Bialetti Moka Express Coffee Maker

No, the standard aluminum Moka Express is designed for gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops. It will not work on induction surfaces unless you use a separate induction adapter plate.

You should hand wash the pot with warm water only. Avoid using soap, detergents, or the dishwasher, as these can strip the aluminum's seasoning and affect the flavor of your coffee over time.

In Moka pot terminology, one 'cup' is roughly 45-50ml. This 6-cup model yields approximately 280ml of coffee, which is ideal for a few small servings or a couple of larger, diluted drinks.

Aluminum is an excellent heat conductor, which allows the Moka Express to heat up quickly and evenly. This material helps develop the specific pressure and temperature needed to extract the rich oils and aromas characteristic of traditional Italian stovetop espresso.

The safety valve is a maintenance-free, patented feature designed to release excess pressure if the internal pressure gets too high. Simply ensure it remains clean and unobstructed by coffee grounds or debris during your regular cleaning routine.
