How to use

Verify that the handle is firmly attached and that the lid opens and closes without interference before using the coffee maker on a hob.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your coffee maker is the 1/2-cup Bialetti Moka Express model to ensure compatibility.
• Check the current fastening method (screws or rivets) to determine if additional tools or replacement fasteners are required.
• Inspect the pot body for other damage that might affect fitting, such as deformations near the attachment points.

Usage recommendations

After installation, hand-tighten any screws and test the handle with a small pour before regular use. Avoid placing the handle directly over an open flame; use the recommended hob settings for the moka pot and keep the handle clear of high direct heat to prolong its service life.
