Since the iconic Bialetti from 1933, several models have been manufactured that have helped to spread the tradition of Italian coffee across the world. It’s easy to use, but there are some little tricks to make an excellent coffee. The water temperature, the amount of ground coffee, the intensity of the heat; discover all the tricks to get a perfect coffee!

CHEMEX

Unique and sophisticated design characterises the most global of all coffee makers: invented by a German chemist in the United States in 1941, the Chemex is now appreciated by all coffee lovers. Its fascination lies in the ritual that accompanies the extraction of coffee: the choice of the filter, the water pouring technique, the timing. It is no coincidence that the most elegant dripper is now exhibited at the MoMa, the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

NEAPOLITAN COFFEE MAKER

The historical Neapolitan coffee maker actually originated in France in 1819, reportedly designed by the Parisian Morize. Over the centuries, however, the cuccumella has become one of the symbols of Naples’s culture and tradition. As precious and elaborate as a chemist’s formula, the preparation of the Neapolitan coffee maker requires a lot of attention to detail: here is everything you need to know about how to enjoy ’na tazzulella of perfect coffee!

COLD BREW

The United States made Cold Brew coffee a celebrity in the coffee world, but its consumption was first witnessed in Japan in the 1600s. From here, thanks to Dutch merchants, it has reached the rest of the world, which is why it is also called Dutch Coffee or Kyoto Coffee. To make this, you need a Cold Brew Tower and... a lot of patience! The secret of this preparation lies in the slow movement of water through the ground coffee, drop after drop.

Plunger, French Press, melior, French coffee maker: this extraction system is known by as many names as the countries in which it is used.
