Coffe Maker traditional napolitain

Here are the classic napolitain coffee makers my mum gave me. They are a bit bashed up but it adds to their charm and flavour. The coffee made with these coffee maker it is much flavoursome and does not have the slightly burnt taste than the Espresso coffee maker. This is beacuse the coffee results by filtering down rather than steamed up by boiling water.

See Eduardo De Filippo in the "Questi fantasmi" comedy video for the poetry of coffee making..

Na Tazzullella e` cafe` - Lyrics 

Pino Daniele

(check utube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98XpQXQr5LA)

Na tazzulella e` cafe` e mai niente ce' fanne sape`

Nui ce' puzzammo e' famme, o' sanne tutte quante

e invece e c'aiuta` c'abboffano e' cafe.
Na Tazzullella e`' cafe` ca sigaretta n'coppa pu nun vere`.
Ca` stanno chine e'  sbaglie, fanno sule e' mbruoglie
S'allisciano se' vattene se' pigliano o cafe`.
E nui passamme e guaie, nui nun putimme fatica`.
E chiste invece e ra' na mano,
s'allisciano se vattono se magnano a citta`.
Na tazzullella e' cafe`.
Acconcia a vocca a chi nun vo sape`.
E nui tiramma annanzo ca dulore e' panze
e invece e' c'aiuta` c'abboffano e' cafe`
Na tazzulella e' cafe` ca sigaretta ngoppo pe nun vere`.
S'aizano e' palazze fanno cose e' pazze
Ce girano, c'avotano ce riempieno e' tasse.

...A cup of coffee, we are starving, everyone knows that..
..and instead of helping us they stuff us with coffee...
...and instead of helping us they rob, they fight they stuff themselves with coffee...
