Largest Moka Pot


During the 'Dolomiti record show', one of Italy’s most famous chocolatiers, Mirco Della Vecchia  has unveiled a 1.1 meter high, 1,78m base circumference, Moka pot made of Aluminum which sets the new world record for the Largest Moka Pot. The Moka pot could serve as much as 1000 cups of Moka coffee in 45 minutes using 78 liters of water and 1 pound of coffee.
The previous world record for the largest moka pot was a 1 meter high, 90 cm base circumference Moka pot made in Bosnia Herzegovina back in 2004.
   The moka pot, also known as a cafeteria or macchinetta (popular; literally "small machine"), is a stove top espresso coffee maker, based on the principle of preparing coffee with steam pressurized water. 

   The moka pot is most commonly used in Europe, and has become known as an iconic design, displayed in modern industrial art museums, such as the Science Museum in London. 

   Mokas come in different sizes, from one to eighteen 50 ml cups. The original design was made from aluminum with Bakelite handles. Mirco  Della Vecchia has been an ace chocolate craftsman and an expert Italian cook   and has been riding high on success since 2008.  He has founded a fine   chocolate organization and also holds the post of the president of NAC National Food. Mirco along with a team of artists   had also created the largest chocolate sculpture   which is a  white chocolate replica of the Dome of Milan which is 1.5 meters tall, 2.5 meters long and weighed and impressive 5.37 tons. 
The Largest Moka Pot   measured 101 meter in height, 1,78 meters base circumference was set by Mirco Della Vecchia during the Dolomiti record Show at Seren  Del Grappa, Italy on June 10, 2010
