I grew up drinking coffee in the Dominican Republic for as long as I can remember. To be honest, there was never a moment in my life, aside from pregnancy, where I don’t recall drinking coffee. In Dominican Republic coffee is life, it is intertwined with society, family life, and is the central point of Dominican hospitality.
One could take it anywhere and brew consistent, delicious Coffee every time! Brings back memories of cooking class at Chefs home kitchen. We always began the class with brewing On the Caffettiera- and discussed the menus and recipes. It’s a great morning ritual!
Exactly Aki! I love that! Starting the morning, or anything really, with a caffettiera is the energy boost we all need. It’s a lovely ritual but also makes great coffee.
The Moka is a symbol of Italy. Now that I'm traveling around Europe, I haven’t forgotten to bring my special Moka. After lunch, it's a ritual—whether it's winter or summer. Thank you so much for this very interesting piece.
As a huge moka pot fan here in Italy, I adored reading about it from another cultural pov! Also, today in Chicago, my son and I just happened to eat at a restaurant called ‘cafecito’!
Que rico! What style of Latin American coffee was it?? It’s incredible how a style of brewing coffee has become so ingrained in cultures across the globe. I find it so interesting how it’s an Italian icon but also a Dominican one.
Un cafecito en la terraza de la casa de tu tia que te adora cogiendo fresquito.

Love you!
Lo mejor que hay, ya lo sabes. Love you!
