| 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. | Bialetti Napoletana — the traditional Neapolitan flip drip pot. Heat on stove, flip when steam escapes, and let gravity drip water through the grounds. A pre-moka Neapolitan tradition still loved in southern Italy. |
