The coffee maker that operates in reverse to a standard moka pot is called the Neapolitan flip coffee pot (also known as the Caffettiera Napoletana or Cuccumella).
Instead of using steam pressure to push boiling water upward through coffee grounds (like a moka pot), the Neapolitan pot heats water in a bottom chamber, and you flip the entire device upside down so gravity pulls the water down through the grounds.
How to brew:
Fill: Water goes in the bottom boiler, and loose, uncompacted coffee goes into the middle filter basket.
Assemble & Heat: Place the serving pot upside down on top, lock the pieces together, and put it on the stove.
Flip: When steam escapes from a tiny hole indicating the water is boiling, turn off the stove, use a towel to grab the handles, and flip the whole maker over.
Drip: The water slowly drips via gravity into the serving carafe below.
