Mr. moustache, the founder of the mocha pot, has become a classic.

On February 11, 2016, Renato Billetti, the former owner of the world-renowned Italian mocha coffee maker, died in Ascona, Canton Ticino, Switzerland, at the age of 93.

He was the prototype for the moustache man on the mocha pot.

Moka pot is a tool used to extract espresso coffee, commonly used in European and Latin American countries, known as "Italian drip pot" in the United States.

Mocha pot is a two-layer structure, placed in the lower part of the water boiling, will be filled with coffee powder through the mesh filter spray into the upper part of the pot. Although hot water can be injected into the medium ground coffee powder without using air pressure, it is not strictly a concentrated extraction, but closer to the drip type, but the coffee made by the mocha pot still has the strength and flavor of Espresso.

Traditional mocha pots are made of aluminum and can be heated with an open flame or an electric stove. Because the aluminum mocha pot cannot be heated on an induction cooker, modern mocha pots are mostly made of stainless steel,

There are also ceramic mocha pots.
