Bialetti Moka Express Stovetop Coffee Maker

Bialetti Moka Express Stovetop Coffee Maker

If there’s one coffee brewer that defines Italian coffee culture, it’s the Bialetti Moka Express. Since Alfonso Bialetti introduced the world’s first octagonal moka pot in 1933, more than 300 million have been sold worldwide — making it one of the most popular kitchen objects ever made.

The Moka Express brews rich, full-bodied, espresso-strength coffee by forcing pressurised steam through finely-ground coffee — no electricity required, no pods, no fuss. Just fire, water, and great coffee.

Key Features

• Octagonal Aluminium Construction: The iconic eight-sided design isn’t just aesthetic — it distributes heat evenly for consistent brewing
• Pressure Brewing System: Steam pressure (1.5 bar) forces water through coffee grounds for a bold, concentrated brew
• 6-Cup Capacity: Brews approximately 300ml of espresso-strength coffee — perfect for 2–3 servings
• Works on Gas & Electric Stovetops: Compatible with any non-induction heat source (use a reducer plate for electric)
• Easy to Use & Clean: Three-part construction — base, filter, and top — rinses clean in seconds
• Made in Italy: Genuine Bialetti product, manufactured in Italy to original specifications

How to Brew the Perfect Moka Pot Coffee

The secret to a great Moka pot brew is freshly ground coffee, medium-fine grind size, and low heat. Fill the lower chamber with cold water to just below the valve, add your ground coffee without tamping (a level, loose fill), and brew on low-to-medium heat. Remove from heat the moment you hear the characteristic gurgling sound — this prevents the coffee from scorching and ensures a sweet, rich result.

The Affordable Path to Espresso-Style Coffee

At just $54 AUD, the Bialetti Moka Express delivers espresso-strength coffee at home without the cost or complexity of an espresso machine. Pair it with a quality grinder and fresh MyRoast beans for a genuinely excellent result.
