The man who made the Italian coffee pot famous has just been buried in one


Renato Bialetti, who made stove-top espresso makers an international commodity, passed away last week - and his memorable funeral saw him buried in one of his famous pots.


Bialetti’s father Alfonso bought the patent for the aluminium design in 1933, but it was Renato who got the business going - he invested heavily in marketing and made himself the model for the famous L’omino con i baffi (the little man with a moustache) who still adorns each Moka pot today.


More than 300 million of the coffee makers have been sold around the world since the 1940s.

Lavorate la ricotta con 300 g di zucchero, i semi di mezzo baccello di vaniglia e qualche goccia di acqua di fior d’arancio per renderla cremosa; incorporate il cioccolato sminuzzato, 50 g di pistacchi tritati grossolanamente e i canditi misti a dadini (ripieno). Foderate una tortiera con la pellicola.
