About this deal

The Alessi 9090 solves this problem by using the handle which also functions as a clip that secures the chambers together tight enough with ease. The Bialetti Mini Express is a fun and almost novel way to brew and serve your moka pot in the morning. 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

Early last year, I switched from drinking leaf water (tea) to drinking bean juice (coffee) every morning. Something about living amidst a global pandemic, civil unrest, and an unmitigated climate crisis made me want to switch things up. Although often called an Italian espresso machine, typical stovetop brews a longer (albeit still strong) coffee, so when mixed with milk you are essentially adding around 3 or 4 times the amount of brewed coffee resulting in the wrong ratio of coffee to milk. What’s the final verdict on choosing the right Moka pot? You really do need to go for the smallest size possible that will fit your needs to avoid running into over-extraction issues. That could mean simply getting a 3-cup pot to create single-serving coffee each morning or something like the Bialetti 6-cup Moka pot or Bialetti Moka express 12 cup for more. However, there are some Mokapots that may better fit your lifestyle (if you want to brew 1 or 5 cups) or kitchen (Induction hob or gas).

Specifications

What does the size of a Moka pot mean? It’s important to know that we aren’t talking about traditional “cup” measurements when it comes to the Moka pot. The number of “cups” your Moka pot can produce represents the number of 50-milliliter espresso-sized cups that can be produced. First of all the style and design of this stovetop is different from others. The large base allows for maximum heat and stability on your hob. One Moka cup equals about 2 fluid ounces in American measurements. Keep in mind that exact measurements can vary. However, let’s take a look at the standard cup chart for a Moka pot: In 1933, Bialetti created the first moka pot in the world, which became not only the icon of early mornings for Italians, but also became popular all over the world. To prepare coffee with moka pot is extremely simple and fast: in a few minutes the wonderful coffee aroma spreads around the house and we are ready to enjoy the perfect taste of coffee.

Based on what you are looking for in a Moka pot will depend on whether the Bialetti is right for you. A 12-cup pot, like the Bialetti Moka Express 12 cup, won’t be the right choice for everyone. However, this could be the choice for you if you like to split a pot between a few people in the morning. A 12-cup pot is going to produce up to 25 fluid ounces per brew. If you rarely need to serve large groups, a 6-cup moka pot or smaller is advised. Brewing in batches for infrequent large gatherings is better than compromising taste with a large pot for small servings, or wasting excess coffee.The problem with trying to “customize” your serving for less coffee is that you’re going to have an over-extraction problem. This means that coffee taste, texture, and caffeine level are going to be “off.” The unique handle reminds me of a traditional Turkish coffee pot that you would sit on an open fire. Isn’t a coffee maker just a coffee maker? Anyone who thinks this way has probably never enjoyed a steaming, silky cup that’s been brewed by hand using a Moka pot. Coffee brewed in these little Italian pots actually doesn’t taste like coffee at all. If you do own an induction hob and you have your heart set on one of these then there is now the induction heat saucer that will act as a traditional electric stove. The 6-cup pot offers 10 fluid ounces of coffee, like the Bialetti 6-cup Moka pot. We are now finally getting to an output level that equals what is offered by the “traditional” coffee maker that so many people begin their days with.

We’ve been testing coffee makers since 2015, and think the OXO Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker offers the best combination of convenient features and delicious coffee. Since Bialetti is our recommendation — and the most popular brand — we’ve concentrated our size guide on their products.Alessi are a brand that creates and designs all of their products with style and functionality in mind. If you don’t have access to a measuring jug then the height and diameter of moka pots can help you determine which one you have. The hourglass shape means that the internal heater will stop filtering the coffee at exactly the right moment with no coughing and spluttering of over-extracted coffee at the end like other stovetops. However, aside from my experience, I am the founder of Batch Coffee Club, one of the UK’s most popular coffee subscriptions and coffee blogs. We get sent coffee from all over the UK to feature in our fortnightly despatch as well as testing and reviewing coffee equipment.
