Bialetti Mini Express

No, this model is made of aluminum and is designed specifically for gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops. It will not function on an induction cooktop unless you use an induction adapter plate.

The Mini Express is designed for two 1.5 oz servings, totaling 3 oz of concentrated, moka-style coffee. It is intended for short, espresso-like shots rather than a full mug of drip coffee.

No, both the coffee maker and the included cups should be washed by hand. Using a dishwasher can damage the aluminum finish and the artwork on the unit.

Once placed on a preheated stove, the brewing process typically takes about 3 minutes. The exact time can vary slightly depending on your stove's heat intensity.

The Mini Express is engineered to brew into two cups simultaneously via its dual spouts. While you can technically place one cup under the spouts, it is designed to balance the pressure and flow for two servings at once.
