BIALETTI MOKA EXPRESS The Timeless Italian In 1919 Alfonso Bialetti started a workshop in the village of Crusinallo, situated in the lakeside region of Omegna, Italy. The company quickly grew to become a home for designing and manufacturing aluminium products. Fourteen years later in 1933, the Moka Express stovetop coffee maker was born! Alfonso Bialetti decided to revolutionise the daily ritual and bring café-quality coffee into the homes of Italians by creating a simple, easy-to-use solution. Today, the Moka Express has won a place in the hearts and kitchens of many coffee lovers around the world. The Art Deco Moka maker is an international icon and has become a symbol of “Made in Italy”, earning its place in the permanent collection at the Milan Triennale and the MoMA in New York.
