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

Product Information

Today, there are dozens of different ways to brew coffee at home. It has been almost 100 years since the moka pot was invented, but it remains popular among consumers for a reason. The moka pot’s markings and ease of use make it a great option for home brewers who want a brew that’s easy to replicate. While it is often used to create an intense, heavy coffee at home, the moka pot is actually very versatile. With a little experimentation, home brewers can use it to explore specialty coffee and even recreate popular coffee shop beverages.

Valentina says that even though the moka pot is traditionally associated with darker roasts (similar to espresso), it can actually be used to brew a variety of different coffees with surprising success. The top is crafted from aluminium to preserve the delicious coffee aroma, while the boiler and funnel are made from durable steel and the handle and knob are coated with soft-touch silicone for safe use. Nadia recommends starting with a medium to fine grind size; finer than you would for pour over, but not as fine as espresso. Using a grind size that is fine enough for espresso will lead to over-extraction and a bitter cup.

Most moka pots are made from aluminium or stainless steel, and consist of three parts: a lower chamber, a filter basket (where to put the ground coffee), and an upper collection chamber. Bi-layer technology for perfect coffee: the outer steel layer of the boiler ensures operation even on induction hobs, while the internal aluminum layer ensures even heat distribution. Like the coffee of the classic Moka: the aluminium binder, the material of which the classic Moka is made, combined with the bi-layer boiler ensures a coffee and pleasant as the coffee prepared with the traditional Moka. Bringing the traditional stovetop espresso maker right into the 21st century, Bialetti’s 4-Cup Induction Hob Coffee Maker is the perfect marriage of traditional taste and up-to-date design.

She says: “You can brew high-quality coffee in a moka pot [no matter the origin], all with similar roast profiles to filter coffee.”Conversely, she uses hot water for coffees from East Africa (such as Ethiopia and Kenya) to speed up extraction. She says that this helps to highlight their floral, fruity flavours. Designed to be easy to use, it will work just as well on gas, electric and ceramic hobs as on induction ones, has an ergonomic handle with a textured anti-slip grip, and a flip-top lid for easy pouring. And it goes in the dishwasher too. She adds that the other most common mistakes are brewers using cold water, tamping down their grounds in the filter basket, and brewing on a high heat setting. Nadia says the most common errors that people make involve the water, not the coffee. “Most moka pots have a safety valve in the bottom chamber,” she says. “If you fill water past this level, too much pressure will build up.” Luca takes a slightly different approach. For starters, he tells me that he often uses a recipe designed by Lorenzo Baffi, the current Professional Moka Challenge champion. This recipe uses 11g of coffee per 100ml of water – a slightly higher ratio than usual.
