Product Information

The other detracting factor that goes along with getting a pot that’s too big for your daily needs is that your heating time is going to be a lot longer than it needs to be when you’re using a larger-than-necessary pot to make your coffee every day. Choose A Size Based On Your Daily Coffee Consumption

For the solo coffee connoisseurs among us, the brew-a-cup-at-a-time Moka pots are the perfect fit. But, if you plan to share a cup with your partner or friend, choose one that can make more than 1 brew per use – there is nothing more annoying than having to repeat the process multiple times for multiple coffees. How can you know which size will fit your needs? Looking at your habits is the best way to determine which pot size will work for you. Let’s break down what each size has to offer! The Benefits Of Getting The Right Moka Pot Size Choose a Moka pot that fit your lifestyle I can’t speak for everyone, but based on my personal experience with this coffee maker, I’m pretty confident that you will not be disappointed. Where to buy?It is important to note that Moka coffee is not considered to be a version of espresso. The flavor profiles of Moka coffee and espresso are quite different, and you can’t use Moka coffee to make cappuccinos or lattes. Of course, the specific flavor you’ll get out of your Bialetti Moka pot will depend on a few factors. You may hear some people refer to a Moka pot as a stovetop espresso maker How Moka Differs From Other Methods If you’re looking for a stovetop espresso maker that’s as much a piece of art as it is a coffee maker, look no further than the Alessi Pulcina. It was designed by famed industrial designer Michele De Lucchi, a prominent figure in Europe’s art scene. He’s won numerous awards, including being appointed Officer of the Italian Republic for services to design and architecture. You can select the quality and quantity of your coffee blend directly in the filter, but no matter which type of coffee you use, you can depend upon the reliable performance of the Bialetti Moka Express to deliver a smooth, rich, full-bodied coffee with excellent flavour. What you use to create your coffee will have a huge impact on the taste profile that is created. Factors like the types of coffee beans, roast level, grind size, grind quality, and water quality will all impact the flavor and caffeine level that you experience when it’s time to take a sip. Pressure generated in a Moka pot is nowhere near as powerful as an espresso machine, hence the difference in strength and flavour.

Bear in mind that you will have to factor in the occasional rubber gasket replacement into your budget. The gasket I’m referring to is the one that seals the gap between the bottom part of the unit (the water reservoir and funnel holder) and the top chamber where the coffee ultimately ends up after brewing. Moka pot coffee falls somewhere between drip or filtered coffee and espresso. It is stronger than drip coffee but not as strong as the espresso from a 15-bar espresso machine.

I must confess that I have a little bit of an obsession for Italian food culture (especially as it pertains to coffee making), and one thing I was delighted to discover was that practically every Italian home has at least one or two Bialetti machines in various sizes. Ease of use is definitely one of the strong points of the Bialetti Moka Express; truth be told, there really isn’t anything complicated about using this coffee maker. While some claim that the highest quality percolators are made in Italy –which is no wonder, they are often simply called Italian espresso pots or ‘Bialetti’s’ –we don’t find this necessarily to be the case. On average, it’s fair to say that whenever it says ‘Made in Italy’ you can be rest assured the quality will be great, while China is more of a mixed bag. To boot, having an authentic Italian stovetop espresso maker does add to the charm a bit, doesn’t it? The operation is quite simple: Just fill the base of the coffee pot with cold water, fill the funnel with ground coffee, screw on the top part of the unit, and then place it on the stove top over medium heat.
