Moka Express is the original stovetop coffee pot, the one and only marked with the gentleman with moustache. It provides the experience of the real Italian way of preparing a tasteful coffee.
Bialetti shows its commitment to the environment by linking the iconic Moka Express to Oceana, a world organization dedicated to the protection of ocean ecosystems that puts the spotlight on the issue of single-use plastic pollution.
Moka Express, a 100% eco-sustainable coffee preparation method.
Zero waste: the only waste it produces, in fact, is 100% biodgradable and compstable.
Zero detergents: it does not require chemical detergents for cleaning, it can be cleaned only with water.
Timeless: it is a green investment as the coffee maker has a minimum life of 10 years and maintenance is reduced to the essentials.
Select a quality blend, suitable for the production of coffee for the Moka. Fill the boiler up to the lower level of the safety valve, without exceeding it and using fresh water, possibly low in limestone. | Fill the filter generously, without pressing the coffee powder, forming a small gutter and avoiding dust escaping on the edges of the boiler. Close the coffee pot, screwing the collector firmly onto the boiler and place it on the stove. | The flame must never envelop the coffee maker, but remain inside the bottom of the same, in order to allow extraction in adequate times and not too quickly. As soon as you start to hear the typical Moka gurgle, the coffee is ready and you will need to turn off the fire immediately. | Never let excess coffee boil: this would burn it, compromising its success and making it too bitter. Enjoy hot coffee, as soon as it is ready, remembering to mix the contents of the collector: the coffee extracted at the end, in fact, is less full-bodied than that leaked at the beginning of boiling. |
The gentleman with the moustache gracing all Bialetti products represents Renato Bialetti, the son of the inventor of the Moka, Alfonso. It was designed in 1953 by the Italian artist Paul Campani.
