Bialetti Moka Express Italia

The Bialetti Moka Express Italia 3 Cup Stovetop Coffee Maker brings a splash of national pride to the classic Bialetti design, with panels finished in green, white and red to reflect the colours of the Italian flag. It's built on the same octagonal shape that's been used since the original Moka Express was first made back in 1933, so you get the heritage and reliability of the traditional pot with a bit more visual personality on the stovetop or benchtop.

How the Bialetti Moka Express Italia 3 Cup Stovetop Coffee Maker Works

Brewing with this stovetop coffee maker follows the same tried-and-tested method as any moka pot. Water goes into the lower chamber up to the safety valve, ground coffee sits in the funnel basket above it, and as the water heats, pressure forces it up through the grounds and into the top chamber. This 3-cup size yields around 90ml of concentrated, espresso-style coffee, making it a good fit for solo brewing or for two people sharing a smaller pour.

Why Choose This Stovetop Coffee Maker

The body of the Bialetti Moka Express Italia 3 Cup Stovetop Coffee Maker is made from aluminium, while the handle and knob are finished in thermoplastic, keeping them cool to the touch during and after brewing. It includes Bialetti's patented safety valve, which is straightforward to check and clean, helping the pot perform consistently over time. It works on gas and electric stovetops, and can be used on induction cooktops only with a separate Bialetti induction adapter plate.

Care is simple: rinse the pot with water after each use rather than using detergent, and avoid the dishwasher, since this can affect both the finish and the taste of the coffee over time. With no filters, pods or power cords required, it's an economical, low-waste way to brew coffee at home, and the tricolore styling makes it a popular gift for anyone with a soft spot for Italian design.
