How we did coffee in Italy in '30

Hi guys! I had to do it. Yesterday arrived home from a flea market: just a fast clean and let it made her first coffee since at least 70 years.
It's an "Orso coffee maker".

Beautiful film, Lucio! Loved the music.

Essentially a Mokka pot. Looks like it was designed for portable use, perhaps for picnics.

Clearly, the pace of life was more relaxed back then!

Yes, it was an outdoor "sport" coffee maker. Produced in Ferrara from '20 till '30. Before the Moka Bialetti first model.

Great video and music! I love the time / patience / care that went into making that cup of coffee. Clearly it was an important craft back then as it is today and through the years.

Thank you for sharing.
