I collect coffee pots and have a vacuum Hario that works with an
alcohol burner. Yama makes one, too. Lovely to watch, but you could
fall back asleep waiting for your first cup in the morning. Nice for
brunch guests to oooh and ahhh over.

I never had much luck with the moka type of pot, though I have one
made of stainless, so it works on a glass top or induction stove.

I have a Bodum Santos pot - it's a whole lot of fun. I'll be looking for a moka pot and alcohol burner setup.

I had a 12V powered pot 50 years ago. It clipped onto the car door,
and plugged into the cig lighter. I used it for several years,
driving across the country. It made good coffee.
