Stovetop Espresso Maker

The Stovetop Espresso Maker in Animal Crossing resembles a classic moka pot, an iconic Italian coffee maker invented in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti. Designed with a distinctive octagonal aluminum body, the moka pot brews coffee by using steam pressure to push hot water up through ground coffee and into an upper chamber. It became a staple of Italian kitchens throughout the 20th century and remains a symbol of everyday European coffee culture. Compact, durable, and visually recognizable, the moka pot perfectly captures the cozy, domestic feel reflected in Animal Crossing’s version.
