About this item
- The original moka coffee pot: Moka Express is the original stovetop espresso maker, it provides the experience of the real Italian way of preparing a tasteful coffee, its unique shape and the inimitable gentleman with moustache date back to 1933, when Alfonso Bialetti invented it.
- Made in Italy: it is Made in Italy and its quality is enhanced by the patented safety valve which makes it easy to clean and its ergonomic handle, available in many sizes and suitable for gas, electric and induction (with the Bialetti induction adapter plate)
- How to prepare the coffee: fill the boiler up to the safety valve, fill it up with ground coffee without pressing, close the moka pot and place it on the stovetop, as soon as Moka Express starts to gurgle, turn the fire off and coffee will be ready
- One size for each need: Moka Express sizes are measured in Espresso Cups, coffee can be enjoyed in Espresso Cups or in larger containers
- Cleaning instructions: the Bialetti Moka Express should be rinsed simply with water, after use. Do not use detergents. The product should not be washed in the dishwasher as this could cause damage to the product and affect the taste of the coffee.

Love this espresso maker. It is better to invest in the future instead of buying cheap stuff to be upset everyday. Quality is great, it looks beautiful shiny. Even after 2 months daily use there is no damage at all.

When I traveled to Italy, I went to a Bialetti store and bought a single-shot moka pot. I got back to the US and realized that I would like a larger one too, so I decided to get the one people told me that I should have gotten in Italy: the three-shot, classic aluminum moka pot. I still love my original little green moka pot, but the aluminum one is considered a classic for a reason!
It’s easy, fast, and makes much better coffee than a drip coffeemaker. It may seem a little confusing at first, but it’s very easy to figure out how the moka pot works once you take it apart. My advice for using the moka pot is this: overfill the grounds just a little, don’t pat them down flat, and don’t use super high heat– I set my stove at medium-low. When the coffee spout starts to sputter and bubble with lots of air, the coffee is done and it’s ready to drink. Also, keep the lid closed in case hot coffee starts to splash out of the spout! That can happen if you set the temperature too high.

Easy to use and clean and the taste of the coffee is really good. I would buy this again.

On a teacher salary- I shouldn’t be spending upwards to $140 monthly on coffee. That’s once or twice a day getting to work at 7am and staying up late with mom duties (and going to school)
I need my caffeine regardless…!
This has been such a great purchase! Definitely for a quick latte in the mornings! I’m not a coffee connoisseur. So adding syrup, milk, using a frother. Taste just as good as going to get one and I’m not spending $5-7 daily on a drink.
There was a leak with the seal. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t.
At the end of the day- I think it’s definitely worth it.

I was skeptical but wasn’t about to pay $150+ for another small espresso machine. So I bought this baby, the small one alone side the Ratrso Milk Warmer/Frother. I am 100% Satisfied. I found the perfect amount of grinds to add is 1.50 tbsp – 2tbsp.
Yes! I know the reviews are mixed, but I use fine ground espresso style coffee grinds and it works just fine. My goal was lattes at home to save money.
I turn on my stove to medium to let it heat up. I fill the bottom of this with water to the bottom of the little ridge. Put the espresso cup in and add the espresso. Then put the top on, just a little tight and put this on the stove. Takes mine about 3-4 minutes to start doing its thing. Once I hear it speaking to my soul, I turn it off and let it sit there to finish. It legit takes less a minute. Once the foamy brown goodness starts coming out saying there is no more water I remove it and pour it into my cup.
