I think I am probably the only person who knew what the device was for, but no clue how it worked. Thanks for the detailed information once again Caroline.😊😊😊
Had that problem when I moved into a shared flat in Glasgow in the 80’s and found we had one in the kitchen a previous resident had left. Actually thought we were doing it wrong cos the coffee tasted so strong. If only we had this video back then!
Excellent video! I have a whole 'family' Bialetti pots back in the States. From a one-cupper to a 12 cupper. The pot she's demonstrating looks like a 12 cupper. Her Italian sounds Molto bene, but she still seems to say 'expresso' instead of 'espresso'! Could be my 80 year old ears, however.
I have been using one of these coffee maker for over 3 decades now (I’m 56). I use mine for espresso and cafe cubano and to make the occasional cup of regular coffee. Thanks for letting me know the history.
I have an older Moka pot. It’s originally from Italy where my sister bought it on one of her trips .Guessing that it’s forty years ago when it came to this country.We have never used it but it has been used.The black handle is quite different from the one Caroline sells.
The origin of coffee is Ethiopia, Keffa region , where the name coffee is derived from. Ethiopia has coffee ceremony ☕️ Ethiopians buy green coffee beans & roast it at home,…it’s very interesting. And the coffee is amazing ☕️❤️
It's not just about aesthetics and nostalgia, but also their functionality, those pots are very popular among the working class in Brazil, where heating stoves with liquefied petrol gas is way cheaper than electric heating, and some places don't even have access to the electric grid, which makes them the only reliable tool to make good coffee.
I love my Moki - as we call it in Brooklyn - and have 2 sizes. I also have my great-aunt’s little, old coffee pot that is a predecessor of some kind to the Bialetti Moka. You prepare everything in the same way, but when the water boils you have to flip it upside-down since it cannot defy gravity…man, does coffee made in that old pot taste good! But the Moki is so much easier and tastes just as amazing, so it’s definitely my go-to for an espresso or cappuccino!!! Thank you for the fun video!!!
I don't even drink coffee and I now want one of these. Enchanting, educational, and entertaining... I can't believe I'm now subscribed to a retailer's channel, but this ep converted me.
Black woman here who grew up around Italians. Stove top percolator stuffed with too many coffee grounds at my house and moka pots at my friends' houses. Let's just say our parents were into actual and de facto espresso before it was cool. LOL. Miss 'em all!
This Mokka pot also does make the BEST coffee. So its existence in this way is absolutely justified. Also, you can make coffee everywhere with this thing. Fire. Gas. Electro. Induction. At home. Camping in the woods.
It's funny, I havnt watched your videos for a while and then all of a sudden, your video pops up on my feed today, and crazy thing you're talking about my favorite way to make coffee. 2 of my favorite things in one video.
Brilliant! I use a Moka pot. Thought I was the only one who appreciates it. I also use a French Press but I’ll wait for your video on that. You are charming. I’m going to add you to my Favorites list. 😘
Cool tip, pour the first bit of brew in your cup with the sugar and wisk that shit until it looks light maroon and is creamy. The pour the rest of your coffee on top and enjoy the creamiest espresso ❤
This was amazing. I loved this video and you are so funny as well! I learned so much about my beloved espresso pot. I used make my Dad espresso every day when I was old enough to do so. Nostalgia at it’s best. Kudos to you for a FABULOUS SEGMENT!!!!!
Love this series! Can y'all do an episode on Bay Windows? I guess it's not really an object…I love my bay windows, and I'm wondering if the name has anything with the fact that I'm in San Francisco and they're so common here…Bay Area and all
I really like the video but I do have one comment. It's not just the nostalgia, it's also the type of coffee it makes. It is between normal coffee and espresso in terms of strength. When I make iced coffee, I get the best results with the moka pot. But good technique is very important! What is important is that you should not let the water boil too quickly. The coffee should come out of the spout as slowly as possible. This gives you a fuller and rounder taste. If you want to drink this warm, you can add warm water to taste. What I do is pour it over ice cubes to make me iced coffee.
I’m a fan of the moka pot and use one regularly. However, I also use an AeroPress, which also has a cult following but is a more modern take on homemade “espresso”, or Americano. The Americano was discovered when Americans G.I.s in Italy circa WW II found the brew from a Moka pot to be stronger than they were used to so hot water was added to tame the brew.
My Nostalgia Coffee Culture revolves around the Pyrex Percolator, which is older tech than the Moka Pot. And no one practically knows the proper manner to use one (hint it has to do with not letting the coffee boil in the pot but rather to let it steam the coffee over 15 or more minutes).
The simple pragmatic truth for my case is that I just couldn't find any better way to effectively cost-efficiently brew good coffee. Even after extensive analysis and research and empirical testing I found nothing close to to ratio of moka pot regarding flavour profile, ease-of-maintenance, time egficiency and cleaning (basically zero-wastw: no disposable filters and no soap) - in this order.
I’ve made coffee with this every morning for… my whole life? … and I NEVER knew it originally came from Italy! 😂 I’m Dominican and we call it “la Greca” and this is just what they do in the DR.
Anyone who now NEEDS one of those (totally understandable!) and doesn't have one yet: I got mine second hand and just replaced the flat rubber ring that lies flush on the inside to seal the pot (those can be bought separately).
*Environmentally Friendly* . I'm no Eco-Warrior but I have never owned a K-cup, Nespresso or any coffee device that requires plastic pods. I'm on my second Black and Decker Brew and Go. Yes, I have a Moka pot for back up.
I bought a French press once, thinking it would provide me with a dreamy, enriching experience. All I got was a mouthful of nasty coffee grounds. It looks nice a the shelf, at least. I must stick with the filtered versions.
Did you grind the beans with the right setting? Sounds like the ground coffee was too fine, cause it shouldn't go through the filter/strainer and be in your coffee 🥴
I’m new here … enjoyed the content going to get one but I’m not going to lie, I thighs she was going to make Cuban coffee. 😊 a cortadito … thank you for the history class
The origin of coffee is Yemen for thousands Of years, and the city Of Mocha has a picturesque nature that produces Yemeni coffee .and the port of Moca exports coffee to all of the world 🌎 .Yemeni coffee has the original taste 👅 and and delicious Of coffee in one Dutch man who took the original coffee seeds from Yemen 🇾🇪 and tried to Implanted the seeds of coffee in many countries, the only country that succeeded .

Plus 10 points for the manipulative puppy Minus 10 points for Caroline not actually having any teeny tiny coffee cups. Unless the one she gestured to was indeed a teeny tiny espresso sized cup and Caroline is just so small that it looks like a regular cup.
What’s your favorite accompaniment to a cup of coffee? A flakey croissant, a chewy bagel, a frozen waffle? Let us know!
coffee!
(but of course!)
Quiet and NO Conversation until I've finished my first cup. 🙂
Tiramisu!
Sourdough toast
cannoli (So good you cannoli imagine) 😉
Absolutely one of my favorite eps in this series 💕 shout out to all the beloved caffeine addicts
This has been in my culture since it was born, we call it the Greca, and it it’s the best coffee that no expensive machine can beat! 😊
Cheers! * slurping away *
Wayfair was pretty dang smart to bring you on board - love these episodes; especially this one ☕ ...
I love when you speak Italian! I’ve been obsessed with Italy for years
Everything Caroline touches is golden, including this enchanting episode! We love u, Caroline 🥰❤☕
Caroline is totally brill❣️❣️❣️ Wayfair couldn't have chosen anyone better for this series!!
I’ll watch anything by Caroline…and now i want a moka pot!
right!?
Amazon!
I think I am probably the only person who knew what the device was for, but no clue how it worked. Thanks for the detailed information once again Caroline.😊😊😊
Had that problem when I moved into a shared flat in Glasgow in the 80’s and found we had one in the kitchen a previous resident had left. Actually thought we were doing it wrong cos the coffee tasted so strong. If only we had this video back then!
I love her presentation.
👍👍 I used mine just this morning 😃! Not a vintage model but, 100%, the entire process and ritual of this method Brings Me Joy 💜👍
I remember that commercial…yes I’m that old and your Italian is very good.

I don't have a real one of these pots in my collection (yet), but I have a miniature version that's one inch tall, and it's adorable.
Just today finished watching all of Caroline's series here . bring it on ☕
Got hooked on this little extra strong coffee method living in key west. Didn’t know it’s Italian origin. Thank you!
You have THE best videos on RUclips, Caroline!
I was just gifted a Moka Pot from some friends who went to Italy. Thanks for getting me in the vibe! 👐

Ti vogliamo bene, Caroline! Andiamo al bar.
Italian on point! And I'll listen to Caroline talking pretty much about any subject ❤
I knew you were going to do this one Caroline. I simply am so pleased!
My little orange Bialetti is my favourite thing in kitchen, it's ADORABLE.
I love my Moki - as we call it in Brooklyn - and have 2 sizes. I also have my great-aunt’s little, old coffee pot that is a predecessor of some kind to the Bialetti Moka.

Love this series - and I'm finding Wayfair in a new way :-) Thank you Wayfair.

I've been obsessed with making Cafe Lecesse at home in the UK since Caroline's Puglia video this summer...❤
Loved it! I have a three-shot Moka pot that I love so much that I take it on holidays with me if I'm driving.
Amazing video and your italian is wonderful...So now we know you have a gift for languages too!! Bravissima ragazza!!👏🏻👏🏻☕️☕️ ❤
A French press, coffee maker, and Italian roast is my favorite
This Mokka pot also does make the BEST coffee. So its existence in this way is absolutely justified.
Also, you can make coffee everywhere with this thing. Fire. Gas. Electro. Induction. At home. Camping in the woods.
Another interesting and fun video from Caroline. 😊

I have a bialetti moka pot and love it. Thanks for sharing the background history of it!
This green on you, Caroline, this green!!
❤❤❤
add this to the list of things caroline winkler influenced me to buy. the first was peel and stick wallpaper
I have two of those and would never cheat on them. Best espresso coffee ever‼️‼️‼️
Randomly ended up on this video and it made me feel good! Now I want one!
LOVE! My Mom has one of these from 1962, I think... Amazing.
"Mmm...coffee mud." Now I have to dig through my cupboards and pray I still have mine. Cuz I'm feeling oddly nostalgic.
Love this series! Can y'all do an episode on Bay Windows? I guess it's not really an object…I love my bay windows, and I'm wondering if the name has anything with the fact that I'm in San Francisco and they're so common here…Bay Area and all
I have an Imusa mocha pot. It's hard anodized = no mold. Best part? 12$ new in the box at a thrift store.
Loved this video. Makes me want to buy a Moka Pot.
I really like the video but I do have one comment.
It's not just the nostalgia, it's also the type of coffee it makes. It is between normal coffee and espresso in terms of strength.

💚🇪🇹❤️ Ethiopia “Coffee Ceremony” was the inspiration of Italian Espresso/Cappuccino making addiction/contribution.
Moka Pot is now on my shopping list 😏
2nd attempt 😂: I’ve had a Moka pot for years and have a mini Moka pot. Love them.
great vid! I arrived here with a recommendation from Dami Lee
I’m a fan of the moka pot and use one regularly. However, I also use an AeroPress, which also has a cult following but is a more modern take on homemade “espresso”, or Americano.

My grandparents worked in the Bialetti factory and they met there...the factory is located in Crusinallo
What a cool story - thanks for sharing!
Great as always!
I remember my grandmother having that I’m not sure if it was the same brand, but it was the same shape and concept
I have my grandparents' pot. Works great despite being 50 years old.
1:05 literally me
Caroline talking about coffee IN ITALIAN with physics references? Dear lord yes.
Drinking a cup of coffee made in a moka pot while watching this video.
I love our mocha pot.
Delightful video. You mare me brew a cup 😅
I have a two-person mini Bialetti!
I like my coffee with anything , or with cake, cookie,sweet bread, piece of pie or just by itself, Thank you.
Have a good night.
Wow your Italian pronunciation is SO good!!!
I love her accent
My Nostalgia Coffee Culture revolves around the Pyrex Percolator, which is older tech than the Moka Pot. And no one practically knows the proper manner to use one (hint it has to do with not letting the coffee boil in the pot but rather to let it steam the coffee over 15 or more minutes).
Love this section
Lived in Italy for 7 yrs! We would travel 30 minutes vis subways to get the perfect bean!
It really is the best tasting coffee there is. If you don't have a gas stove, I can highly recommend an electric version of this. Ti amo Italia!
Very entertaining. New subscriber. :)
❤ coffee vids and Caroline 😊
Lei sei una Donna molto bella ☕️ ❤
Bravissima!
What’s the difference between this and just a regular old percolator? Or is this just the OG brand name and a percolator is just the generic term?
The simple pragmatic truth for my case is that I just couldn't find any better way to effectively cost-efficiently brew good coffee. Even after extensive analysis and research and empirical testing I found nothing close to to ratio of moka pot regarding flavour profile, ease-of-maintenance, time egficiency and cleaning (basically zero-wastw: no disposable filters and no soap) - in this order.
I’ve made coffee with this every morning for… my whole life? … and I NEVER knew it originally came from Italy! 😂 I’m Dominican and we call it “la Greca” and this is just what they do in the DR.
Oat! It's Oat!
I have a Moka Pot, but I rarely use it -- call me a heretic, but I'm a drip coffee fan. Black, unsweetened.
Caroline have you read Cultish? I bet you'd love it!
Anyone who now NEEDS one of those (totally understandable!) and doesn't have one yet: I got mine second hand and just replaced the flat rubber ring that lies flush on the inside to seal the pot (those can be bought separately).
How about Moka pot vs coffee presser. Is the taste the same. Seems to be easier to use a coffee press or Vietnamese coffee dripper.
*Environmentally Friendly* . I'm no Eco-Warrior but I have never owned a K-cup, Nespresso or any coffee device that requires plastic pods. I'm on my second Black and Decker Brew and Go. Yes, I have a Moka pot for back up.

@@abigailmarston7380 I used store bought coffee. It was 15+ years ago.
Is Moka, Yemen where we get the word "mocha"?
Question Caroline ,… how kind did it take you to film this very interesting video ?❤
I’m new here … enjoyed the content going to get one but I’m not going to lie, I thighs she was going to make Cuban coffee. 😊 a cortadito … thank you for the history class
My Mika Pot is arriving 2 October.
I wish this one was longer. What happened next? How did other countries start to adopt this iconic object?
You are looking more beautiful day by day 🌹
She looks like the princess of wales
I loved my coffee pot before this episode and now... I might leave my wife for it.
I’ve had a Mika
☕️
Yemen no less, Arabica primo moka java!
👋i knew you spoke italian❤❤❤❤
it's kind of weird being a person that doesn't drink coffee, ngl.
I can't stand the stuff. Though sometimes I make my tea so strong it could be mistaken for coffee...

My moka pot makes the best coffee ever
Just curious are you a family member of Henry Winkler the actor
Plus 10 points for the manipulative puppy
Minus 10 points for Caroline not actually having any teeny tiny coffee cups. Unless the one she gestured to was indeed a teeny tiny espresso sized cup and Caroline is just so small that it looks like a regular cup.
