Stella Napoletana by Stella Stainless steel, 3-cup Condition: There are some minor scratches and stains, but nothing noticeable, and it is in good condition. The box and instruction manual are also included. Description: The Napoletana's unique structure allows for "steeping," which draws out the original flavor of the coffee beans. This steeping effect infuses the coffee, resulting in a mellow and easy-to-drink cup with less bitterness. Boil water in the lower pot, and the steam produced will steep the coffee grounds in the upper part. Unlike typical espresso makers, this one doesn't use consumables like rubber gaskets. Furthermore, this model is made entirely of stainless steel, with no resin parts on the handle, making it a tool that can last almost indefinitely. 3-cup refers to the size using small demitasse cups for espresso. ● From an explanatory website: A "Caffè Napoletana" is a general term for a drip coffee maker that has been used in the Naples region of Italy for a long time. Before the "Moka pot," a stovetop espresso maker, was popularized by Bialetti, the Napoletana was the mainstream coffee maker in Italy. However, as times changed, the trend shifted towards the Moka pot, which could brew coffee more quickly and suited the preferences of Italians who preferred stronger coffee. Nevertheless, the Napoletana's enduring popularity never waned. Many Italians still enjoy coffee time with a Napoletana on weekends. It has gained immense support among discerning Italians who want to savor the original flavor of coffee, rather than just pursuing bitterness and speed.
