The Gemini Express is an Italian stovetop moka pot with a design first produced in the 1960s and still made in Italy by Eppicotispai. It brews directly into the cups: place one or two espresso cups on the base, set the pot on the hob, and the coffee fills the cups as it brews. No pouring, no upper chamber, no heat lost in transfer. This version is compatible with induction hobs as well as gas, ceramic and electric. How It Brews The Gemini Express works differently from a standard moka pot. Rather than collecting coffee in an upper chamber for pouring, it dispenses directly into the cups on its base. The boiler heats the water, which passes up through the coffee funnel and down into the cups below. The included reducer filter fits inside the funnel and changes the brew depending on how you use it. 2 cups standard: fill the boiler and funnel with coarse ground coffee 1 cup strong: insert the reducer filter and fill the boiler halfway 2 cups lighter: insert the reducer filter and fill the boiler fully Use coarse ground coffee only. Do not use fine ground or filter coffee Maximum cup height: 5.5 cm Induction Compatible This version works on induction hobs as well as gas, ceramic and electric stovetops. If your hob is not induction, the standard Gemini Express is available at a lower price. Compatible with induction, gas, ceramic and electric hobs On gas, use a low flame for best results Construction and Dimensions Made from food-safe aluminium in Italy.
