ALL THE AUTHENTIC TOOLS TO MAKE YOU
MASTER OF THE ESPRESSO
We brought from Italy to your kitchen the best and authentic tools. Let’s see what we have:
1
MOKA BIALETTI
La "Caffettiera", "Macchinetta del Caffè" or "Moka" (Espresso Machine) was Invented in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti. Before this time, you could have an espresso just in an Italian Bar. Then the magic happened! Everyone was able to reproduce Espresso at home.
Don't worry! Despite the appearance, Moka is very easy to use. It is made of three main components: 1. Il Bollitore (boiler) 2. L'"imbuto filtro" (funnel-shaped filter) 3. Il "Bricco" (Container).
We will show you how to use it below. But just to let you know, the flavor of Moka pot coffee depends greatly on bean variety, roast level, fineness of grind, water profile, and the level of heat used.

ITALIAN GROUND COFFEE
In Italy, one of the most famous coffee is Lavazza. Why? Well, in 1895 Luigi Lavazza bought a small grocery in Turin. Shortly Lavazza coffee become really famous in the city thanks to the distinctive taste his coffee had, due to a secret recipe. In fact, Luigi had a brilliant intuition. He started the art of combining different types of coffee from different geographical area, something nobody did before. The Lavazza coffee we drink today is the result of this idea. These coffees are harvested, processed, mixed and roasted to create many different and balanced blends and satisfy the taste of everyone of us.
