About the Brand
Bialetti was founded in Italy in 1919, and became a household name in 1933 when founder Alfonso Bialetti invented the Moka Express — the octagonal stovetop pot that put fresh, espresso-style coffee within reach of every Italian kitchen.
Instantly recognisable by the moustached "omino" on the box, the Moka Express has since sold more than 300 million units, making it the best-selling coffee maker in history.
Almost a century on, Bialetti remains the benchmark against which every stovetop coffee maker is measured.
The Product
The Brikka is Bialetti's answer to the one thing a classic Moka pot can't do: produce crema. A patented silicone pressure valve builds more pressure than a standard Moka Express, and with fresh, espresso-roasted coffee, it produces a shot topped with genuine crema and a noticeably fuller body.
It's built for anyone chasing something closer to real espresso from a stovetop pot. This is the Moka principle, pushed further.
Key Features
Patented Pressure Valve (Genuine Crema)
A silicone pressure regulator builds more pressure than a traditional Moka pot, producing a crema layer on top of your coffee when brewed with fresh, espresso-roasted grounds.
Anti-Condensation Lid Opening (Maximum Strength)
A small opening in the lid stops condensation dripping back in and diluting your coffee, keeping the final cup at full strength.
Full-Bodied Result Regardless of Beans (More Forgiving Than It Sounds)
Even without the freshest espresso-roast coffee, the Brikka's extra pressure still produces a noticeably fuller-bodied cup than a standard Moka pot.
Heat & Burn-Proof Silicone Handle (Safe to Handle Hot)
The handle stays cool to the touch even straight off the stove.
Aluminium Body (Fast, Even Heating)
Same durable aluminium construction as the classic Moka Express, built for years of daily use.
Who It's Built For
The Brikka is built for Moka drinkers who've always wanted crema without buying an espresso machine — and who are willing to use fresh, properly roasted coffee to get it. If a plain Moka pot has always felt like it was missing something, this is Bialetti's fix.
The closest a stovetop pot gets to a bar espresso — no machine required.
