Huh. So someone made a percolator that actually does a good job.
Wait this was invented in 1933? Why didn’t America have this before? I’m not old enough to have used a percolator but from what I’ve heard it was heinous.
Moka pots are awesome. Wouldn’t want to make my coffee any other way at home. Has been the standard in Italy since it was invented and is a staple even here in Germany.
Our house has an electric kettle now. Got a cheap one for tea. Then realized even at 120V it’s a million times faster to boil water, especially since our stove is gas.
I did some research on moka pots and they seem interesting if you want a really strong coffee. But decent drip machines do a good job (metal carafes, no hotplates) if you want the more dilute varieties.

Same I use mine every day. Also convenient for road trips and camping. Plus it freed up space on my counter.
It’s 100% just a cultural thing. It just didn’t catch on.
Just like how American households are much less likely to have an electric kettle then a UK household. This fact baffles British people.

I worked in a big box store for 8 years starting in 2013, and we always carried these. I don’t think we sold many, but we always had them around.
