Cappucino Maker

Alfonso Bialetti introduced the concept of stovetop espresso maker and the stovetop cappuccino maker. This began after he went home to his native home in Italy from France. He worked in an aluminium industry. He then set up a small workshop manufacturing metal for household machines and equipment.

Ironically, the original concept of the stovetop was mainly from a washing machine. He was intensely observing the Crusinallo women washing their clothes using a sealed boiler. Attached to it was a small central pipe. Water with soap was sucked in from the bottom of the machine and dispensed it over the laundry. The procedure of the washing machine inspired Bialletti and applied it to a simple coffee maker. He developed his original concept of a local coffee maker where coffee lovers can easily make their beverages. They do not need to go to expensive coffee shops to take a sip of rich coffee. Today, Italians enjoy authentic espresso right in their very homes because of the Bialletti’s invention.

The simple coffee maker evolved and developed into different models. Especially made stovetop cappuccino makers are made of high quality aluminium. Italy is rich in bauxite or aluminium ore and is in fact the national metal of the country.

The machine was completely developed only in 1933. The popular silver coffee device picked up its popularity when a great number of Italian homes acquired it. It is easy to use them. Dispensing your own beverage is like having a drinker’s bar inside the house.

Later on, several companies copied the concept of Bialleti’s cappuccino maker and engineered their own features. Though they vary in appearance, these machines are commonly made of aluminium. The remains of the coffee brewed in the machine taints at the side of the metal. It basically adds up to the flavouring of the next brewing process. Several users recommend that those who own the maker need not to wash the coffee maker thoroughly to make the taste richer.

For more or less seventy years in the market, stovetop cappuccino maker has deeply penetrated into the lifestyles of serious coffee drinkers. Bialletti, himself, is still the top manufacturer of the local coffee maker. His principle of “in casa un espresso come al bar” never fail to touch customers. He also unceasingly keeps on developing newest models and technologies. He created countless other stovetop espresso maker models. Customers can enjoy different features and designs that perfectly suits their needs and desires.

The stovetop cappuccino makers are best helpers in the home especially when close family and friends give surprise visits. The easy to use device comes in handy for small parties.
