Bialetti Induction Express

While the Bialetti Induction Express is specifically engineered to work efficiently on induction cooktops, it is also compatible with gas and electric stoves. However, its primary design advantage is its performance on induction surfaces.

The system is designed to brew directly into the two included aluminum cups, which are specifically shaped to fit the base and heat up during the brewing process. Using standard mugs will not work with this specific design.

No, this unit is not dishwasher safe. Like most aluminum Moka pots, it should be hand-washed with warm water and dried thoroughly to prevent oxidation and maintain the finish.

The patented safety valve is a standard but essential Bialetti feature that prevents excessive pressure buildup inside the boiler. It automatically releases steam if the internal pressure exceeds safe limits, ensuring a secure brewing process.

Aluminum is the traditional material for Italian Moka pots because it heats evenly and develops a 'seasoning' over time. This helps create the authentic, robust espresso flavor that Bialetti is known for.
