As a young boy, Fabio Guggeri’s chores included keeping the family’s stove-top Moka Express coffee pots clean, and ready for use. In a way, he never stopped. Now a 56-year-old IT professional, Guggeri also runs a small Facebook group aimed at “everyone who prefers coffee made with a Moka.”

“All the alternatives to the Moka are designed to make coffee faster or in a more practical way,” Guggeri told Fortune. “But faster and more practical doesn’t always mean better.” Making the highly potent coffee with a stovetop Moka pot is a sensory experience.
