The Neapolitan flip coffee pot (Template:Langx or Script error: No such module "Lang"., Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "IPA".) or Script error: No such module "Lang". is a drip brew coffeemaker for the stove top very popular in Italy and France until the 20th century. Unlike a moka express, it does not use the pressure of steam to force the water through the coffee, relying instead on gravity.

History

The Script error: No such module "Lang". was invented in 1819 by Jean-Louis Morize,[1][2] a tinsmith and lampmaker from Paris, France. It was originally constructed out of copper, until 1886, when the material was switched to aluminum. The reason for taking its name from the Italian city of Naples in English is unknown.

The namesake Script error: No such module "Lang". derives from Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning 'copper or terracotta vase'.[3]

Script error: No such module "Lang".

The Script error: No such module "Lang". is a small paper cone (which is used in other ways in Naples, such as holding food) that goes over the spout. This is used to preserve the aroma of the coffee while it drips into the tank, which can take up to 10 minutes or more. To make a Script error: No such module "Lang"., a small piece of paper is folded to create a cone shape. Eduardo De Filippo offers a description of the Script error: No such module "Lang". and the importance of coffee in Naples.[4]

Variants

Some of the finely crafted coffee pots manufactured in the late 19th-century work on the same principle, including the Russian reversible pot aka Russian egg, and the reversible Potsdam cafetière aka Potsdam boiler. Another variant was the Script error: No such module "Lang".[5] (not to be confused with the Script error: No such module "Lang".). A spiritus cooker heats the mounted flippable pot.

Classic designs

Script error: No such module "anchor".Italian Riccardo Dalisi redesigned this classic for Alessi. He began his research in 1979 and earned international attention when his design entered into production in 1987.[6] As they have come back to gain some popularity, ILSA now also makes them in stainless steel.
