This is a review based on my personal experience using and styling the product, which was provided through the #오감리뷰 program. I tried using the Bialetti Moka Express 2-Cup model. I love coffee so much that I can't live without it, so I chose this product out of curiosity to see what coffee brewed with the Moka Express would taste like. This was my first time using the Moka Express, and unlike hand drip or coffee machines, waiting for the coffee to rise over the heat is fun in itself. It gave me a unique feeling with its vintage and analog vibe. The design is also really beautiful; as the Bialetti Moka Express is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, it is a coffee maker with a symbolic history. I actually saw this product on display when I visited MoMA in New York, and I think the design was ahead of its time, as the current model is not much different from the 1933 design. The size is just right for brewing about two cups, and since it isn't too big, it seems convenient to use and carry around. The usage is also simpler than I expected. Just fill it with water, add the coffee, and boil it—that's it. I also liked that I could create variations of various drinks, such as Americano and Latte.
