- The original moka coffee pot: Moka Express is the original stovetop espresso maker, it provides the experience of the real Italian way of preparing a tasteful coffee, its unique shape and the inimitable gentleman with moustache date back to 1933, when Alfonso Bialetti invented it.
- Made in Italy: it is Made in Italy and its quality is enhanced by the patented safety valve which makes it easy to clean and its ergonomic handle, available in many sizes and suitable for gas, electric and induction (with the Bialetti induction adapter plate)
- How to prepare the coffee: fill the boiler up to the safety valve, fill it up with ground coffee without pressing, close the moka pot and place it on the stovetop, as soon as Moka Express starts to gurgle, turn the fire off and coffee will be ready
- One size for each need: Moka Express sizes are measured in Espresso Cups, coffee can be enjoyed in Espresso Cups or in larger containers
- Cleaning instructions: the Bialetti Moka Express should be rinsed simply with water, after use. Do not use detergents. The product should not be washed in the dishwasher as this could cause damage to the product and affect the taste of the coffee.

Beautiful espresso maker. Be mindful that using a gas stove will discolor your pot.

If you love strong, rich espresso, this Bialetti Moka Express is a must-have. It makes incredibly bold and delicious coffee—this isn’t weak drip coffee, this is the real dark Italian-style espresso flavor I was hoping for.
It’s very easy to use once you learn the simple steps. There’s a tiny learning curve the first time (water level, heat, how tightly to pack the grounds, etc.), but it only took me one or two tries to get it perfect. After that, it’s quick and consistent every time.
The build quality is excellent—solid, well-made, and it feels like it will last for years. Cleanup is super easy too: just warm water and a paper towel, no complicated parts or scrubbing required.
I’ve had zero issues with leaking, burning, or the handle getting hot. Everything works exactly as it should.
If you want authentic espresso at home without spending hundreds on a machine, this is the way to go. 5 stars.

Ürün güzel yalnız eğer sürekli iki kişi kahve içmiyorsanız, eşiniz arada sırada eşlik ediyor ise 1 ya da 2 cup alın ,aksi durumda çok kahve harcamak zorundasınız kalırsınız ki kahve fiyatları da uçmuş..
eğer yoğun kahve seviyorsanız iki shot espresso için 2 cup, tek shot yeter derseniz 1 cup alın. Mesela bilindik zincir kahvecilerin çoğu küçük bardak için tek shot kullanıyor öyle hesap edin
Ayrıca sıcak su kullanıyorsanız kahve zaten çok hızlı hazır oluyor yani 3-5 dakikaya ikinci kahveyi de yaparsınız eğer ölçü açısından ikilemde kaldınız ise

Our son loves this espresso maker brews! Creates high-quality coffee and a robust “solo” cup. He said it is easy to use, and it can be prepared in only 3 minutes. He loves that it is its a great size for a single serving. He loves its color, design, simplicity in cleaning, and overall performance

This is the emperor penguin of moka pots- a big ol’ boy. Makes a very nice two and a half cups of coffee.
I like that it is simple to use, easy to clean and iconic.

Makes perfect coffee. Comes put together already. Looks beautiful on our shelf. This one makes four good espresso cups worth. You’ll save money using one of these instead of going to Starbucks!

A friend of mine showed me her Bialetti moka pot in silver and I liked it so much that I decided to order this one. The current price of $36.86 plus tax is pricey but typical. She even paid $8 less than I did but the price on Amazon fluctuates and this particular color is more expensive. It is also perfect for Christmas time even though these are the colors of the Italian flag.
This pot comes in three pieces (five pieces if I consider the filter and filter ring separate). The filter and filter ring are shown separately in the documentation but I could not remove them; although one day I’ll need to replace it with this. In fact, I ordered a new filter when I purchased this not realizing I didn’t need it.
Before use this pot has to be primed (four times). First, it should be used (heated) with just water then dumped. The remaining three times it should be brewed with coffee and then the coffee dumped. Once the unit is primed, it is ready to use.
After priming, I brewed regular coffee on low and it was done in a few minutes. It is perfect for espresso (not as good as what comes out of an espresso machine but close enough). As long as I remember to warm my milk after I froth it, it makes a good cappuccino by just pouring the brewed coffee on top of the foam or adding the foam on top of the coffee (either / or).
Note that I also ordered these filters to lay on top of the grinds (and wetting it lightly) but my order for that hasn’t arrived yet. This will help keep some of the sediment out of the brewed coffee.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
– This supposedly makes 3 cups but the “cup” size is actually the tiny espresso cups (demitasse cups). Since this holds only about 4 ounces of water below the safety valve, I actually consider this as making 2 espresso cups. Each demistasse cup holds a little over 2 ounces of coffee.
– This needs to be primed before use as mentioned above.
– This pot only gets rinsed with water and never washed.
– The coffee grinds should not be packed down as one would do with an espresso machine. They should only be loosely sitting in the “funnel.”
– Only regular grind coffee should be used. Espresso coffee (which is a finer ground) should NEVER be used with this pot as it will clog the filter.
– It’s best to use with a lower flame below the pot. Lifting the lid during brewing may make a mess. I tried lifing the lid and during the end of the brew cycle, the coffee explodes out like a volcano. The lid prevents this.
In summary, I love my moka pot. It is a piece of functional art that allows me to brew “almost espresso” at the drop of a hat very quickly.
UPDATE Dec 18, 2024 – I am using this pot regularly and love it. As I mentioned above, my order for these filters finally came in. I ordered that because another reviewer recommended them and I am sorry I did. I put this on top of the grinds and wet it lightly, but I didn’t like the results. First of all, the coffee came out exactly as it always did and there was still some sediment in the bottom of the brewed coffee. Secondly, the pot ran hot and steamy. I may try these filters one more time but I honestly wish I never ordered those filters for this pot. It was a waste of money to me not to mention the scariness of having the pot run under more pressure than expected.

I’m very happy with my Bialetti Moka Express Iconic Italian Stovetop Coffee Maker. It makes excellent coffee with rich flavor and is built with high-quality materials that truly feel durable.
– Authentic Italian design – Classic and stylish, perfect for any kitchen.

I’ve tried other stovetop coffee makers, but this one really stands out.* The coffee quality is outstanding*, and the craftsmanship is excellent. Without a doubt, this is the best moka pot you can buy on Amazon. Highly recommended!

Not the first Bialetti we have had so we know their superb quality. Taking one star away because the original box the coffee maker arrived in was completely smashed and it was clearly taped together *before* it was packed to ship. The shipping package was completely intact. The product did not appear new.

OTTIMO ARTICOLO, BUONA QUALITÀ GENERALE. LA RACCOMANDO AL 100 %

Where do I start?
This is simply the best product in it’s category, bar none.
Moka pots in general get a bad rap as being finicky and difficult to use, but that’s nonsense. Watch a few You Tube videos and see for yourself, there’s nothing to it, a very short learning curve.
Basically all you have to do is:
1. Boil water and pour into the base, fill to just below the valve button
2. Fill the filter with medium/fine ground coffee (Illy is too fine, IMO) and tap to level, do not tamp down
3. Place a 2.5″ round Aeropress filter on top of grounds (500 for $6, just a bit more than a penny each)
4. Add a few drops of water on top of the filter so it stays in place while you screw down the lid
5. Place on medium heat, with the lid open so you can see when the “volcano erupts”
6. When it starts to sputter, take it off the heat and close the lid, wait a few minutes and pour.
I have an induction cooktop and the base is aluminum so I got a Bialetti Induction Stainless steel plate
All Moka pots work the same way, but be aware of cup capacity. When they are labeled “3 cup” or “6 cup” do not think of it like 8 oz cups, or even the standard 5 oz standard coffee cup measurement. They are more like 1.25 oz espresso cups, so the 3 cup model only makes 4 ounces of coffee, not even enough for one person. I returned it and bought the 6 cup model, which makes about 7.5 ounces of coffee, and it is strong enough to add a bit of water to at the end, without losing its potency.
Finally, the color design. 90% of Moka pots are all aluminum, some of the trendy new ones are black, or white or have various pastel shades to match kitchen decor. This is Red and Green like the Italian Flag, (with a high polished stainless steel band between the two colors), in fact it is called the “Italia” model to differentiate it from the other ones.
It is just gorgeous.
Very well enameled, and cleans up beautifully with a magic eraser (don’t use soap on the inside) .
I bought this thinking it would just be an adjunct to my espresso maker, drip coffeemaker, Chemex pourover coffee maker (actually an excellent Agogo knockoff), and my Bodum French Press. I have had this almost a month, and have used it every day. It’s that good.
I first discovered this by watching a video on You Tube of Jerry Seinfeld talking to GQ about certain objects that have “quintessence”, meaning that they are the finest example of their genre, and he RAVED about his Bialetti Italia Moka pot (along with things like the Bic crystal pen and Levi 501s).
I was intrigued, and for $68 (Moka pot PLUS the heating plate) it just can’t be beat, it’s PERFECT!
Tom_Tomson –
Moka pots are fun: they make a tasty cup of joe, they’re elegantly simple but have a sort of scientific flair, and they’re sturdy and last a long time. This pot lives up to the standard!
Look up some basic instructions for how to use one, before trying it out. It’s simple, but there are still things you can mess up (under/over filling water/grounds, how long to heat, etc.). One thing I wish I knew, was that you really can’t under-fill the grounds for one of these – each size makes one quantity of coffee.
The only part that you should have to replace is the rubber gasket that connects the two halves together, but I’ve had two of these for years, and neither has needed their gasket replaced yet.
If you haven’t already – buy one to try it out! Keep in mind, the sizing is in cups of espresso, not American coffee pot ‘cups’.

Review of the Bialetti Espresso Maker
Introduction
Hey there! Today, we’re going to talk about a really cool kitchen gadget called the Bialetti Espresso Maker. Imagine you have a magic pot that makes delicious, strong coffee, like the kind grown-ups love to drink. The Bialetti Espresso Maker is just like that! It’s a special pot that makes a type of coffee called espresso, which is rich and tasty.
What is the Bialetti Espresso Maker?
The Bialetti Espresso Maker, also known as a Moka pot, is a small metal pot that sits on your stove and makes espresso coffee. It’s been around for a long time and is really popular because it makes great coffee. The pot has a unique design with three main parts: the bottom chamber for water, the middle part for coffee grounds, and the top part where the espresso collects.
Why is it Special?
1. Easy to Use: The Bialetti Espresso Maker is simple to use. You just add water, coffee grounds, and then heat it on the stove.
2. Classic Design: It has a cool, classic design that looks great in any kitchen. It’s shiny and often made of aluminum.
3. Makes Delicious Coffee: It brews strong, delicious espresso coffee that adults love to drink, either on its own or with milk to make drinks like lattes and cappuccinos.
4. No Electricity Needed: Unlike some coffee makers, the Bialetti doesn’t need electricity. You just need a stove to heat it up.
How Does it Work?
Here’s how the magic happens:
1. Add Water: First, you pour water into the bottom part of the pot.
2. Add Coffee Grounds: Next, you put coffee grounds into the middle part of the pot, which looks like a little funnel.
3. Assemble the Pot: Then, you screw the top part onto the bottom part, making sure everything is tight.
4. Heat on the Stove: Put the pot on the stove and heat it up. As the water heats, it turns into steam, which pushes through the coffee grounds and up into the top part of the pot.
5. Enjoy Your Coffee: When you hear a hissing sound, your coffee is ready! Carefully pour it out and enjoy.
What Do People Like About It?
People love the Bialetti Espresso Maker because it makes rich, flavorful coffee and is fun to use. It’s like a science experiment you can do in the kitchen! It’s also very durable and can last for many years if you take good care of it.
Anything Not So Great?
One thing to remember is that the Bialetti can get really hot, so you need to be careful when using it. Always have an adult help you when making coffee with it. Also, cleaning the pot can take a bit of time, but it’s important to keep it nice and shiny.
Conclusion
The Bialetti Espresso Maker is a fantastic kitchen gadget that makes delicious coffee and looks really cool. It’s easy to use, doesn’t need electricity, and makes coffee that grown-ups love. If you enjoy helping out in the kitchen or want to learn more about making coffee, the Bialetti Espresso Maker is a great tool to explore. Just remember to always use it with the help of an adult. So go ahead, get ready to brew some magical coffee, and impress your family with your barista skills!

There’s a reason the design of these has barely changed in a hundred years: every aspect of making coffee with them is a treat for the senses.
Visually it’s beautiful, it smells amazing, the coffee it makes tastes perfect, it screws together with a really satisfying feel. Hell, the “gurgle” it makes sounds really cosy as well. Like a cat purring through a bong.
Timeless stuff.

Bialetti invented this classic coffee maker. Numerous companies import copies from China—but the Italian-made original is still the best! For best results, watch several online videos to learn how easy it is to use and clean.
Some say to never wash it with soap—but for best results, periodically disassemble it and give it a thorough cleaning. Just be sure to rinse it carefully.
