Bialetti Moka Express: Iconic Stovetop Espresso Maker for Real Italian Coffee, 1 Cup (2 Oz - 60 Ml), Aluminium, Silver

The original Moka Express stovetop espresso maker, first designed in Italy in 1933, features a unique octagon shape that adds an eclectic character to the kitchen stovetop. This polished-aluminum coffee pot makes one 2-ounce espresso cup of coffee in just four to five minutes and is extremely simple to use. To prepare the coffee, you simply fill the lower chamber with water and the top filter with fine-ground coffee, then place the pot on the stove and heat until the water boils. Through a pressurizing process, the espresso then moves to the upper chamber of the pot, ready to be served.

Other highlights of the Moka Express include a flip-up top with an easy-grip knob, a stay-cool black plastic handle, and a side-pour spout. When finished using the unit, it should be washed by hand with warm soapy water and rinsed clean. Made in Italy, the Moka Express is the original stovetop espresso maker, providing the authentic Italian experience of preparing a flavorful coffee.

The unique shape and the iconic gentleman with a moustache on the Moka Express date back to 1933, when it was invented by Alfonso Bialetti. The quality of the Moka Express is enhanced by its patented safety valve, which makes it easy to clean, and its ergonomic handle, available in many sizes and suitable for gas, electric, and induction stovetops (with the Bialetti induction adapter plate).

To prepare the coffee in the Moka Express, simply fill the boiler up to the safety valve, add the ground coffee without pressing it down, close the moka pot, and place it on the stovetop. As soon as the Moka Express starts to gurgle, turn the fire off, and the coffee will be ready to enjoy.

The Moka Express comes in different sizes, measured in Espresso Cups, allowing you to enjoy your coffee in Espresso Cups or in larger containers. It is important to note that the Bialetti Moka Express should only be rinsed with clean water after use, without using any detergents. The product should not be washed in a dishwasher, as this will irremediably damage the pot and alter the taste of the coffee.

In conclusion, the Moka Express is the original stovetop espresso maker, providing the authentic Italian experience of preparing a flavorful coffee. Its unique design, quality craftsmanship, and easy-to-use features make it a must-have for coffee enthusiasts who appreciate the rich, authentic taste of Italian espresso.
