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?
A: 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 - 5 years agoBrand expertA: As Bradshaw mentioned, try to keep the handle away from the heat source as it is plastic!
submitted byBialetti America - 2 years agoA: 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 - 4 years agoA: Wrap a good deal of aluminium foil on the handle to reflect the heat.
submitted byRahul_Does - 3 years agoA: Boil the water first, add it to the pot with the coffee and put it on medium heat until you hear it finish.

Q: Can you use it on an electric stovetop, or does it have to be a flame-gas top?
A: 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 - 8 years agoA: Yes, you can use it on an electric stove top.
submitted bythisisthis - 8 years agoA: Yes you can use it on an electric stovetop! :)
submitted byBialetti America - 2 years agoA: I use ithe on my electric stovetop all the time - love it!

Q: Is It dishwasher safe?
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.

Q: Will this work on an induction stovetop
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 - 7 years agoA: The Bialetti website says it is NOT induction safe. :(

Q: Assuming I can make iced lattes easily with this unit?
A: It is very easy, it only takes about 4 minutes.
submitted byCoffee lover - 7 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.

Q: Does this come with a silicone gasket? A smaller moka pot I bought has it but this version doesn't. I'm wondering if the one I bought is missing the piece or if it is designed differently.
A: They should have one included. You can buy replacement ones too.

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?
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!

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?
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.
