Suitable for

• Preparing traditional stovetop espresso at home

This unit may not be suitable for individuals who require an automated, one-touch coffee experience or those who use induction cooktops exclusively, unless the specific model is compatible with induction surfaces. It is also not designed for those seeking high-pressure pump-driven espresso shots typical of professional commercial machines.

Key specifications

• Capacity: 6 cups
• Material: Durable metal construction
• Color: Black
• Brewing method: Stovetop

To use the Alessi Mokka, fill the bottom chamber with water up to the safety valve, insert the filter basket, and fill it with ground coffee without tamping. Screw the top section firmly onto the base and place the unit on a low to medium heat source. Once the coffee begins to flow into the upper chamber, remove it from the heat to prevent burning the grounds, ensuring a smooth and flavorful result.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the compatibility of your stovetop type with the base of the unit
• Ensure the 6-cup capacity meets your daily coffee consumption needs
• Consider the manual nature of the brewing process compared to electric machines

For the best results, use medium-fine ground coffee specifically intended for moka pots and always clean the device with warm water, avoiding harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers to maintain the finish.
