pot designs, and I think that’s really fun.

Espressonist:

This is definitely one of the weirder ones I’ve seen. The Etsy listing says it was made by the Bialetti brothers, but its stamped “Vesuviana.” It is a stove top/induction burner, but the espresso hopper implies it can make a more traditional espresso — interesting!

The Hydra:

This one is also on Etsy (noticing a theme here?) and does four shots at once! So I suppose if you’re having guests over, or are just supremely sleepy, this must be nice. I’ve seen a few other of these multi-spout ones, but they don’t seem to be as common as the two spouters.

The tube:

What a fun pop of yellow! This one seems to be by the brand Allegra, which I am unfamiliar with. It looks like instead of the water pushing through the filter and to the second chamber via an internal spout, it goes out through the side and through that proboscis looking spout. Very unique looking, and I wonder what the idea was behind that decision...

The robotos:

These ones remind me of what people in the ‘60s thought robots would look like in the 2000s. Brightly colored and very round. The top one is definitely my favorite, there is something about it that feels very childlike to me.

The trashcan:

I mean... that’s exactly what it looks like right? This one weirds me out because I am so certain that the top and bottom chambers are reversed here, making it upside down. Otherwise if you used the chamber with the spout as the boiling chamber, wouldn’t the water just go through the spout? And if the top chamber (with the upside down handle?) was the coffee chamber, how would you pour the coffee? I’m getting a headache looking at this!

Anyways, those were just a few I found that I thought were interesting, I might make more random long posts about design stuff I like, probably just for me idk who else would be reading these

[taerrorize]

I rly have zero impulse control like I see something advertised well on tiktok and I immediately go to Amazon to buy it tell me why I need a travel backpack and a stovetop espresso maker I don’t but I bought them both anyway
