Boiler

Holds the water. On the heat, steam pushes the water through the funnel and the coffee up to the collector.

The valve on the side releases pressure if something clogs. Never fill above it.

Glossary 1
Pre-heat
Heating the water before assembling the moka pot drastically cuts extraction time. Without it the coffee sits over heat too long and turns bitter.
