Turbo Moka, designed by Matteo Frontini !
Originally invented in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti and Luigi De Ponti. While maintaining the recognizable form and function of the classic design, the project introduces significant technical and material innovations aimed at improving energy efficiency and performance.
At the core of Turbo Moka’s redesign is its helical spiral base, inspired by aircraft turbine geometry. Engineered according to principles of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, the spiral structure increases the surface area in contact with the flame by 93% compared to a traditional moka pot.
This enhancement allows for greater heat capture and more uniform energy distribution during coffee brewing.
The configuration also prolongs the contact time between the flame and the boiler, improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy consumption by up to 50%.
As a result of these refinements, Turbo Moka can brew coffee in approximately half the time of a traditional model while using about 30% less energy.
Made from high-grade aluminum, the moka is currently available in a three-cup version, with one-cup and six-cup models planned for release.
