I see the same, I just forgot the word and also confused it with the Turkish cevze. As in, had always confused them, I didn't realise moka pots were Italian. Anyway - I'm pretty confident you won't find Italians in Italy talking about the cup size of their moka pot or using cups to measure coffee grounds/water into it.

I've never heard an espresso machine called a coffee maker either, but I've never heard the latter term at all, hence this whole thread. Sounds like a refusal to call someone (i.e. a person, not machine) a 'barista' to me.
