Bialetti Moka Break coffee maker

Bialetti is an iconic Italian brand synonymous with the invention and evolution of the Moka express, which revolutionized home coffee brewing in the 20th century. The 'Moka Break' shown in the image is a specific model designed to provide the classic concentrated Italian coffee experience on a stovetop. The brand is instantly recognizable by the 'L'omino con i baffi' (The Little Man with the Mustache) logo, which has become a symbol of Italian design and domestic culture worldwide.

While the original Moka Express is staunchly celebrated for its 'Made in Italy' status, Bialetti Industrie has expanded its manufacturing footprint over the years. Some specific models or components are produced in Romania or China to manage global supply chains. However, the design, engineering, and the premium identity of the brand remain firmly rooted in its Italian heritage. Ownership has transitioned from the founding family to private equity and industrial groups, ensuring the brand's survival and growth into the modern market of coffee machines and accessories.
