The original stovetop coffeemaker, the Bialetti Moka Express, has been serving up fresh Italian style espresso coffee since 1933. The Bialetti Moka Express is made in Italy and is constructed from food grade aluminum. It includes a sturdy stay cool nylon handle and knob and Bialetti’s patented safety valve. Moka pots produce a rich, authentic espresso and Bialetti’s distinctive eight-sided shape allows it to diffuse heat perfectly to enhance the aroma of your coffee. Moka pots are compact and easy-to-use, making them perfect to use at home or when travelling. To use a Moka Express with an induction stovetop, use a Bialetti Induction Hob Converter with your Moka pot. Looking for a Moka pot bigger than 9 cups?

To use the Moka Express with an induction stovetop, use a Bialetti Induction Hob Converter with your Moka pot. Before First Use: Before using the Moka Express for the first time, it’s a good idea to hand wash all the parts in hot water first. We recommended that you throw away the first 3 brews. It’s really important that you don’t use the handle while unscrewing the Moka pot, as this can cause the handle to break.
