The development history of the Moka pot

The inspiration for the creation of the Moka Pot came from the washing machine used by Alfonso Bileti's wife at the time. The washing machine at that time had a metal pipe in the middle, which sucked the heated soapy water up from the bottom of the washing machine and sprayed it onto the top of the clothes. He was inspired to create the Moka Express, the world's first household Moka pot that used steam pressure to extract coffee in 1933. This invention revolutionized the Italians' original coffee making method of using high pressure to extract coffee liquid in a short time. The production became simple and convenient, and the Moka pot gradually became popular in Italian families, and later developed into an indispensable coffee appliance in Italian family kitchens. It can be said that 8-9 out of 10 families have a Moka pot, and the Moka pot also It has become a classic product under the Biledi brand founded by Alfonso Bileti.

Traditional moka pots are made of aluminum and can be heated over an open flame or an electric stove. Since this kind of aluminum Moka pot cannot be heated on an induction cooker, most modern Moka pots are made of stainless steel, and there are also electric-heated Moka pots like electric kettles.

In the 1950s, the booming economy drove coffee consumption, and more than 20 million sets of Moka pots were sold in just ten years.

In 1998, the Brikka double-valve high-pressure moka pot was born. The double-valve design allows the extracted coffee to obtain richer oils.

In 1999, the Moka Elettrika Moka Pot was born, which was Bileti's first travel-friendly Moka pot.
