Italians generally do, and if you're going to use their word then that should be what counts. (Obviously it has the downside of not let you brag about how high a pressure you used to... well, no-one actually cares what you did with the pressure, but big number better, clearly)



LOLNO.

The flavor and texture of low-pressure Moka pot coffee is entirely different from what we get out of higher pressure modern espresso machines.

Italian word or not, it's just not the same thing. That some ill-informed people CALL it the same thing doesn't make it so.
