Coffee training pot Bilodi Bialetti mocha pot

The earliest way to cook coffee is to directly boil the coffee powder with water on the stove and filter it to drink. Since the 19th century, some people have tried to use steam to brew coffee, hoping to make a strong cup of coffee in a very short time. At the beginning of the 20th century, when the industrial revolution began to ferment around the world, the Italians created a coffee machine shaped and powerful like a steam train boiler, with a dazzling metal shell with brass accessories that made the coffee sound and light. The steam train is an epoch-making product that allows people to travel quickly from one place to another, and it is not disappointing to use it in brewing coffee. The sense of modernity combines perfectly with the taste of coffee, and the cafe attracts Italian men like magnets. There is always a good excuse to leave home.

Compared with the coffee in the cafe, the coffee that women drink at home is too much. This was not completely changed until 1933, when Alfonso Bialetti invented the first appliance to revolutionize home coffee. And this coffee utensil is the mocha pot we are familiar with today, and what is even more amazing is that this mocha pot has not changed anything since it was designed by Bialetti. Regardless of the material design or even the appearance, what we see today is exactly the same as the first mocha pot born in 1933. Its unique shape is even on the list of the most influential Italian designs of the 20th century, along with the Vespa locomotive of 1946 and the Fiat 500of 1957.

Clever Bialetti made a mocha pot that allows people to make coffee like a cafe at home, but the octagonal mocha pot didn't really flourish until his son Renato inherited the mantle.

Renato returned to Italy from Germany after World War II and reopened the machines and equipment that his father packed during the war. Coupled with his marketing skills, from reading pages, newspapers, radio and even large three-dimensional product sculptures outside the exhibition hall, Moka Express expanded the output of this mocha pot from 10, 000 units a year to a thousand products a day, and set a record global sales of 300 million units from 1950 to the end of the 20th century.

Times are changing, and the materials of the mocha pot have evolved from aluminum, but the Moka Express mocha pot produced by Bialetti not only uses industrial technology to mass-produce some of its parts, but the bottom of the mocha pot used to hold water is still handmade since it was founded in 1933, which is why its inner surface looks very handmade. Real Italian Bialetti's original mocha kettle has a cartoon mustache man's fingers up as if he were ordering a cup of coffee. This is the logo shape of a Bialetti mocha pot created by Renato in the image of his father, and now it not only appears in 90% of Italian families, but also has a secure place in the minds of coffee-loving ethnic groups around the world.
