Before the moka, which has speeded up the preparation of coffee, the famous black drink was prepared with the Neapolitan coffee pot, first made of copper and then of steel or aluminium. The method of preparation is not very different from that of filter coffee, but a series of particularities make it a unique product of its kind.

NEAPOLITAN COFFEE POT 6 CUPS IN ALUMINIUM

The Neapolitan is a type of coffee maker that, unlike the mocha, does not use the pressure generated by steam to push the water towards the coffee, but only the force of gravity. How to use the Neapolitan coffee maker It is necessary to explain in detail the use of this coffee maker because, as we said, it requires a different procedure compared to the now common coffee makers. The main reason is that the cuccumella is formed by different elements that are: the hollow tank where you put the coffee powder, the perforated tank that holds the water and the hollow tank, the coffee filter to be screwed on top of the hollow tank, the coffee pot from which the ready coffee comes out and the lid.

The procedure then consists of the following steps:

1) Fill the hollow tank with coffee powder, reaching the indicated limit and without crushing the powder.

2) Screw the filter on top of the tank.

3) Fill the perforated tank with water, always up to the indicated limit.

4) Insert the hollow tank into the perforated tank.

5) Add the body with the cap and screw in.

6) Place on the side with the water tank.

7) When the water starts coming out of the hole in the tank, turn off the flame and turn the Neapolitan coffee maker. To perform this operation it is important to have a firm grip, protect yourself with potholders to avoid burning yourself and turn the cuccumella upside down in one go.

8) Check the coffee tank and when there is no more water, unscrew the other tank, place the lid on it and pour the coffee.

Il fascicolo di febbraio-marzo 2014 è dedicato al Cic show, l’esposizione tenutasi a Milano lo scorso dicembre nella quale oltre ottanta knifemakers hanno esibito i loro pezzi, affascinando e attirando i desideri del migliaio di visitatori della mostra.

Nella cover story rivolgiamo la nostra attenzione a Fabrizio Silvestrelli (in arte Silvester), il coltellinaio bresciano che da ormai 20 anni si è specializzato nella realizzazione di coltelli artigianali che colpiscono per la bellezza delle forme, la precisione delle lavorazioni e l’accostamento dei materiali.

Nel mondo custom troviamo anche l’eclettica produzione di Mauro Bonassi, da poco maestro della Corporazione italiana coltellinai, e quella del giovane sardo Davide Steri che è riuscito, attraverso le sue creazioni, a unire sperimentazione e tradizione.

In questo numero potete trovare il reportage sul simposio delle tecniche di forgiatura tenutosi nella suggestiva cornice del maglio di Pagnano d’Asolo, organizzato dal laboratorio La Britola di Valdobbiadene.

Inoltre Coltelli recencisce le lame (in particolare i modelli TSP, TS-1, FM-1, NAV-H e NAV-T) della Medford, coltelli militari prodotti in piccola tiratura negli Usa e i modelli Sierra Foxtrott II e III della Boker, due nuove lame fisse d’impostazione militare che appartengono alla linea Magnum e che offrono un rapporto qualità prezzo davvero inaspettato. Una novità di importazione Tecnocut sono le penne tattiche: oltre a essere accattivanti e ben realizzate, possono contare su un prezzo davvero interessante. Infine una vera chicca. Beretta non significa solo armi da fuoco: la storica Casa gardonese ha a listino un’ampia varietà di coltelli, dall’utility alle lame di pregio da abbinare a un fucile di prestigio disegnate da knifemaker di fama come Silvester (sì, proprio lui, il protagonista della nostra cover story).
