Our Story

Open wooden shutters of a mountain house looking onto a small balcony table with the Turbo Moka and a cup, green slopes and mountains behind

It began in a mountain house, the morning the gas ran out.

The house has no gas line. Every tank is carried up on foot, so when one runs out mid-brew, the coffee waits for the next trip down to the village. That morning, it did.

Which raised a simple question: how much of the flame's heat ever reaches the coffee at all?

The creator

Matteo Giuseppe Matsuura Frontini, the creator of Turbo Moka, is an engineer with a background in product development for high-performance e-bikes, a field where precision engineering, reliability, and attention to detail are paramount. With Turbo Moka, the aim is to celebrate an almost century-old tradition, reinterpreting it through a multidisciplinary approach that combines good design, physics and environmental awareness.

Elevating everyday rituals

The mission is to elevate everyday rituals through intelligent, sustainable design. We believe in preserving tradition, while rethinking how it fits into the future. Turbo Moka believes luxury is not about excess, but intention. We create for those who value tradition and expect efficiency, elegance, and sustainability.
