From the roaster

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.

Excellent espresso maker

We’ve had this stovetop espresso maker for about 5 years, and the coffee quality has always been excellent. It makes rich, flavorful espresso and worked very well for daily use.The only downside is that the metal piece holding the handle is not very durable.

What can I say that millions of Italians have already said? It's the BEST

Where do I start?This is simply the best product in it's category, bar none.Moka pots in general get a bad rap as being finicky and difficult to use, but that's nonsense. Watch a few You Tube videos and see for yourself, there's nothing to it, a very short learning curve.Basically all you have to do is:1.
