Too bad I threw mine away 15 the years ago looks like a fun science project.

1. Cook the coffee until it dries on the top, and the aluminum reaches flash point of dried out burnt coffee.

2. drill a hole through the bottom chamber into the top and turn the burn on, light the top of the mokka.

3. Use denatured alcohol in lieu of water to brew.

I think option 2 will make the flame fastest.

Full quote:

The phrase "a muddy cup of coffee" might date back to this era, when ground coffee typically contained dyed sawdust, tree bark, or charred bone, and fake coffee beans were made out of wax and dirt. "I'm especially bitter about this, because I love coffee," says Blum.

Noticed a coffee with chicory sold at Vietnamese retailers that comes from New Orleans. http://www.cafedumonde.com/history
This old French style coffee is used the making of Vietnamese style coffee with condensed milk. Most likely goes back to France -Vietnam colonization.
Coffee with chicory root also popular as a freeze dried mix in many countries. Big brands like Nescafe also produce a version called Ricoffy.
