This iconic coffee maker just got a stylish facelift

The Moka Pot is one of the most time-honoured — yet often misunderstood — ways to make coffee. It’s also one of the most recognisable kitchen gadgets, thanks to the ubiquitous Italian design left largely unchanged since 1933.

A new collaboration between Blue Bottle Coffee and designer Joey Roth revamps the Moka Pot with a brand-new and beautiful design.

Moka Pot coffee is misunderstood because the conventional thinking is that it is used for making espresso. Like espresso, there is pressure involved as steam pushes water through a puck of coffee grounds.

The resulting elixir is stronger than your average drip brew, but doesn’t quite produce the kind of espresso you would find in a café. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t left with some del iciou snes s. With measured expectations, the Moka Pot can serve any coffee lover well.

The new design, which you can preorder through Blue Bot t le for Rs 6,100 (approx), features an attractive combination of steel and porcelain with a cork handle. It is able to produce a greater quantity of coffee than a typical Moka Pot. If you aren’t a fan of the heavy body of the brew, you can add in a paper Aeropress filter for a lighter beverage.

You may think it’s nuts to spend so much, but hey, some people just take pride in looking at this refined piece of coffee gadgetry adorning their kitchen.
