(The type of coffee the pots make should not be confused with caffè mocha, the hot drink that is a blend of hot chocolate and espresso.) Talk to any fan of the Moka coffee pots and the word “ritual” comes up over and over.Īlfonso Bialetti-an aluminum worker and tinkerer inspired by the washing machines of the day- invented the Moka Express pot in 1933. Minutes later you get the gurgling of the coffee as the boiling water bubbles up through the grinds, and the rich aroma that fills the room when the coffee is ready. There’s the gravely metal-on-metal sound made when the top and bottom chambers screw together. Making the highly potent coffee with a stovetop Moka pot is a sensory experience. “But faster and more practical doesn’t always mean better.”
“All the alternatives to the Moka are designed to make coffee faster or in a more practical way,” Guggeri told Fortune. Now a 56-year-old IT professional, Guggeri also runs a small Facebook group aimed at “everyone who prefers coffee made with a Moka.”
