Moka Express by Alfonso Bialetti, 1933,

90 years ago Alfonso Bialetti invented the Moka Express and changed the image of domestic coffee in Italy and perhaps worldwide.

It was Alfonso's wife who inspired the iconic 8- sided shape of the Moka with her silhouette: the head, the broad shoulders, the narrow waist, the arm on the hip and a pleated skirt ... It is named in honor of the city of Mokha in Yemen, famous for a wildly popular coffee.

Moka Express is a true example of Italian creativity and of ‘made in Italy,’ and is present in the permanent collection at the Milan Triennale and the MoMA in New York

Has anyone watched Castaway Diva and wish to chat with me about ep 4 or just in general? 😭

I experienced different states from the first ep.

Ep 1. I cried and loved it!

Ep2. I still cried but found few flaws

Ep3. I found many flaws, stopped crying and considered dropping it, bcs it looked like it was aimed at teenage audience...

Ep4...

I literally stopped breathing, most of the ep my heart was racing fast and last 15 minutes were just the end for me!

Ps. I'm dropping it if BoGeol is not the main lead, BCS I fallen for him already!

The other brother is ok, but BoGeol is my type of main lead😉

But in general ep 4 was WOW! 🔥

Any questions? 🤣

Op het Arabische schiereiland krijgt de stokoude koffieteelt nieuw leven ingeblazen met klimaatbestendige stone coffee

De opmars van specialty coffee doet de koffieteelt op het Arabisch schiereiland opleven. In Saoedi-Arabië en Jemen leidt dat tot herwaardering van soorten die gewapend zijn tegen droogte en hitte, zo goed dat ze een reddingsboei kunnen zijn voor de koffieteelt wereldwijd. Anders dan gewone commoditycoffee levert de teelt van specialty coffee koffieboeren bovendien een economisch model op dat…

lmao the way i really thought this was gonna be a funny little show about a woman in her thirties trying to become a singer and instead screams MURDER DANGER LIES SECRETS every five minutes.

things we learned in this ep:

Confirmed: BoGeol is Kiho. And Bogeol&Woohak are real bros

abusive father is only obsessed with one son (it seems) it gives me come and hug me vibes ngl

abusive father is a psycho who almost got a man killed because he didn't like the way he talked to him (basically)

the way it screams pre-meditated murder tells me this is not his first time which takes me to the next point,

there's gotta be a body in that place they keep showing and it's something bad for everyone

Hyung is as consistent as his brother, just that he's consistently stupid because how on earth do you think it's a good idea to enter a dangerous man's house in the middle of the night like it's a walk in the park? wtf? and he still doesn't know when to stop digging around for the truth even if he hurts the only father he knows. That chair did more damage than they're saying. Not only his memories, but the whole head has been compromised lol

the timeline is soooo confusing!!! did abusive father try to escape to that island after smashing a chair on his son's head and kidnapped Kiho? is that how it was?

i gotta hand it to the drama. Last week I said there probably wasn't any mystery left if they revealed who Kiho was, but turns out I was wrong. The family lives in safety thanks to the adoptive dad (he's a saint!) but also thanks to a bunch of lies and that is no bueno. No wonder Bogeol and his mom are worried that MokHa becomes famous and outs them to the public lol

Obviously I could talk for 6 years straight about the main characters of Castaway Diva and how amazing they are both as parts of the story and as rounded individuals in their own rights. How Mokha has wielded her kindness as strength her whole life and how it disarms people who are used to selfishness in this sometimes dark world, how Kiho is unwavering and resolute even when he looks three seconds away from bursting into tears, how Chaeho always claims to be selfish but is someone who works endlessly for others and notices the small things many overlook which makes him both a great journalist and an incredible big brother. We could talk about how just and honourable Lee Uk is even though he is the first to break the law when the law disagrees with what is just and honourable like a real life superhero. How Jaekyung has every reason to give up many times but is fuelled by a need to believe that things are good and can be good so she keeps going even if it means she has to make them good herself. How Ranjoo is beaten pillar to post by an industry that rips people to shreds but still loves it and wants to see it change into something good again even if that means more and more self-sacrifice. All of these go without saying.

But you know a character I loved? Morae. From an Eastern perspective no doubt she is a disrespectful, rude, annoying, selfish little brat and yes… she is all those things. But at the same time the show never moves away from reminding us that Ranjoo treated her like trash. Unlike Mokha and Yonggwan, she wasn’t Ranjoo’s choice, and Ranjoo punished her for that. In any Western media this rebellion would be romanticised, she’d be shown as another person to cheer for, while in traditional Eastern she would be villainised in every way. Many Kdramas have characters like Morae that never get a happy ending and that’s seen as right because she disrespected her seniors which is an offence comparable to murder. But Castaway Diva does not do that and blends both perspectives into a beautifully well-rounded character. This is someone who from day one was told she was second best, had everything she tried to do picked at, and she couldn’t do anything because Ranjoo was her senior. When she became bigger than her senior she got mean, and instead of choosing kindness and forgiveness in the face of hate like Mokha does, she chose pettiness and rudeness, which could have easily made her the token bad guy. Instead the show touches on the loneliness of having someone you admire seem to hate you, how she acts selfish because no one is ever on her side not even Seojun and Yonggwan sometimes, and how hard it is for her to see her selfish actions might be letting down her fans, a group of people she clearly adores. In the end she swallows her pride and asks for help, and never rubs it in Ranjoo’s face when she accepts the offer for royalties, because she knows that while she and her senior can never be friends they can be successful if they work together. And she is - she gets her number one and reconnects with Ranjoo on social media as her way of saying ‘I was ashamed before but now we are in this together, Sunbae.’

I love her, I love how she was written, I love how she was acted out with the varying shades of stink eye and ‘is about to start crying’, I love how she was absolutely a real and loveable pain in the butt and not a caricature like she could so easily have been.

Castaway Diva… you did great. 5 stars.

Weak Hero: Character Name Meanings (Korean): Part. 2 The Union Executives

Another moodboard where I babyfy humanize them. The meanings are based on Hanja. Cross referenced against naming websites in Chinese and Japanese, Naver Hanja Dictionary, Pleco, Hanjadic, and Takobot apps.

Pt. 1 (Eunjang Gang + Pilyoung/Phillip) || Pt. 3 (The Union Members) || Pt. 4 (People from the Past) || Pt. 5 (Supporting Student Characters)

castaway diva episode 7 changed me as a person

If the second brother turns out to be the childhood friend, fine whatever, I don’t care. It’s episode 3 and they’ve barely interacted. But if she doesn’t end up with Woo Hak, I’m rioting.

I am soo freaking happy that it was Eugene who ended Donald's smooth running "career".

Even though he didn't do it intentionally, he basically ended the entire union's business all by himself, without Gray's help. Well okay not by himself but he did start the Domino's effect to their end.

Eugene has always felt like he was worthless and that he didn't deserve to be around such amazing people, BUT LOOK AT HIM NOW HES SO AMAZING!! he'd better not feel worthless after this. Like ever.

This is such a nice improvement, I love the author for giving the honor of destroying union's business to Eugene. It easily could've been Gray but I'm so glad it wasn't.

N that moment when Toby called Eugene amazing and special was just AHSJHAJ. It made Eugene so happy to hear that UGH I LOVE THIS BOY!! <3

But those two panels of Donald sitting in the convenience store with the glass door broken and of him sitting in his destroyed office and just the look of absolute FEAR on his face...that broke my heart. I really really hope that someday, Donald redeems himself and finds ACTUAL happiness.

where is chaeho's happy ending?????
