The Bialetti Moka Express is the original stovetop moka pot, unchanged in shape since 1933. It brews strong, espresso-like coffee by pushing hot water up through ground coffee, and its aluminum body, patented safety valve and ergonomic handle make it simple to use and clean. It suits anyone who wants a low-tech, durable coffee maker without electricity, though it needs a fine grind and some practice, and it works on induction only with Bialetti's adapter plate. Rivals such as stainless steel moka pots are dishwasher-safe and induction-ready out of the box, but the Moka Express is lighter, cheaper to own and the benchmark for classic moka coffee.

The Bialetti Moka Express is a stovetop coffee maker made in Italy. Its shape dates back to 1933, when Alfonso Bialetti invented it, and it carries the Bialetti "man with the moustache" emblem. The body is aluminum, and the handle and knob are thermoplastic. The handle is ergonomic to make the pot easier to grip.
A patented safety valve is easy to inspect and clean. The aluminum is 100% recyclable, and used coffee grounds are organic waste that can be recycled or composted. The Moka Express comes in sizes from 1 to 18 cups. The size is measured in cups, and the coffee can be served in espresso cups or larger cups.
To make coffee, fill the boiler with water up to the safety valve. Insert the funnel tank and fill it with ground coffee for moka without pressing it down. Close the pot and place it on the hob. When the coffee gurgles as it rises to the upper chamber, turn off the heat. After use, rinse the pot with water only and do not use detergents.
