Italian Coffee King's Ashes Stored in an Urn that Looks Like a Moka Pot

You may not know the name Renato Bialetti, but you may have one of his coffee pot in your kitchen. That's right: Bialetti was the man who turned the Moka Pot, the stove-top espresso maker, into a household icon.

When Bialetti died in 2016, his three children decided that it would be fitting to put his ashes inside an urn shaped like a giant Moka Pot (Just don't ever mistake what's inside for coffee grounds.)

Vincenzo Amato of La Stampa has the video clip and story (in Italian) - via BB-Blog
