Many people wonder why, to this day, Bialetti continues to use aluminum as the main material for their coffee makers rather than other metals. iCup would like to share with you the answer through our research on Google:
- In the early 20th century, aluminum was considered the national metal of many countries worldwide with total annual production exceeding 20 million tons. Italy was no exception to this trend – and Bialetti’s creator, Alfonso Bialetti, also chose aluminum as the main metal for the Moka coffee maker. Later, Bialetti diversified its production, but aluminum remained the most used metal.
- The second reason is extremely interesting: Bialetti affirms that using aluminum improves coffee quality. The fascinating aspect of this claim is they say that coffee residue from previous brews will add flavor to subsequent brews. Therefore, you shouldn’t clean the Moka pot too thoroughly. This theory is extremely popular among those who use clay teapots in Vietnam – each different pot only “nurtures” one different type of tea to avoid mixing flavors.
THE BIRTH OF THE BRIKKA MOKA COFFEE MAKER
Having become extremely successful with the Moka Express line, selling quantities reaching nine figures – Bialetti continued to improve their product with the mindset “L’espresso come al bar – Every espresso made at home will be like at a coffee shop.”
At this time, espresso at cafes had developed much further. Large companies like Gaggia had created espresso coffee with higher pressure and thicker crema. You could say the times created Brikka – because without innovation, they would go against their own core philosophy. The Brikka pot certainly didn’t disappoint, continuing to capture the hearts of millions of Italian families and hundreds of millions more families worldwide.
Through various versions, but with one criterion: creating a perfect cup of coffee at home. Brikka 2020 improved the valve to enhance crema even more, can brew more coffee – not forgetting the contemporary philosophies about saving mineral resources and protecting the environment (and of course: increasing annual sales volume :D)
Therefore, we have a new Brikka pot that’s lighter, brews more espresso, no longer has nylon but replaced with paper wrapping… All that needs to be done now is just go find good coffee to drink!
