Dos bellezas antiguas [Two vintage beauties ]

Hola amantes del café. Recientemente vi en dos casas de acá de La Habana, Cuba, mi ciudad, dos modelos antiguos de cafeteras y me gustaría mostrárselos.

Hello coffee lovers. I recently saw two old models of coffee makers in two houses here in Havana, Cuba, my city, and I would like to show them to you.

La primera imagen pertenece a una de las primeras ediciones de una cafetera de la marca Cafetera Atómica. Esta maravilla fue diseñada en 1946 por Giordano Robbiati en Milán, Italia. Esta cafetera cuenta con un por el cual se vierte el agua, una manija donde se coloca el café molido y un brazo por donde pasa el vapor.

The first image belongs to one of the first editions of a Cafetera Atomica brand coffee maker. This marvel was designed in 1946 by Giordano Robbiati in Milan, Italy. This coffee maker has a hole through which the water is poured, a handle where the ground coffee is placed, and an arm through which the steam passes.

El siguiente modelo era el antiguamente más usado en Cuba. De hecho, en mi casa se utilizó hasta hace pocos años. Este modelo utiliza el principio del filtrado. El café previamente molido se deposita en una gasa (tela con pequeños orificios) y se vierte agua muy caliente sobre el polvo, cayendo en un recipiente arrastrando consigo el sabor y olor del café.

The following model was the most used in Cuba in the past. In fact, it was used in my house until a few years ago. This model uses the principle of filtering. The previously ground coffee is placed in cheesecloth (cloth with small holes) and very hot water is poured over the powder, falling into a container, dragging with it the flavor and smell of the coffee.


Este ejemplar de la cafetera anteriormente mencionada pertenece a la abuela de mi novia (@dianegr) pero le falta la tela y ya no se usa.

This copy of the aforementioned coffee maker belongs to my girlfriend's grandmother (@dianegr) but the fabric is missing and it is no longer used.

En Cuba actualmente usamos para preparar el café (bebida casi de carácter obligatorio en el 99% de nuestros hogares) la cafetera italia o moka. Esta consta de un recipiente inferior donde se coloca el agua y posee una válvula de seguridad, la cual le ha ocasionado lesiones delicadas a varias personas tras salir disparada producto al mal funcionamiento del equipo en un momento dado. Además, este recipiente posee un embudo con un filtro donde se coloca el café molido. A este va enroscado una parte superior que también posee un filtro en la base y la cual será depositaria del café ya preparado. Esta cafetera también utiliza el sistema de filtrado. Las hay de diferentes tamaños y para ser usadas en cocinas de gas o eléctricas.

In Cuba we currently use the Italian or moka pot to prepare coffee (almost a mandatory drink in 99% of our homes). This consists of a lower container where the water is placed and has a safety valve, which has caused serious injuries to several people after it was thrown due to the equipment malfunctioning at a given moment. In addition, this container has a funnel with a filter where the ground coffee is placed. An upper part is screwed to this, which also has a filter at the base and which will be the depository for the already prepared coffee. This coffee maker also uses the filter system. They come in different sizes and can be used on gas or electric stoves.
