Bialetti has been in the stovetop coffee brewing game since the 1930s, and the Moka Express is arguably the brand’s hallmark product.

The principle of making coffee on the stove is simple. Fill the bottom chamber with water and the coffee basket with ground coffee, and then place the pot on your stove. As the water boils, pressurised steam will help it surge upwards, passing through your coffee grounds and sending your brewed coffee into the top chamber. The force of the brewing helps a layer of crema to form, similar to what you’d get with a fully-fledged espresso machine. This pot can make up to 12 cups of coffee, so it’s great for entertaining friends or family. Constructed from aluminium alloy, you can count on the Moka Express for food-safety and durability. Additionally, the handle is heat-resistant, making for comfortable use every time.

With just coffee, water, and a stove, the Moka Express will deliver an earthy brew whenever your craving strikes.
