某次在ML家聊天,ML跟我较真说只有摩卡咖啡,没有摩卡壶一说。
ML较真的结果,就是去wikipedia,正好也帮我搞清楚这原本就是两个不同的词——
所谓摩卡咖啡,英文写作:Cafe mocha

A
Café mocha is a variant of a cafe latte. Like a latte it is typically one thirdespresso and two thirds steamed milk, but a portion of chocolate is added, typically in the form of sweet cocoa powder, although many varieties use chocolate syrup. Mochas can contain dark or milk chocolate. Unlike
cappuccino, cafe mochas do not contain the well-known milk froth on top. They usually have whipped cream and a dusting of either cinnamon or cocoa powder. Marshmallows may also be added on top for flavor and decoration. A variant is white café mocha, made with
white chocolate instead of milk or dark. There are also variants of the drink that mix the two syrups; these are sometimes referred to as "Zebras", also, more comically referred to as "Tuxedo Mocha". A term
moccaccino is used in some regions of Europe and the Middle East to describe Café Latte with cocoa or chocolate. In the U.S. it usually refers to a cappuccino made with chocolate. Café mocha takes its name from the Red Sea coastal town of
Mocha, Yemen, which as far back as the fifteenth century was a dominant exporter of coffee, especially to areas around the Arabian Peninsula.Mocha, Yemen also grew Arabica Mocha coffee beans which have a milk chocolate flavor. Mocha coffee beans belong to the Coffea arabica plant. Mocha
is also a type of 'chocolatey' coffee bean (from Ethiopia but originally imported through Mocha in Yemen), whence may come the association with chocolate and the development of the chocolate-espresso drink. In Europe 'mocha coffee' can refer either to this drink or simply to coffee brewed with mocha beans.
大意就是说摩卡咖啡是三分之一的espresso加三分之二的牛奶,再加点巧克力混合制成的饮料。而Mocha一词,来自于红海地区也门的Mocha港口

而摩卡壶,则在英文中拼做Moka pot,只是发音与Mocha相同,在中文里都被翻译成了“摩卡”。

The
Moka pot (or Espresso pot, or Moka Express), is a stovetop espressomaker, based on the principle of preparing coffee with pressurized boiling water. On their English language website, Bialetti refers to their product as a coffee maker, not an espresso maker.[1] As the beverage produced by a Moka pot is not the same as coffee or espresso, the terms moka or stovetop espresso are often used to refer to it. It was invented by Alfonso Bialetti in 1933 and while there are currently many manufacturers, his company Bialetti continues to market the leading model, known by the brand name Moka Express. The original design was made from aluminium with bakelite handles. In
Italy, where Bialetti is based, the moka pot is in almost every home; elsewhere, it is known as an iconic design, displayed in modern industrial art museums, such as the Science Museum in London. Mokas come in different sizes, from one to eighteen coffee cups.

但因为Moka pot就是用来煮espresso的,所以摩卡壶和摩卡咖啡还是有联系的。
另外,贴一个用摩卡壶的小诀窍:
在减压阀开始有响声时,准备调整火力的大小,一旦看到摩卡壶中有咖啡液体流出,及时将火力调小,减缓萃取过程,煮出来的咖啡会更加香浓。
