IKAPE Moka Pot

No, this model is designed for gas, electric, and ceramic cooktops. Because it is made of cast aluminum, it will not work on induction surfaces unless you use an induction adapter plate.

The handle is designed to be flame-retardant and heat-resistant, so it stays cool to the touch during normal stovetop brewing. However, you should always ensure the flame on your gas stove does not extend beyond the base of the pot to avoid overheating the handle.

No, you should hand wash this pot with warm water and mild soap. Dishwashers can cause the aluminum to oxidize and discolor, which may affect the flavor of your coffee over time.

For the best results, use a medium-fine grind, similar to table salt. If the grind is too fine, it can clog the filter and create excessive pressure; if it is too coarse, the coffee will taste weak and watery.

The integrated safety valve is a pressure-release mechanism located on the side of the bottom chamber. If the internal pressure becomes too high during brewing, the valve automatically releases steam to prevent the pot from over-pressurizing.
