About Multi Cultural Moka Pot Kaffemaskine

I tider med krig og immigration synes forskellene mellem mennesker at være for store til, at man kan acceptere hinanden. Som bekendt er kaffens egentlige superkraft at forbinde mennesker. Dette projekts formål er at tage to rige kulturers ikoniske kaffemaskiner og, på trods af de mange forskelle, fokusere på det fælles mellem dem ved at kombinere den tyrkiske Ibrik og den italienske MokaPot. Forhåbentlig kunne mennesker gøre det samme over kaffe.

Unique Properties: In times of war and immigration, it seems that the differences between men are too big for one to accept the other. As it is known, Coffee's real superpower is connecting people. This project objective is to take two reach culture's coffee makers icons and, despite the many differences, focus on what is common between the two, combining the Turkish Ibrik and the Italian MokaPot. Hopefully, people could do the same over coffee.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 150mm x Depth 100mm x Height 200mm 4 cups.

Production Technology: The technology and materials had a vital part of the concept. It was taken from the Ibrik - most of it was hand-made using metal spinning and silver soldering. Other parts were Laser-cut, 3d printed handle. The materials are copper, brass, and nylon 6:6.
Design Challenge: The chosen method for combining the Ibrik & the MokaPot was taking the MokaPot mechanism and technic with the Ibrik technology and materials, using handmade metal spinning for the main parts binding the copper to be too slim for screwing.
Building and standing the pressure needed for the brewing process was solved with an even easier user experience by just clicking the handle to lock the two parts.
Inspiration: As a coffee addict, I explored coffee history, traditions, and tastes. It occurred to me that each culture has the RIGHT way of making coffee. And each one is based on years of tradition, ritualism even. In the same way that Israel is a melting pot of many cultures, it inspired me to make a melting pot of the coffee cultures and celebrate each culture with a meaningful place in the new design.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2017 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, finished in February 2018 in Tel Aviv and was exhibited in "Baemtsa" group Exhibition in March 2018, Tel Aviv.
Operation Flow: Fill the base with water to just below the level of the safety valve. Insert the funnel. Loosely fill the funnel with espresso medium ground coffee, do not press coffee down. CLICK the top section to the base using the handle. Place the coffeemaker on low to medium heat. Be aware the flame does not extend up the pot's side. It takes only 4 - 6 minutes until it’s ready to serve. Remove immediately from the heat once the coffee pot is full. Enjoy your coffee and appreciate time off, best served with loved ones. Dissemble and hand wash in warm water.
