The attention to detain and
workmanship that is entirely made in Florence have become prerequisites
for the entire Mazzuoli production. The 15 components that make up the
MOKA pen are made and assembled with care and passion with the desire to
reach the maximum quality standard. Each MOKA pen comes in a beautiful
gift box.
"In my grandmother's huge but minimally decorated kitchen there were
four or five different size espresso-makers hanging on a wall above a
shelf. They were the only decorative elements in the kitchen and I had
never seen my grandmother make coffee with them. She polished them every
day. This was in the 1950's, the time in which the Moka, designed and
produced by Alfonso Bialetti in 1930, started to become well known all
over the world. It reached places in the world where uses and customs
regarding beverages were completely different than ours (in Italy) and
it was used as a decorative accessory just like my grandmother had done.
I too see this everyday object made up of two containers that screw
into each other as a masterpiece of design. Nothing is more difficult to
design than simplicity and I wanted to dedicate a writing instrument to
this jewel of design that is more than eighty years old now." -Giuliano
