GUILIANO MAZZOULLI MOKA 1
Moka-1 Roller ball-Ball point:  In those days Guiliano Mazzuoli states, the so-called “American-kitchen” did not exist in Italy.  My grandmothers’ kitchen was sparsely furnished, but high upon a shelf stood the only ornaments in the room… four gleaming coffee-makers of various sizes.  I never once saw my grandmother use them to make coffee, but she would polish them daily.  Designed in the 1930s by Alfredo Bialetti in an elegant Art-Deco style, the “Moka” coffee maker was a luxury item in those times.  It was not until the 1950s, however, that the “Moka” became known throughout the world.  In places where coffee drinking customs were completely different from our own, the “Moka” coffee makers were used both to make coffee and decoration, as in my grandmother’s kitchen.

Today, the “Moka” coffee maker is an everyday object consisting of two parts that screw together; it is used to make authentic home-made Italian coffee.  It is a masterpiece of design for me.

 The “Moka” line is manufactured with chromed or anodized aluminum, in seven colors.
