[Product Appeal & Recommended Points]
●Design with Tradition and History
The Moka Express, born in Italy in 1933, is a masterpiece imbued with the tradition of aluminum casting established by its founder, Alfonso Bialetti. Its simple yet sophisticated octagonal shape showcases the craftsmanship typical of Italian design.
●A Global Icon
The design of the Moka Express is so highly regarded for its beauty and perfection that it has been selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, USA.
●Large Capacity × Practicality
With the ability to brew 12 cups at once, it is perfect for family gatherings or when serving guests. It is also suitable for parties or office use.
●Flavor Unique to Stove-Top Brewing (Moka Pot)
The traditional stove-top extraction method uses steam pressure to produce a rich and flavorful “moka.” Without the need for electricity, it can be used on a gas stove or even a camping burner, making it ideal for outdoor use.
●Simple to Use
Operation is straightforward: fill the tank with water, place ground coffee in the basket, and heat on low flame. The safety valve ensures peace of mind even for beginners.
●Easy Cleaning & Maintenance
After use, let it cool, disassemble, and rinse lightly with lukewarm water. Avoiding detergent preserves the “coffee oil film,” which maintains the coffee’s aroma and flavor.
●Versatile for Creative Coffee Drinks
Pour frothed milk into the rich coffee brewed with the Moka Express to make cappuccinos or lattes. Pouring hot coffee over ice cream creates the classic Italian dessert, affogato.
●Durable and Portable
The aluminum body is lightweight yet highly durable, making it suitable for outdoor and camping use. Its ability to deliver authentic coffee without electricity is a major advantage.
