The founder of Billetti was Alfonso Bialetti, who in 1933 invented the use of steam pressure to extract coffee, the world's first Moka pot. Nowadays, regardless of the material used, all the vessels used to extract coffee by steam pressure are collectively referred to as Moka pots. The Moka pot is so loved by the Italian people that nearly 90% of the local households own a Billetti coffee pot, which shows the importance of the Moka pot in this espresso-loving country.
As one of the most classic coffee pots, the Moka pot is based on the principle of pressurizing the flow of water through the ground coffee to increase the extraction rate and extract a strong cup of coffee in a very short time, suitable for dark roasted coffee beans, and it is the only coffee pot that can make a concentrated taste. The lowest price of Billetti's classic octagonal Moka pot is about 300 yuan, and there are 1-18 cups of different specifications to choose from. On the basis of the classic octagonal Moka pot, Billetti has launched an all-stainless steel Moka pot, which can be used with an induction cooker, which is easier to clean, and the price is about 400 yuan.
The Bileti Moka pot is available in single and double valve, with the double valve using a pressurized cap to extract more oil at a higher pressure, and this espresso is more suitable for latte art. In terms of the taste of espresso alone, most people still prefer the classic style, which is also the reason why the octagonal single-valve Moka pot has endured for a long time.
In addition to the classic Moka pot production, the price of Billetti's French press is about 200 yuan, and the glass bottle body has a brewing scale and a stainless steel frame, which is simple and beautiful, and it is a decent French press.
