Bialetti - Moka Induction, Moka Pot, Suitable for All Types of Cookers, 4 Cups of Espresso (150ml), Black

Product Information

There are some moka pots that are specially designed for induction stoves. They will usually be magnetic or marked with the induction logo. If you’ve ever used (or even seen) a stovetop espresso maker, it’s thanks to the founder of this company, Alfonso Bialetti, who invented the classic aluminium moka pot in 1933. Ever since then, Bialetti have focused on marrying world-renowned Italian style with equally famous Italian coffee, creating a range of espresso and coffee makers that deliver an amazing brew. To sum up, most Moka pots don’t work with induction stoves since induction appliances need to be magnetic to work, and most Moka pots are made from aluminum. The filter that is usually fixed onto the upper chamber, in this case, is loose so when attaching all of the parts the filter disk is placed on top of the bed of coffee.

Although often called an Italian espresso machine, typical stovetop brews a longer (albeit still strong) coffee, so when mixed with milk you are essentially adding around 3 or 4 times the amount of brewed coffee resulting in the wrong ratio of coffee to milk. Using boiling water will aid better extraction and stop you getting sour coffee; you should also take the pot off the heat once it starts to spit as letting it heat too long at this stage can make for a bitter taste. Pour straight away and enjoy, or water it down for a longer Americano-style coffee.” What key things should you look for in a moka pot?

If you have an induction-compatible moka pot, you can use it on an induction stove just the same as you would on a gas or electric cooker. If your moka is made from aluminum or isn’t an induction moka pot, you can still use it but you will need an induction adapter. Finally, Nadia says that filling the lower chamber with hot water (freshly boiled, ideally) will speed up extraction, prevent the coffee from burning, and keep the brew from developing a metallic taste. Their ethics of less is more combined with a minimalistic and artistic approach, help their products stand out in the speciality coffee crowd. The moka pot is an instantly recognisable symbol of Italian coffee culture, and one of the world’s most famous brewing devices.

She says: “You can brew high-quality coffee in a moka pot [no matter the origin], all with similar roast profiles to filter coffee.” Most moka pots can not be used on an induction stove without an induction adaptor, since most moka pots are made from non-magnetic materials (usually aluminum), and the induction process relies on electromagnetism to generate heat.It’s a similar process as microwaves use to agitate water molecules inside your food, but for metal instead. Induction stoves only work when there’s a magnetic material to be agitated by the generated magnetic fields. How to prepare coffee: to make a great cup of coffee, simply pour water into the boiler up to the safety valve, insert the funnel in the tank and add the ground coffee for moka without pressing it. Close the moka tightly and place it on the hob at medium temperature. Wait for coffee to gurgle as it rises to the collector (upper chamber), turn off the hob and finally enjoy a good coffee!
