"Italians do love their coffee, and any true-blue Italian will tell you that the best way to get your coffee fix isn't a pour-over, it isn't a French Press, and it sure as hell isn't those instant coffee mixes... it's a Moka Pot. Invented in 1933 by Bialetti, this pot is now practically a standard fixture in every Italian household."
"The Bialetti Moka coffee maker is a design object that represents a totally Italian way of making coffee but is also known abroad and is therefore an iconic object of immediate visual association with everything it has represented and still represents today, in this set proposal it has been combined with the classic cup to serve traditional Italian espresso coffee."
The Moka Pot operates by boiling water in a lower aluminum chamber so steam forces liquid upward through ground coffee in a central filter into the upper container. The resulting brew is thicker, more potent, and velvety, resembling espresso more than French Press or Chemex coffee. A LEGO rendition faithfully reproduces the pot's octagonal, hourglass aluminum exterior, complete with handle, lid grip, and visible safety valve, and splits into two halves. The miniature set pairs the pot with a tiny espresso cup decorated in Italian flag colors.
