| 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. | Moccamaster KBGV Select — the fully SCA-certified version with adjustable flow rate for 1- or 10-cup brewing. Dutch-made, 5-year warranty, and the same legendary brewing quality as the classic KBG. |
