Such a complex and delicate process has given birth to Italy's unique coffee culture and numerous types of coffee. The coffee that people often drink in Italy is distilled and has a strong flavor, similar to the espresso coffee of China's "Kungfu Tea". There is also dotted with milk foam, fragrant cappuccino. In addition, coffee with many other ingredients, such as chocolate, cream, wine and even whisky, is more common in Italy.

If you walk into the kitchen of any Italian family, you can always see an octagonal, exquisitely made coffee pot about 30 centimeters high. This is the famous mocha pot, which makes exquisite mocha pots that can exert the aroma and romance of coffee to the extreme. At the same time, it is also an exquisite decoration. In addition to the popular coffee pot, there are also mocha pots decorated with various patterns and original designs.
