Inspired by the Yemeni city of Mocha, the Bialetti Moka Express was created in 1933 by Italian engineer Alfonso Bialetti and swiftly became a cornerstone of coffee tradition. This stovetop espresso maker delivers a rich, genuine espresso in minutes. The original Moka Express earned recognition as the fifth most notable Italian industrial design of the 20th century and is celebrated as a design classic, featured in institutions like the New York Museum of Modern Art and London’s Science Museum, where Bialetti’s original plans are preserved.
