La moka

A sunlit kitchen with a moka pot

Did you know?

The moka pot was invented in 1933 and is still in almost every Italian kitchen. Steam pushes hot water up through the coffee.

Italians drink cappuccino in the morning and espresso later — ordering a cappuccino after dinner will get you a very gentle smile.

Every kitchen at home has a moka on the stove. When it starts to gurgle, someone shouts caffè! and everybody comes.

Adam is from Emilia-Romagna — visit his home region.
