In 2016, I was stunned by the coffee in Italy, and picked up a cute little brewer - Moka Express by Bialetti a.k.a. Moka Pot. It is as Italian as it gets for a home brewer. Apparently 90% of Italian homes had a Bialetti moka pot in 2010. Why do I love Moka Pot? To begin with, it was love at first sight as well as the first love, the first coffee brewer we had. I adore its design - simple yet iconic. It’s brew process - complex (easy to mess up) but satisfying. Lastly, the power to brew an espresso like shot as a base to prepare cappuccino to affogato to just savouring neat.
