Appearance history
Brand Bialetti began its existence in 1919. And in 1939, Alfonso Bialeti invented the first coffee maker, working on the geyser principle. She got the name "Moka express".
Initially, this brand specialized in the manufacture and production of various products from aluminum alloy. The inhabitants of Italy very quickly appreciated the invention of their citizen, and later the whole world fell in love with the new unit.
Since then, every year the company has pleased its fans with the release of new models of Italian gas coffee makers of various modifications.
Description and types
It was Bialetti who became the progenitor of all existing geyser coffee makers. This concept includes all similar units, in which coffee is brewed by brewing with water, which passes from the bottom up under a fairly strong pressure.
The coffee maker itself consists of a filter with a funnel, an upper tank for brewed coffee, and a lower compartment for cold water. Under the powerful pressure of steam, water enters the filter with a funnel, washes coffee, completely absorbing its taste and aroma, and then enters the upper compartment, from where it is poured into a mug. As you can see, using such a coffee machine is quite simple. It is only necessary to pour cold water, pour a portion of coffee and turn on the device.
All the types and brands of these coffee machines that exist today differ from their counterparts in a unique stylish design and unusual configuration.
At the moment the company is engaged in the release of kitchen assistants of two types:
- Electric coffee makers, The principle of operation is similar to the operation of an electric kettle.
