Offering a taste of Italy (although according to your taste good ground coffees from other countries will work well), this espresso coffee maker has been around for over 80 years and is still produced by the business that engineer Alfonso Bialetti established. The design is chunky and stylish giving it the look of efficiency and reliability which are two of its qualities. It, of course, makes excellent coffee.
The moka pot is made of aluminium, has an ergonomically designed bakelite handle and works with any cooking surfaces with the exception of induction.
If you are a frequent coffee drinker, at least daily, and expect consistency this is the pot for you. It is so simple to use and easy to clean in warm water but you are advised not to use soap or washing-up liquid. The thing to watch, to avoid any leaks, is simply to ensure the rubber washer is replaced the right way after the cleaning.
Users say that the well-designed easy pour spout does not drip. This is a big plus. They also like the comfort of knowing that parts can be replaced which adds to the product’s already very long life expectancy.
