There is a wonderful complexity, yet simplicity to a good cup of coffee. For some it is a flavor or a certain creamer or sweetener, for others the bitter darkness of the coffee. Still others like the roast-y flavor of the coffee, and others just like a cup to wake them up in the morning.
There are just as many ways to make a cup of coffee as there are flavors in the coffee. One of the most enjoyable for me is Italian coffee. A seemingly inconspicuous, small cup of coffee- but upon first sip, there is an explosion of flavor, a concentrated coffee where every note is extended to enjoy the full flavor of the coffee. How can one make a cup of coffee of this caliber? Easy! Bialetti Moka. This wonderful little coffee pot can make up to 12 cups of coffee, depending on the pot bought. And is a lot of fun to make. The coffee goes into the small cup and the water goes into the bottom. Then the coffee pot is screwed together and placed on the stove. After a few minutes the actions starts, water boils and bubbles making a wondrous cup of Espresso. It is very easy and a whole lot of fun.
Growing up, my grandparents would make big huge overly large meals once a week on Sunday. These meals would be 2-3 courses and always end with coffee, no matter what time of night. I will never forget the coffee in the Bialetti bubbling on the stove. My grandmother tending to the dishes and my grandfather not sleeping in front of the TV after a big meal. I hope you are able to build such memories with your family and friends over a pot of coffee too. I know I was able to rekindle them myself.
This pot is also great for travel due to it’s small size, and would also create the perfect brew while camping. It is easy to take, clean, and use.
Thank you….I’ve looked at these many times at Target because since my visit to Italy, I have had an “I love everything Italian” thing going on There is no doubt about Italian coffee. I’m going to get it. Plus, they are only about $20 so it doesn’t sound like I can go wrong.
I have this pot and love it.
This looks like a great product! THanks for sharing.
