The Bialetti Moka Express is an Italian aluminium stovetop coffee maker with over 100 years of tradition. Its octagonal base ensures even heat distribution for richer espresso, a significant upgrade from instant or filter coffee. Using ground coffee, water, and heat, it produces a thick, full-bodied espresso-style coffee with intense flavour. Bialetti's Moka Ground Coffee is recommended for an authentic Italian taste.
Cup sizes are based on the traditional 2oz (60ml) taza; for a standard mug, a 3 or 4 cup Moka Express is suggested, while the 6 cup is a best-seller for two mugs. This espresso base is ideal for beverages like lattes, which can be made by adding heated and frothed milk (even using a cafetiere and microwave). A 3-step guide to using the Moka Express is available, taking around 7 minutes including brewing time.
Suitable for gas and electric hobs, induction stovetops require a compatible Bialetti maker or adapter plate. Only ground coffee and water are needed; freshly ground whole beans (slightly coarser than espresso, finer than cafetiere) are best. Bialetti also offers pre-ground Moka Coffee. The durable Moka Express is designed to last, with spare parts like gaskets and filters (recommended replacement every 12 months) available. As the official UK partner, we can help source any parts. Water quality is important; filtered water is ideal to prevent limescale. If not using filtered water, clean with vinegar and water; avoid chemicals. Bialetti is a sustainable brand, producing durable aluminium makers and offering spare parts, eliminating the need for solvent-based cleaners.
