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 Venus takes the Moka principle and rebuilds it in polished 18/10 stainless steel instead of aluminium, so it works on gas, electric, and induction hobs without an adapter. It brews the same rich, concentrated stovetop coffee as a classic Moka Express, in a body that's more resistant to wear and easier to keep looking new.
It's built for modern kitchens that have already made the switch to induction. This is the Moka experience, brought up to date.
Key Features
18/10 Stainless Steel Body (Durable, Modern Finish)
Polished stainless steel resists corrosion and wear better than aluminium, and keeps its shine with minimal upkeep.
Induction-Ready (Works on Any Hob)
Suitable for gas, electric, and induction cooktops without an adapter — the 2 cup size is the exception, and isn't induction-compatible.
Insulated Handle and Knob (Safe to Handle When Hot)
Heat-resistant grips let you lift and pour straight off the stove without needing a cloth.
Pressure Valve (Consistent, Safe Brewing)
A built-in pressure valve regulates the brew and adds a layer of safety to every 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.
Simple to Clean (Rinse, No Soap Needed)
A quick rinse after use is all it needs — no dishwasher required.
Who It's Built For
The Venus is built for anyone who wants genuine stovetop Moka coffee but has moved on from a gas hob — induction households, modern kitchens, and anyone who prefers the look and durability of stainless steel over aluminium. Choose the size that matches your household, since a Venus performs best filled to capacity.
The Moka experience, built for the kitchen you actually cook in.
