Bialetti is an iconic Italian brand famous for the Moka Express stovetop espresso maker and a wide range of coffee brewing equipment.
Bialetti is an iconic Italian brand synonymous with stovetop espresso makers. Founded in 1919 by Alfonso Bialetti, the company revolutionized home coffee brewing with the invention of the Moka Express in 1933. The Moka Express, with its distinctive octagonal shape and the "Little Man with the Moustache" logo, remains a staple in Italian culture and kitchens worldwide.
Today, Bialetti Industrie S.p.A. offers a comprehensive range of coffee products, including traditional aluminum stovetop makers, stainless steel induction-compatible pots, electric espresso machines, and milk frothers. In addition to coffee makers, they manufacture high-quality cookware and kitchen accessories, maintaining a focus on combining classic design with modern functionality to deliver an authentic Italian coffee experience at home.

Wash your Moka Express by hand with warm water only. Do not use soap or detergents, and never wash it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the material and alter the taste of the coffee.
Classic aluminum Moka pots differ by model. Traditional aluminum models are not induction compatible unless used with a Bialetti induction adapter plate. Bialetti also produces specific stainless steel models (like the Venus or Musa) which are suitable for induction cooktops.
Bialetti safety valves are inspectable. If drinking water leaves calcium deposits, you can clear the blockage by moving the small piston that sticks out of the valve along its axis during normal hand washing.
This can happen if the heat source is too high or the coffee is ground too finely. Use a medium heat setting and ensure you use coffee grounds specifically ground for Moka pots.
Bialetti products generally carry a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects, provided the instructions for use and maintenance are followed. Keep your proof of purchase for validity.
