Italian designer Luca Nichetto said his idea for the Sucabaruca coffe set comes from Caffè Florian, one of Europe’s oldest cafes located in Venice, where Nichetto was born. The designer states he wanted to design a coffee set which combines the modern ritual of filtered coffee with “the renowned tradition of my land, where coffee has been a cult drink for centuries.” The set was designed for Mjölk, of Canada.
Nichetto was born in 1976 in Venice and he studied at the Art Institute there, his biography states. Afterwards he attended the University Institute of Architecture of Venice (IUAV), where he earned a degree in Industrial Design. He began his professional career in 1999 by designing his first projects in Murano glass for Salviati. He’s won numerous awards and was recently nominated by Elle Décor Italy for Designer of the Year, 2013. Nichetto has collaborated with Italian and international companies, including Berga, Bosa, Casamania, Cassina, David Design, De Padova, Discipline, Established & Sons, Fornasarig, Foscarini, Fratelli Guzzini, Gallotti & Radice, Glass, Globo, Italesse, La Chance, King’s, Kristalia, Mabeo, MG Lab, Moroso, Offecct, Ogeborg, One Nordic Furniture Company, Petite Friture, Salviati, Skitsch, Skultuna, Tacchini, TobeUs, Venini and Zero.

Also, see to it that you follow the correct coffee beans and water proportion. Putting too much water and little coffee beans in the coffee maker will certainly yield a poor and “weak” brew. A general rule when brewing is to put 2 tablespoons of grounded coffee beans for every 6 ounces of water.
