COCCAGLIO, ITALY (August, 2005) — Bialetti has done it again.  The company that revolutionized home coffee-brewing in Italy in 1933 with the invention of the iconic Moka Express, now makes it possible to brew barista-quality cappuccinos and café lattes right on the stovetop.  The first-of-its-kind Mukka Express has already been met with wild enthusiasm in Europe, and is now available in the American marketplace.

While the function of the Mukka Express employs the decades-old tradition of stovetop brewing, the top portion of the pot is filled with milk so that as the espresso enters the top chamber, it mixes with the steamed milk and within minutes 2-cups of rich, aromatic cappuccino are brewed and ready to serve.  

Characterized by its sleek, contemporary design, the Mukka Express is available in a trendy black and white cow print design or an elegant polished aluminum, for a suggested retail price of $89.99.
