Bialetti Moka Express 12-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker – Aluminum, Silver

Experience the original moka coffee ritual

The Moka Express is the original stovetop espresso maker, a design born in Italy in 1933. Created by Renato Bialetti and famously illustrated by Paul Campani, this aluminum pot brings the aroma and ritual of a traditional Italian café into your home. Made in Italy, it features a patented safety valve and an ergonomic handle that make everyday use feel straightforward and satisfying.

With its classic silhouette and dependable performance, this moka pot invites you to explore a bold, balanced brew. The 12-cup size (22.6 oz / 670 ml) is ideal for shared mornings or gatherings, and the pot works on gas, electric, or propane stoves. If you have an induction cooktop, you can use the Bialetti induction adapter plate (sold separately) to keep the ritual going with modern kitchens.

What you may notice as you brew

• Authentic Italian flavor and aroma that comes from the moka-brew method.
• Durable aluminum body that heats evenly for consistent results.
• Ergonomic handle for a comfortable, controlled pour.
• Patented safety valve that helps you monitor pressure while cooking.
• Versatility across heat sources, with induction options via adapter plate.

How to use and care

1. Fill the boiler with water up to the valve, then add ground coffee without pressing it flat.
2. Assemble the pot and place it on the heat; when it begins to gurgle, remove from heat.
3. Pour promptly and enjoy; after use, rinse with clean water only.

• Avoid detergents to preserve flavor and seasoning of the aluminum.
• Dry thoroughly to prevent oxidation and keep the finish shining.

Portability and everyday coffee rituals

Whether at home, on a weekend camping trip, or at the beach, the Moka Express makes home-style espresso accessible wherever you go. Its compact size, robust construction, and timeless design add a touch of Italian charm to any setting.

Induction and future-ready options

For modern kitchens, induction tops work with the optional Bialetti induction adapter plate. This keeps the ritual intact while you embrace newer appliances and layouts.
