Q: 1st attempt out of the box and the handle started on fire. The base had water, the flame wasn't high enough to meet the edges. I'm saddened that this little pot died so tragically! I'll try again with another. Anyone else experience this?
submitted by PeachyHans - 4 years ago
A: I think the key is to place the base of the moka pot off the center of the burner rather than in the center of the burner. And also, place turn the handle to the outermost aspect of the burner top so it doesn't melt or get too hot.
submitted byPartyof5 - 3 years agoA: Wrap a good deal of aluminium foil on the handle to reflect the heat.
submitted byRahul_Does - 2 years agoA: Hi PeachyHans, I am sorry to hear about your first experience with the Moka. The handle is plastic and should not be exposed to high heat source. Please make sure you place the whole base on the stove, over a medium flame (heat source) and make sure the handle is pointed away for the flame, or to the side of the burner. please contact our customer service department with your experience. 800-421-6290
submitted byBradshaw Home - 4 years agoBrand expertA: As Bradshaw mentioned, try to keep the handle away from the heat source as it is plastic!

submitted byPam D - 7 years agoA: I use mine on a gas stove - but I see no reason why it wouldn't work on an electric stove...my assumption is as long as water is brought to a boil - it will work.
submitted byDeb - 7 years agoA: Yes, you can use it on an electric stove top.

Q: Is It dishwasher safe?
submitted by Alejandro - 3 years ago
A: Wash/rinse it by hand with hot or warm water. I recalled in another web site NOT to use dish detergent. Confirm my comment with the included instructions.
submitted byPostino - 1 year agoA: Hi there, no the Moka Express is not dishwasher safe. This should be washed by hand and hand dried to avoid oxidation. Hope this helps!

Q: Will this work on an induction stovetop
submitted by To be married - 6 years ago
A: I use it on an induction stovetop. It works well. Need to be careful not to drag the pot across the burner, though, so you don't scratch the glass.
submitted byjaneyq - 6 years agoA: The Bialetti website says it is NOT induction safe. :(

Q: Assuming I can make iced lattes easily with this unit?
submitted by Terri R - 6 years ago
A: It is very easy, it only takes about 4 minutes.
submitted byCoffee lover - 6 years agoA: It basically just makes hot espresso and then you can decide what to do with it after; if you want to throw it over ice and milk and make a latte.

submitted byBialetti Customer Service - 1 year agoBrand expert
Q: The instructions say, on the first use to make 3 cups of coffee and dump it out/don't drink it.. Seems like a waste of coffee. Does this really need to be done?
submitted by dereerised - 4 years ago
A: Yes, part or the moka is the “seasoning” of flavor, these 3 batches help start this. Also, as these items are shipped and moved before getting to you these 3 cup will help clean the insides. Please follow these steps. Hope this helps!
submitted byBradshaw Home - 4 years agoBrand expert
Q: Does it work to only make 1 or 2 espresso cups or do you have to fill it with water as shown in the video to get it to work properly?
submitted by NYRookie - 4 years ago
A: Thank you for your question. For the Bialetti Moka to work properly you will need to fill the water up to the valve as shown in the video. This will yield you 1 large mug of espresso or 6 espresso sized cups. If you have additional questions please reach out to a member of our team and they would be happy to help you. We can be reached Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM PST at 1-800-421-6290. Hope this helped!

After trying a neighbor's 3-cup bialetti, we invested in a 6-cup Bialetti so there was enough for two of us. It's important to remember the a cup is equal to 2 oz, so depending on how much you drink, buy a Bialetti that adds up to your cup size. It makes great coffee that's stronger than drip coffee but not as concentrated as espresso. It takes a little practice to brew a good cup. If you watch a video or two, it'll happen pretty quickly. The key things to know: 1) fill the water only to the bottom of the tank valve, the valve should be exposed to air, 2) fill the coffee grounds loosely and level it off to be flat, do not pack it down, 3) use medium heat, and 4) never walk away from your moka pot while its heating on the stove. One last note, this is NOT diswasher safe. All you need to do is rinse the parts once its cooled. You can brush or rub with a sponge every so often to remove build up but don't use soap as it can tarnish aluminum over time.
Great espresso maker!

The coffee actually tastes better. You have to use espresso ground, and I found it tastes better with this than in keurig, although I still use my keurig when I just want coffee. We bought a small electric burner so I didn't have to use the stove each time. The size 1 is basically a single shot of espresso and the 9 makes 14 oz. It's huge. The 3 would be good for small cups and the 6 should be good for larger mugs. I included a photo of a 1 and a 9.

Favorite way to make coffee. Easy to use, saves space, no need to buy filters and doesn’t require a plug since you use it straight on your stove. However, you do need to pay attention to it so you don’t burn your coffee. Pro tip: set a timer!
Missing part

I've used other moka pots in the past (which have worked perfectly! I love them) but this one didn't work at all. It seemed like the design was just a little different from the other sized mokas I had used in the past, so I kept assuming it was my error. I've tried off and on for months to get this one to work, and finally did some research - turns out the one I received was in fact missing a critical gasket seal. I can't tell if I should be disappointed in target or Bialetti - did I receive a returned product or did Bialetti goof? Either way, I've wasted a lot of time, energy, and fresh coffee grounds on this product for it to continue to fail me. A huge bummer.

I have others stove top expresso makers and I thought this one would be different and produce a more " frothy" coffee. Not the case , is the same as any of the other cheaper no brand ones.

This is, by far, the easiest way I've found to make a delicious espresso drink at home. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and I can take it with me when I camp or travel anywhere that has a stove top. I'm kind of a coffee snob and have tried using an espresso machine (too long to clean), French press (not quite right for espresso), and an AeroPress, and have found this to be a far better option.
very good

i really like this! i haven’t quite figured it out completely yet, but i still liked it. my only complaint is that u have to make the 6 cups of espresso (i think). what i mean is, i can’t just make 1 shot of espresso. but like i said, i haven’t quite figured it all out yet so i could be wrong!
Love it

I love our Bialetti Espresso Maker! It makes delicious espresso. It is easy to use and zero waste. I just watched a few videos online regarding how to use it. It’s pretty basic and straightforward. For anyone complaining about the handle melting or getting hot, you are 1) using too big of a burner and 2) using too high of heat. I use the smallest burner on my gas stove, and I keep the flame at medium-low. It takes 10-15 minutes to finish brewing. I plan on buying a larger pot in the future, the 9 or even 12 cup maker. Delicious!
Just what I needed!

I have used the more expensive expresso machines in the past and decided to go a little old school. So glad I did! This is the easiest and best espresso I've had in years! Such a great decision
10/10!

I opened this product and knew exactly what to do. Simple instructions and fast/efficient for one person use. The outside of the product gets extremely hot after heating so be careful when touching. You will have to wait until it cools down to make additional coffee. Otherwise, 10/10!

Bought this as a gift for my mom from Target, when we opened it up it was already heavily used like as if someone had bought a new one and returned an older (heavily used) version of the pot. There was a thick film all over it and it reeked of vinegar like someone had tried to clean (poorly). How on earth do you miss this if you are Target?

Fun coffee method! We had to learn this classic method, but once we did, it's a fun way to make an almost-espresso drink! Froth some milk and you have a fancy, strong coffee drink at home! Best with fine ground coffee, but not quite as fine as espresso. Just a tad coarser than espresso. The pot works just as expected. We have hard water and use Filtered water to make the coffee. But my water has left some spots from cleaning. Nothing that affects the coffee!

I own a well used 2 cup Bialetti stovetop moka pot and when I purchased it sveral years ago, I thought it was made in Italy because that is what is stated on the front of the pot. Turns out, it was made in China! I Bought this 6 cup size because it is apparently the smallest you can purchase if you want a Bialetti moka pot made in Italy. As you will see in the photo, the seal has markings around it. I could have overlooked this because of course the pot was going to be washed before use, but the seal is not tight. If you look closely you can see the gaps. The top of the pot does not screw on well either. I don't know what type of coating is used for the bottom of the pot, but it is certainly shiny... The last pot I purchased and returned (different brand) had what appeared to be the same type of coating and that coating yielded an undrinkable beverage that tasted like there was chemical solevant leaching. To be fair I have not used this pot. It's a shame, but it really seems like this is no longer a well made brand of moka pots. Perhaps this one slipped through the quality test. I will be returning it for a refund without putting it to use.

This is literally the best purchase I’ve ever made! Been spending a disgusting amount of money on stupidly expensive iced lattes and decided I should just try to make my own. Bought this with low expectations/confidence (in myself, not the product) and omg… so easy and SO DELICIOUS! Be sure to run it through a clear cycle just water the first few times. VERY user friendly; only three pieces total. Whole process to brew takes maybe 5-7 minutes which I honestly found super impressive! It tastes the same if not better than the chain espresso drinks! Buy it !!!
The original and still the best!

Simple and reliable, makes something in between espresso and drip coffee. I usually dilute mine 1:1 with hot water for my preferred strength.
