Bialetti - Moka Induction, Moka Pot, Suitable for All Types of Cookers, 4 Cups of Espresso (150ml), Black [Energy Class A+]

I know it's expensive for a Mokka pot but looks great, solid quality and we're convinced the coffee tastes nicer than in our old pot (probably trying to self justify the price tag 🤣)

Great. Works well on induction and makes a lovely coffee

After some regular and constant use this Bialetti induction coffee machine remains still the best one

It is a very smart moka pot but doesn't make coffee quite as strong as my old gas stove ones

Absolutely adorable and great value of money. Makes perfect coffee. Works on both induction and electric hob

This little guy makes the best coffee ever.He prefers to be heated on an induction stove (as his name suggests) but also works on a gas stove (you just have to watch the boiling a little closer as gas tends to be faster than induction, and balance on the gas metal grate.You fill the bottom with water (boiling water makes the process slightly quicker), and scoop your induction coffee grounds into the funnel looking part. The coffee to use is a specific kind, where the grounds are slightly finer than that used for a plunger coffee machine.You twist the top of him back on, and pop him on the induction stove (on heat setting 8 I usually do). I then leave him to brew until you have the best smelling kitchen and deliciously brewed, strong coffee. The induction heats evenly so there is not much of a wait and no brunt coffee.I don’t use it for every cup of coffee I make, but I find that making my morning coffee with this starts the day off just right!Only downside? No dishwasher or soap to clean. This is said to affect the taste of the coffee. So just a warm water rinse and kitchen towel wipe!

I had been using the traditional Bialetti moka pot with great success, however needed one to use on an induction hob. I was wary of purchasing the induction plate - reviews across various websites show them leaving marks on inductions hobs. While I appreciate this may be in large a result of user error I wasn't prepared to take the risk.It took a bit of trial and error to get the moka pot working well. This isn't because of any fault of the moka pot but the difference in how different induction hobs heat up etc. Initially I was trying to apply the same method I used with the traditional moka pot on a gas stove - boiled water in the chamber, filter paper and low-medium heat. This approach ended up with lots of spluttering and a really inconsistent flow of coffee. The next time I removed the filter paper from the equation but again used freshly boiled water and a low heat, assuming the filter paper was the issue - crudely too much steam was produced and again lots of spluttering and inconsistent flow and burnt smelling coffee. After a bit of googling, watching lots of videos I switched to not using boiled water in the chamber and used a medium heat (4.5/5, then lowered slightly as the coffee came through) which allowed for a steady flow of delicious coffee at last!I use an espresso dosing funnel/ring when putting the coffee in the filter tunnel to help limit the mess - this 2 cup model needs a 53mm ring (the traditional moka pot 2 cup needs a 51mm ring). If using filter papers the 51mm still remain the same for this model.The induction model is obviously heavier on the base and looks a bit more stylish than it's traditional bed fellow, yet achieves the same delicious results once the method is tweaked to suit your hob. It's also easy to clean with hot water.

I like the appearance and how well it is made. Everything fits so tightly too. I would say, however, that occasionally it leaks between the top and the boiler but I am unsure why. The moka funnel is quite small and it is easy to spill coffee when trying to fill it as I try to ensure the funnel is full, without pressing down on the coffee. I choose to use boiling water to fill the pot and so I have to use a cloth to secure the boiler when attaching it together. I always make sure to heat the pot on a low heat, as Bialetti recommend. James Hoffman videos on YouTube are excellent and have helped me to understand how to use the Moka pot properly.
