## Description

From the manufacturer The true essence of Italian coffee. Since 1919 From moka to coffee. From the TV show "Carosello" to our stock market debut. Our story is an Italian history that dates back over a century and is composed of gut feeling successful encounters, creativity and inspiration, as well as foresight and passion for coffee. The Moka is a part of us! It created the custom of spending time together with a cup of coffee - the joy of sharing a tradition. For almost 100 years, the Moka Express has been a symbol of Italian lifestyle. It stands for joy, being together, for love, for friendship and closeness. It's about the moment of sharing and enjoying, simply saying "I make coffee, who wants one?" Choose a high-quality coffee blend that is suitable for making coffee with the Mocha. Fill the moka kettle with fresh and low-limescale water to the bottom of the valve (not beyond). Fill the filter generously with coffee without pressing the coffee powder. Form a small poop and avoid overflowing the coffee powder on the edges of the moka kettle. Close the espresso maker by screwing the top firmly onto the moka kettle, and place it on the stove The flame should not extend over the side of the coffee machine, but only cover the bottom surface so that the coffee flows out at the optimal speed and not too quickly. Once the typical bubbling of the moka is heard, the coffee is ready and the stove can be turned off. Do not let the coffee cook for too long: This would otherwise burn and become too bitter. Enjoy the hot, freshly made coffee and remember to stir the liquid in the upper chamber: because the coffee that bubbles out at the end is less powerful than the one at the beginning.

Review: A perfect cup of coffee - I am moved to write a review of the Bialetti Moka Express 6 cup expresso maker as I don't recognise the comments from some of the poor reviews it has received. Overall the 210 5* ratings out of a total to date of 258 should speak for themselves and be enough of a recommendation. Follow the instructions that come with the Moka or that are available online and you should fine. I purchased this item new from desertcart in Feb 2009 and have used it multiple times a day since. I also have a second one which I keep at work. Both perform perfectly every time without fail and also spare parts are easily available. In all the time I have used the Mokas I have only needed to replace the rubber seal twice. I have never had a handle break but when assembling the two chambers together ensure that you do not use the handle as a lever because then it probably will fail. An important point to note is that the Moka is made from aluminium which may oxidise rather than rust if not taken care of properly. Wash it only using hot water and never use detergent. Dry it with a paper towel and ensure it is completely dry before putting it away unassembled. The Moka does not need to be on a red hot stove to boil with a low to medium heay should be sufficient. The Moka will improve over the years with age and use. Prove it prior to first use by brewing at least 3 times and throwing the coffee away. If your one has oxidised it may be rescued with water and vinegar but will need to be proved again before use. It is an expresso maker first and foremost so when cup size is stated it is refering to the little single expresso cups. The 6 cup size is suitable for one single average sized mug of americano style for which I use one heaped tablespoon of coffee. Again it is an expresso maker so use coffee ground for expresso use only however please note that it does not produce a crema. It is very important not to overfill with water or leave on the stove for too long. If the coffee boils then it will taste burnt and bitter. Also ensure no coffee grounds are caught between the rubber seal and the lower chamber. You will get to know when the coffee is ready by sound and smell. As soon as the Moka starts to burble and spit it is ready to come off of the stove. Wait for a few seconds to let it settle down and then pour for the perfect coffe. I am a big, big fan of this little coffee maker for its simple design, ease of use, longevity, availability of spare parts and for the fantastic coffee it produces.
Review: Perfect coffee - This was the original Caffettira created, it is brilliant and the coffe it makes is perfect (obviously use good quality coffee too). Best one I have owned.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much  milliliters of coffee i get from this maker (6 caps), because caps are different.**
A: The 6 cups, is for 6 espresso size cups, which are normally small. But as I said in my review, I use the 6 cup for making one large mug of coffee and there's normally a little bit left over.I've just filled it with water up to the mark & poured into a measuring jug and you will get roughly 275ml of coffee from this pot.Hope that helps?

**Q: How does it work?**
A: 1) Unscrew the top section from the bottom section.2) Remove the strainer from the bottom section.3) Fill the bottom section to around the level of the release valve you can see inside, with cold fresh water, preferably filtered.4) Replace the strainer into the bottom section.5) Spoon ground coffee into the strainer. About 2/3 full to begin with, depending on the strength of coffee you have or want. You can adjust this amount for stronger or weaker coffee next time if you want to.6) Screw back the top section onto the bottom section tightly. This needs to be quite tight to create a seal between the sections.7) Put the pot onto the stove and wait till it has boiled. You will hear it gurgle when it's done or almost done.8) Remove from the stove (be careful, it will be hot) and pour into heated milk or drink it black.NB I recommend immediately empty the coffee grounds and cleaning the pot after cooling it under running water. Remember to rinse the grounds from the seal too.Some smaller size percolators are too small for gas stoves. This can be remedied by buying a Gas Reducer Ring which bridges the gap and allows the pot to sit safely.

**Q: can the machine be used on a glass ceramic hob**
A: I use mine on a glass ceramic hob with no problems at all. In fact it heats the water quicker in my opinion.

**Q: Can I use this for 1 or shots of espresso or would I have to do 6 at a time?**
A: It doesn't work as well if you use less coffee or water than normal, but it's possible.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The classic Italian Moka machine
*by A***R on 7 May 2026*

A great Moka coffee machine. Only made a couple of coffees so far but really impressed with it. I made a perfect cappuccino today so I’m very happy.. Item comes in three parts. The base where you add the water, the middle where you add the ground coffee and the top where the coffee collects through the valve as it’s heated. A simple device but classic design.
