*The True Story of the Moka Pot*
Behind every cup of coffee made with a Moka pot is a story. But what is the real story?
Hi I’m Mauro Lapetina, a historical researcher with one unusual passion: the Moka pot.
What started as curiosity became years of research in archives, patents, old advertisements, and family memories across Italy.
The Moka isn’t just an object. It’s a piece of Italian daily life, of ingenuity, of post-war homes, of Sunday mornings.
Beyond the legend of Alfonso Bialetti, there are forgotten names, technical innovations, and social changes that shaped how an entire country started drinking coffee at home.
Are you sarebbe that Alfonso Bialetti is the real inventor of the coffeepot?
That research became a book, "LA CAFFETTIERA PERDUTA".
*Written in Italian*, it tells the true history of the Moka pot: who really invented it, how it evolved, and why it became a symbol recognized all over the world.
The website *PUNTO ITALIA STORE* is a space to share documents, curiosities, and stories about Bialetti's world and the book.
Because the history of coffee is also the history of us.
