The moka pot represents nearly a century of ingenious simplicity in coffee brewing design, combining exceptional flavor with timeless functionality.
The secret to making a great Italian coffee is rooted to the history of the moka pot. In 1933, Alfonso Bialetti, a smelter and then an aluminum workshop owner, invented the octogonal coffee machine after watching his wife do laundry. After World War II, it was patented by his son as the Bialetti Moka Express, bringing espresso out of cafes and into Italian homes.
