"At the core of Turbo Moka's redesign is its helical spiral base, inspired by aircraft turbine geometry. Engineered according to principles of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics, the spiral structure increases the surface area in contact with the flame by 93% compared to a traditional moka pot. This enhancement allows for greater heat capture and more uniform energy distribution during coffee brewing. The configuration also prolongs the contact time between the flame and the boiler, improving thermal efficiency and reducing energy consumption by up to 50%."
"As a result of these refinements, Turbo Moka can brew coffee in approximately half the time of a traditional model while using about 30% less energy. The design represents an evolution of the original concept rather than a departure from it, maintaining the moka's cultural and aesthetic identity while aligning it with contemporary expectations of efficiency and sustainability."
Turbo Moka reinterprets the classic moka pot with a helical spiral base inspired by aircraft turbine geometry, engineered using fluid dynamics and thermodynamics. The spiral increases surface area in contact with the flame by 93%, prolongs flame-boiler contact time, and improves thermal efficiency, cutting energy consumption by up to 50%. The redesign brews coffee in about half the time of a traditional model while using roughly 30% less energy. The moka retains familiar form and cultural identity while adopting material and technical innovations. Entirely produced in Italy from high-grade aluminum and initially offered as a three-cup model.
