The Loca lets you use expensive coffee pods in your cheap stovetop moka
Luca Veneri’s “Loca” takes the simple, effective and well loved moka coffee pot and modifies to use expensive, wasteful and environmentally questionable coffee pods.
The moka is a classic, and can be found in almost every kitchen across western Europe. I have used one daily for most of my adult life. It’s cheap, easy to use and makes a good, strong faux-spresso.
Podular coffee, on the other hand, uses overpriced single-serve capsules which then need to be recycled. In a machine that delivers a known and exact pressure, they make a great espresso. In the rather more primeval bubbling of a moka, things aren’t so precise.
So the Loca, as Veneri’s design is fittingly named, gives the worst of both worlds: pricy, high-maintenance coffee and an imprecise, low-pressure machine. It does look pretty cool, though.
