| Description | The 3-cup Moka Express is the most popular size of Bialetti's iconic octagonal stovetop brewer, unchanged in design since Alfonso Bialetti's 1933 patent. Aluminium construction with a pressure-relief safety valve, it is the quintessential Italian home espresso maker for one or two servings. | La Marzocco Linea Mini — the home version of the legendary Linea commercial machine. Dual boiler, saturated group head, PID, and rotary pump. The ultimate prosumer machine and collector's piece. |
