What's this type of coffee maker called?

Consider, moka pot

The moka pot is a stove-top or electric coffee maker that produces coffee by passing boiling water pressurized by steam through ground coffee. It was patented for the first time in Italy by the inventor Luigi De Ponti for Alfonso Bialetti, in 1933. Bialetti Industrie continues to produce the same model under the name "Moka Express".

The moka pot is most commonly used in Europe and in Latin America. It has become an iconic design, displayed in modern industrial art and design museums such as the Wolfsonian-FIU, Museum of Modern Art, the Cooper–Hewitt, National Design Museum, the Design Museum,and the London Science Museum. Moka pots come in different sizes, from one to eighteen 50 ml servings. The original design and many current models are made from aluminium with Bakelite handles. Wikipedia


This is a Moka Pot.

One thing I'd like to clear up - the moka pot doesn't brew by passing through steam through the grounds. Steam is created in the boiler section, and as the pressure increases, it forces the remaining water up through the grounds. The temperature of the water is actually very similar to that used in an espresso machine.

The reason why you don't get a crema is that the pressure is much lower.
