Cilio Aida Espresso Maker

Yes, the Cilio Aida features a flat, magnetic stainless steel base specifically engineered to work efficiently on induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric stoves.

The 22-ounce capacity refers to the total volume of the pot. In terms of servings, this will yield approximately 4 to 6 standard espresso-sized cups, depending on how strong you prefer your brew.

Unlike aluminum moka pots, which can sometimes impart a metallic taste or react with acidic coffee oils, this high-quality stainless steel design is non-reactive, ensuring a clean, consistent flavor profile.

While the stainless steel is durable, we recommend hand-washing the unit with warm, soapy water to preserve the polished finish and ensure the seals remain intact over time.

It is best to use medium heat. High heat can scorch the coffee grounds and potentially damage the silicone gasket, so a steady, moderate temperature will produce a much smoother extraction.
