About Multi Cultural Moka Pot 咖啡壶

在战争和移民时期，人与人之间的差异似乎大到难以相互接纳。众所周知，咖啡真正的超能力在于连接人们。本项目旨在选取两种源自丰富文化的标志性咖啡壶，摒弃诸多差异，专注于两者的共同之处，将土耳其伊布里克壶与意式摩卡壶相结合。希望人们也能在共享咖啡时做到这一点。

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.
