Though design is important, little rituals can completely change the way you experience your kitchen. That's why Kate McKinnon starts her mornings with an espresso. She always makes it in her Bialetti Moka Express Stovetop Espresso Maker.
The comedian shared her advice on the best moka pot with The Strategist. She explained: 'This is a small stovetop espresso machine that was introduced to me by my best friend, Alexandra Carillo-Vaccino, who is obsessed with Italian things and sort of homespun, natural ways of doing things. When I use it, I feel like I am using a camping stove or something. It’s like I’m in the 1940s and only making what I need and doing it in a way that takes a lot of time and effort. So I really cherish the little splash of espresso that comes out. It’s actually more than a little splash; it’s probably two shots of espresso. But there’s something about the tactile nature of it: just water, fire, and coffee beans ground to a fine powder, and then, a minute later, there you are.'
