Italian Coffee is another method of preparing coffee. It involves a unique "Italian coffee-maker" design which was invented in the mid 20th century and uses pressure forced through finely ground coffee. It is a common kitchen appliance in Italy as well as throughout Europe. While the more common "drip brew" method of preparing coffee is popular in North America, the more European standard is coffee prepared by pressure.
Pressure-Brewing
Pressure brewing is popular in making Espressos, and involves a multi-chamber coffee-maker, sometimes called a moka pot. One chamber collects the water and boils it. The boiling water -in the 90s in degrees Celsius or around 200 in degrees Fareinheit- is forced through the finely-ground coffee contained in a second chamber. The third chamber catches the brewed coffee, or the coffee-maker will be designed to hold the cups that act as the third chamber in catching the brewed coffee.
Some connaisseurs argue that pressure brewing and the heat that it forces through the coffee burns aromas in the coffee and therefore, cannot make as good a cup of coffee.
