Founded in 1933, Italian brand Bialetti and its very jaunty mascot have brought caffeine to the masses. The Moka pot is synonymous with espresso, though its preparation is different than what we’d think of as espresso. It sits atop your stove, where the flame warms the aluminum base—and when you hear the “gurgle,” you know your espresso is done. They do note that the Moka pot “gurgles,” which is funny. It’s a tactile way to make your coffee, a hands-on process that results in a delicious, smooth cup. The little mustache man logo will be proud of you.
