THE ICON:
Alfonso Bialetti invented the Moka Express coffee maker in 1933. The Moka Pot's ingenious three-chamber design uses steam pressure to force water through ground coffee, creating a rich, concentrated brew in the upper chamber. Revell's photograph celebrates its Art Deco-inspired shape.
The original octagonal design was inspired a number of abstract influences, a French laundry machine with a central chimney to create steam, a silver coffee service, and the tapered waistline of his wife's silhouette. The play of light on its ribbed aluminium body. It's a portrait of democratic luxury—the design that brought the essence of espresso into homes worldwide.

A recent study calculated that 90% of all Italian families own a Moka pot made by Bialetti. The iconic octagonal silhouette of the Moka Pot is a design symbol that turns a humble stovetop into an Italian cafe.
