The world is full of examples of good and functional designs, but my selection is limited to one that is an indispensable part of my life, and I dare say that it is also an indispensable part of a great number of people's lives.
The device is of Italian origin and emerged in the first half of the last century, breaking with the stereotypes established at that time. Here I leave this link if you want to know about its history. Its design remains almost unchanged to this day, but that's what happens with good designs, they don't need to change... they are perfect. The principle of its operation is simple physics applied in an extraordinary way.
Its elegant, simple design and proven functionality for nearly a century have undoubtedly made it an international icon. Unfortunately, I don't have an Italian-made "Bialetti Moka Express" at home; mine is a Chinese copy of the famous and perfect coffee pot. However, the coffee we brew in it is perfect for flavoring our lives, and the distinctive sound it makes when it finishes brewing is music we hear several times a day.
Please come, sit down, I'd like to invite you to a good cup of Cuban "Criollo" coffee, freshly brewed in a perfect "Italian coffee pot".
The images and text are my own. I used DeepL for the translation.
Thank you very much for the coffee. Could I have it with milk? I'll bring the biscuits or pastries. What do you think? I loved the photos and how important this useful tool for making coffee is to you and so many Cubans. Hugs!😃
Oh, I'm sorry, I'll bring you the milk and even some cookies if you wish, of course!!! Aunque podemos tomar un mate...por cierto nunca he tomado mate. Maybe someday we can share some over there, in the Motherland 😊. Nice week, a hug 🤗
I like coffee with milk... not too much coffee, ha ha ha. When I was studying, I drank so much black coffee that it made me sick, and if not mate, ha ha ha ha, I loved your post!🤗
I like black coffee, although I don't dislike it prepared with other additives. I still try not to abuse its consumption because I feel that my stomach does not tolerate abuse 🤭. I'm really glad you liked my simple post 🥰🤗.
🤗🤗🤗
I always thought all Europeans drink only black coffee, because every time I go to Europe, they nearly always serve me black coffee and I have to ask for milk
There's a lot of coffee here, and in this city alone, they're called different names depending on the amount of milk... but I'm Argentinean and I drink mate! Hahaha.
One of the best inventions ever!
Thanks for joining in, I appreciate it.
Thanks to you for bringing these weekend topics. A good week with the necessary doses of good coffees!!
Greca, I think that's what my grandmother called it, a super brilliant invention that makes us enjoy both the aroma and the exquisite flavor of coffee, excellent choice of the most brilliant objects that exist, happy weekend and enjoy a delicious coffee ☕️❤️
Yeees, it is also known as "Greca". In some article I read that this name was given because the use blackens the material giving it a color similar to that of the clothes of the Greek orthodontic priests. I do not know the veracity of the story but it is told by several sites I found. Happy week and thanks for visiting my blog 💚
Wow, that's a new coffee maker! It debuted for this post. 😂
No, it is not new 🤣, it has a good time already. We use it very little because it has 4 cups...only when we receive visitors. The one for continuous use is the small one with only 2 cups ☺️
The function, shape and aesthetics of this item are great.
Exactly!! Thanks for stopping by. Nice week 😁.
Not being a coffee drinker, I always feel very stupid because I don't know how to use the complicated coffee machines or even a moka express like this. That aside, I think coffee accessories are very cool in deed. That's the only reason why I have a coffee machine at home😀
Ohh it's a good reason to have a coffee machine at home 🤣!
