Done properly, steam shouldn’t be going through the coffee grounds in a moka pot. The expansion of the air (and evaporation of the water as well admittedly) in the lower chamber pushes the hot water up through them.

If the water steams enough to rise the pressure its definitely not 93 degrees. Also the grounds are heated by the moka itself.
