About Multi Cultural Moka Pot Kaffivél

Á tímum stríðs og fólksflutnings virðist munurinn á fólki vera of mikill til að geta sætt sig við hvort annað. Eins og kunnugt er, er raunverulegur yfurkraftur kaffis að tengja fólk saman. Markmið verkefnisins er að taka tvær táknrænar kaffivélar úr ríkum menningarheimum og, þrátt fyrir margvíslegan mun, einbeita sér að því sem er sameiginlegt með því að sameina tyrkneska Ibrik-pottinn og ítalska Moka-pottinn. Vonandi geti fólk gert slíkt hið sama yfir kaffi.

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.

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.
