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 Moka Express is the original — the exact octagonal design Alfonso Bialetti patented in 1933, made from the same durable aluminium, and still built to the same principle: water pressurised through grounds by heat alone, no electricity involved. Fill the base with water, pack the filter basket, and put it on the stove; a few minutes later you have a rich, concentrated coffee close to espresso in strength.

It's built for anyone who wants the real, unaltered Moka experience — the one that's been on Italian stovetops for nine decades. This is where stovetop coffee began, and it hasn't needed to change since.

Key Features

Original Octagonal Design (The Genuine Moka Express)

The same shape and mechanism Alfonso Bialetti patented in 1933 — nothing added, nothing simplified.

Pure Aluminium Construction (Built to Last a Lifetime)

Aluminium heats quickly and evenly, and a well-cared-for Moka Express is known to last decades of daily use.

Concentrated, Espresso-Style Coffee (Rich and Full-Bodied)

Steam pressure pushes hot water through the grounds for a strong, concentrated cup — dilute it for an Americano or drink it as is.

Eight Sizes Available (From Solo Cups to Big Groups)

Ranges from a 1-cup pot for a single espresso-strength serve up to an 18-cup pot for a full table of guests.

No Electricity Required (Stove, Camp Fire, Anywhere With Heat)

Works on any gas or electric hob, and travels just as well to a campsite as it sits on a kitchen stove.

Simple to Clean (Rinse, No Soap Needed)

A quick rinse and wipe is all it needs — no dishwasher, no abrasives, and the coffee oils that build up over time are said to improve flavour rather than harm it.

Who It's Built For

The Moka Express is built for anyone who wants the traditional Italian stovetop ritual, not a shortcut to it — home brewers, purists, and anyone who grew up with one of these on the stove. Choose the size that matches how many people you actually brew for, since a Moka Express performs best filled to capacity.

Ninety years old and still the standard — some things don't need reinventing.
