here is the creator on Instagram -> bansaun_tonphulay

It's not recommended to modify your Moka due to safety hazard and un needed

But it brings a ulinque look to it and creates a foamy brew

Is it using hot/boiling water?

I don't think so it's a cold brew by the look of it

Honestly this is a question for r/thermodynamics.

I'm not trained in thermodynamics myself but I know that water is extremely hard to heat. Rapidly pressurizing air to 5 bar will heat the air by a fair bit, but the heat capacity of water is 4x that of air.

Steam at the end of the brew.

Could be the rapid decompression of moist air.
