I think espresso is the basic of different kinds of coffees. It changes into various coffees with different ingredients added. But, since good espresso machines are quite expensive to buy, I use 'Moka Pot' to make espresso-like coffee.
This (←) one is the Moka Pot. It is also kwon as a macchinetta (literally "small machine") or "Italian coffee pot". According to my mother most of the Italians have at least one pot at their home. It is a stove top coffee maker which produces strong espresso-like coffee. SO, it is a good tool to make coffee similar to the espresso if you do not have espresso machine. Moka Pot is divided into three different parts : Collecting Chamber(upper part), Basket (inner part), and Bottom Chamber(bottom part). 
This(←) is the Basket of moka pot. The coffee is putted on it and the water comes up to collecting chamber through it. 
The bean I choose for today is El Salvador form El Salvador, Central America. It is one of my favorite! It has mild and sweet scent. It has the exactly same scent of coffee in my imagiantion. :) love it!
Firstly, prepare the roasted El Salvador bean. Then measure the weigh. 7gram for a person is adequate. But I just used coffee scoup ... :) 
Then, get the coffee grinder. I have two coffee grinder and this one is Kalita's coffee grinder. It is more classical than the other one, Hario. Personally I prefer Hario to Kalita because it is more practical. However I left it in my another home in Jeonju so i had to use it for today. 
Now, put the bean into the grinder and spin the handle until it grinds the beans totally. For the moka pot, it is good to grind the bean fine and softly. So adjust the grinder for finest particle.
Can you see how coffee bean turned into coffee powder? It is very soft and fine! 
If the coffee powder is ready, pour water into the bottom chamber. 
Then, put the basket in the bottom chamber and put the coffee power on it.
Flatten and press the coffee powder with such thing as spoon.
Put the upper chamber on to the bottom chamber and boil. Put it on the stove and level the flame to the smallest and mildest one because the handle can be burned. Be careful! Also, it is better to have trivet to set the moca pot on the stove.
When it boils, turn off the stove. The coffee finally appeared in the coellecting chamber! 
This coffee from moka pot is quite thick and bitter, similar to the espresso. Therefore, you can add other kinds of ingredients such as sugar, water or milk. For me, who do not drink coffee often, it was too bitter T^T although the scent was amazing.
I mixed the coffee with water and sugar! it was definately better! If you pour more water, it turns into Americano and if you mix the coffee with milk, it turns into latte! How easy to make a cup of variety of coffees by moka pot!
