The Bialetti stove top coffee machine was invented in 1918, when Alfonso Bialetti returned to his native Italy from France, where he had worked in the aluminium industry, to start a small workshop manufacturing metal household goods.
Its sleek geometric look has made it a design classic and this is where I took inspiration for my limited edition Moka Express Coffee Pot silkscreen prints. The beautiful angles of this design icon inspired the pattern. I love playing around with different colours in my print studio!
The Moka has become a symbol of Italy and the way Italians enjoy their coffee. Nine out of ten Italian homes have one! There is definitely a pleasure to be taken from the process of using a Moka Express. Turning on the stove and waiting for that characteristic gurgling noise and fresh aromatic coffee smell.
Mmm, just smell that fresh brew...
