4.618 HBDA design icon
The world is full of examples of good and functional designs, but my selection is limited to one that is an indispensable part of my life, and I dare say that it is also an indispensable part of a great number of people's lives.  The device is of Italian origin and emerged in the first half of the last century, breaking with the stereotypes established at that time. Here I leave this [link](https://www.seriouseats.com/moka-pot-history-coffee-maker-italian-caffetiera) if you want to know about its history. Its design remains almost unchanged to this day, but that's what happens with good designs, they don't need to change... they are perfect. The principle of its operation is simple physics applied in an extraordinary way. Its elegant, simple design and proven functionality for nearly a century have undoubtedly made it an international icon. Unfortunately, I don't have an Italian-made "Bialetti Moka Express" at home; mine is a Chinese copy of the famous and perfect coffee pot. However, the coffee we brew in it is perfect for flavoring our lives, and the distinctive sound it makes when it finishes brewing is music we hear several times a day.  Please come, sit down, I'd like to invite you to a good cup of Cuban "Criollo" coffee, freshly brewed in a perfect "Italian coffee pot".  ___ ___ > <sub>The images and text are my own.
