The Neapolitan Coffee Maker

That transition at the beginning🤌

Jean-Louis Morize is not precisely the inventor of that principle, he just revisited the invention of Jean-Baptiste-Louis-Marie Sené, another french tinsmith from Paris who presented his invention 4 years earlier (in 1815, take a closer look at Ascenseur pour l’expresso, episode 3).

Wow, that transition with catching the coffee maker is priceless, ten out of ten if I had the right to judge.

The editing in these vids dont get as much credit as much as it should get

Thanks for resolving a family mistery. I’m Hungarian and my grandpa (who was deployed to Italy during WW2) kept talking about “nápolyi”/napolitaner coffee. To better understand why it was a mistery for us kids: nápolyi/napolitaner in Hungary means wafer with filling, like Loacker. So a napolitaner coffee without knowing of this brewer is meaningless/out of context. Also in a lot of families including ours, usually the younger ones were preparing the moka pot (filling with water and filling the basket with coffee and older ones were allowed to grind coffee, strictly with a blade grinder), so everytime we visited him he was saying he wanted a “nápolyi kávé” but his “mokapot” broke a long time ago and couldn’t get parts for it and this moka pot is different because you don’t have to flip it around. My dad kept telling him that kind of brewer doesn’t exist (in east europe until 1990 you could mainly buy bialetti/alessi recasts google “szarvasi kotyogós) and parts were only available for these. It was pre internet ~1992~97 and then i just stored this memory until i watched this video and it just started to make sense.

we NEED an episode on arabic/turkish coffee, it's one of the original brew methods after the ethiopian style (for obvious reasons) and relatively unchanged for hundreds of years and super delicious. I'm lebanese so I make mine with a very dark roast, a little bit of sugar in the water, and boil the water with cardamom and cinnamon before adding the coffee to about 50-60 C water

James Hoffman: talks about 4 mins long Neopolitan monologue in a film Me : that’s ridiculously long! (While watching James’ 15 mins monologue) 😂❤ But seriously tho, I can listen to his coffee monologue for hours and hours

This is the little coffee pot my mom would take out when serving "demitasse," as she called it. She would buy imported Italian coffee for it. This was only served with company, after the table was cleared and the talk would come out. Oddly, it was in Italian restaurants, when after dinner we would have "espresso." My father would show mw how to gently drop my sugar cube in to the cup and rub a bit of lemon rind on the rim. And then he’d let me have a sip from his little glass of anisette. I’m in my 60s now, and my father is long gone, but this episode brought back so many fond memories of good food and aromas and my father teaching me how to enjoy a lovely espresso. Good memories. Thank you.

I'm so glad the Bripe is still in frame in the new studio

The transition at 0:16 was so insanely satisfying
