Kate McKinnon Uses the Same $37 Moka Espresso Pot as Me
Rather than investing in a high-tech coffee maker, shop the $37 Bialetti Moka pot espresso maker beloved by comedian Kate McKinnon.
The Italian brand is known for its excellent espresso (along with the fact that its late founder has his ashes kept in a moka-pot-shaped urn), and in the age of alluring high-tech machines like Nespresso, using a Moka pot is a ritual McKinnon calls “tactile” and reminiscent of camping. While it’s convenient to press a button to be served a hot cup of frothy dark brew, the taste from the manual, low-tech Moka pot is unparalleled. While shopping for your new Moka pot, you might want to also pick up a copy of McKinnon’s recent book release, The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette for Young Ladies of Mad Science.
