Background and Identification
Bialetti is an iconic Italian brand known for its high-quality coffee makers, particularly the Moka pot, which has become synonymous with Italian coffee culture. Founded in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti, the company revolutionized home brewing by creating the Moka Express, a stovetop espresso maker that quickly gained popularity for its simplicity and efficiency. Over the decades, Bialetti has expanded its product line to include various other coffee makers, such as electric coffee machines and espresso machines.
Bialetti coffee makers are easily recognizable by their distinctive design, often featuring a polished aluminum body with a hexagonal shape. The Moka pot, in particular, is renowned for its octagonal design, a hallmark of the brand. These coffee makers are typically identified by the Bialetti logo, which features the company name along with the image of "L’omino con i baffi" (the little man with the mustache), a character that has been a part of the brand's identity since the 1950s.
