The Story of the Bialetti Moka Express (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

  „The billboards proclaimed: “in casa un espresso come al bar” (“An espresso in the home just like one in the bar.) The little mustached man no longer needed to find his home away from home in the neighborhood coffee bar, but could bring the coffee bar into his own private house. The post-war years saw an economic boom in Italy. The Fascist period was put behind and American influenced values became prevalent.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „The rituals of the new post-modern espresso reveal additional differences from the traditional Italian and Italian-American cuisines. If the small, standup bar is the quintessential Italian setting for espresso cuisine, and the cafe, with tables, chairs, newspapers, and light foods is the typical setting for the Italian-American cuisine, then the espresso cart is the characteristic setting for the Seattle cuisine.“
