This stovetop espresso maker/mokapot is a staple appliance in almost every Italian household. With this device, you can craft a coffee that closely resembles the traditional Italian style espresso. The end result is an intense, robust coffee, packed with flavor, and it serves as a fantastic base for specialty milk coffees like cappuccinos.

Back in 1933, Alfonso Bialetti created the father of all stovetop espresso makers, the classic coffee pot that is still produced in Italy today. The Moka Express stovetop coffee maker is crafted from aluminum and is compatible with all stovetops except induction.

It is essential to use finely ground, dark roasted espresso coffee in these stovetop coffee makers to achieve the perfect cup of coffee. The Bialetti Moka Express is available in various sizes, including 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 cups. One cup equals a small espresso, roughly 40-50 ml of coffee. Always fill the entire coffee funnel with coffee, and be sure to choose the right size or sizes to suit your needs.
