Cuban Coffee Pots

Moka pots or stove-top coffee makers - you can get them for about 10LV from most all-purpose household tat shops. Although they’re quintessentially Italian, Bulgarians call them Cuban because that’s where they imported them from during Communism. There’s a satisfying steampunk element to making Cuban coffee, none of the faff of filters or capsules, and you don’t need an instruction manual, just the pot, the coffee, some water, and a source of heat. The taste is far superior to the scalded tar you get from permanently re-heating filter machines and the pretentiously named foam that dribbles from expensive chrome gadgets.
