Here is a beautiful Bialetti Moka Express coffee maker from 1977. Invented in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti, the moka became an icon of "Made in Italy" and famous throughout the world, even being exhibited in the permanent collection of the MoMa in New York. In addition to its particular design, it was the object that revolutionized the way of drinking Italian coffee, also making it a home gesture and no longer just relegated to bars. The peculiarity of this moka is given by the famous "Little man with a moustache", born from the pencil of Paul Campani, drawn on the boiler, which thanks to Carosello (an Italian advertising program broadcast between 1957 and 1977) becomes synonymous with Bialetti. This symbol of Italian design can be used as a decorative object for your home or to be an essential piece of your collection. Dimensions: base diameter —> 10 cm c. height —> 20 cm c. Conditions: good —> the coffee maker has some stains, some lines and some oxidized parts on the surface. The handle is slightly burnt at the bottom and a little crooked (see photo of the handle). The pin on the jug lid moves slightly. As already specified in the description, we recommend using the coffee maker only for decorative purposes given its condition and wear over time. Please note that depending on the light and lighting conditions, the color of the object may slightly differ from the original one.
