Napoletans

Napoletans and electric tipping can

The Napoletaner is a coffee pot with a screwed-on water container and coffee filter and is used to prepare and serve coffee .

functionality

To make coffee you turn the device upside down and fill the water container, screw the filter and the actual jug onto it, the spout of which is now pointing downwards. Then you heat the jug. As soon as the water boils, turn them over and the water drips through the filter.

Simple pitchers of this type were originally very common in Italy. Jugs with an integrated water heater were later created.

Variations

The finely crafted jugs from the end of the 19th century, which were called "Russian Eikanne" or "Potsdamer Boiler", work according to the same principle. A spirit stove heats the jug, which is swiveling on a bracket.

Historical

The rotating jug is said to have been invented in 1819 by a French tin smith named Morize.

In 1979 the Italian architect and designer Riccardo Dalisi (* 1931) designed a Caffettiera napoletana for Alessi . He continued to experiment with this device and was awarded the Compasso d'Oro in 1981. Dalisi, who had his studio in Naples , produced numerous prototypes from tinplate until 1987, which are now in the Alessi Museum and which are shown in design exhibitions all over the world.
