Your first few steps into any traditional Italian household will be met with a hug, a kiss on each cheek, and the aromas of coffee and instantly recognisable hiss of the Moka pot. As soon as you take your seat, a cup of freshly brewed coffee is poured and served alongside assorted home‑baked biscuits; a truly authentic Italian welcome ritual that will make you feel right at home.
Aesthetically influenced by futurism and, allegedly, mechanically inspired by a laundry boiler after Alfonso Bialetti watched his wife do laundry, the Original Moka Express brewed its first cup of coffee in 1933. From being almost an exclusively communal activity, often accompanied by the sharing of stories, news, poetry, and literature, Italian coffee along with its ability to spark a meaningful conversation between strangers comfortably made its way into humble homes. Turning every stovetop into a throne not only for food, but also for coffee.
The Moka pot produces an intense brew that is still indulgent for many home drinkers looking for an alternative to traditional espresso. Water boils through the coffee chamber, extracting beautiful flavours and caffeine from the beans and delivering it through the spout to fill up the top chamber with freshly brewed rich, and concentrated coffee. A high‑pitched hiss will let you know when your coffee is ready to be poured. Authenticity in the aromas, flavours, and body of the coffee is decided by the roast and grind size you use. Grazia’s signature blends, roasted the traditional Italian way, will undoubtedly serve you a rich and intense Italian‑tasting cup of coffee and recreate the vibes of a cozy Italian home.
