The iconic Bialetti Moka Exclusive, now built for induction.Same bold Italian design, engineered for the modern kitchen.
Where the original Moka Exclusive is crafted from food-grade aluminium for stovetop use, the Induction Desert edition has been re-engineered with a bi-layer boiler. The exterior is stainless steel for full induction compatibility, while the interior remains aluminium, so your coffee brews against the same material that made the original a classic. No converter plate required.
The result is the same iconic silhouette, the same rich and aromatic espresso, now available to every kitchen, on every hob. Bialetti's distinctive eight-sided shape diffuses heat evenly to enhance the aroma of your coffee.
Please note, the cup size refers to anespresso cup which is approximately 30mls.

*Approximate Brewed Coffee Volume - The actual volume of brewed coffee is dependent on the volume of water and the grind or type of coffee added to the pot prior to brewing.
Before First Use:
Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, it’s a good idea to wash all the parts in hot water first. The Bialetti Moka is NOT dishwasher safe.
We recommended that you throw away the first 3 brews.
It’s really important that you don’t use the handle while unscrewing as this can cause the handle to break.
Making Coffee:
Watch the video on making stovetop espresso or see below...
Fill the base with water to just below the level of the safety valve. Be careful not to overfill as the air in the space between the water and the coffee filter is what heats and forces the water up through the coffee. If the water tank is overfilled the result is boiled coffee, with a bitter or burnt taste.
Insert the funnel.
Loosely fill the funnel with your favourite ground coffee. (We recommend a medium-fine grind. Medium-fine will feel gritty when rubbed between your fingers, not powdery).
Screw the top section firmly to the base.
Place the coffeemaker on a low to medium heat. When using on gas adjust the flame so that it does not extend up the side of the pot.
It takes only 3 - 6 minutes, depending on the size of the coffeemaker and the intensity of heat, until it’s ready to serve.
Remove immediately from the heat once coffee pot is full. Do not allow to boil and do not put on full heat as this may cause the coffee to have a burnt taste.
Dissemble and hand wash in warm water.
Periodically clean the internal sides of the column in the top part of the pot ensuring no build up of coffee residues.
Suitable for use on induction, gas, electric and ceramic hobs.

Bialetti sizes refer to espresso cups NOT standard NZ cups. A 2-cup model makes two espresso-sized cups of around 30ml each.
A moka pot should always be brewed full, as under-filling the water or coffee affects the pressure and the quality of your brew, so choose the size that matches your usual serve. As a guide, a classic flat white uses around 2 cups of stovetop coffee topped with frothed milk. Many households keep two sizes of stovetop on hand — one for every day, and a larger one for when guests visit.
Stovetop coffee is espresso-style: rich, intense and full-bodied, but brewed at a gentler pressure than a commercial espresso machine, so it has its own character. It's how Italians have made coffee at home for over 90 years, and it can be drunk as an espresso, or you can add hot water for a long black. It also makes a beautiful base for a flat white or latte — just add silky frothed milk from a Bialetti milk frother (see Milk Frothers & Accessories – Bialetti). If you love crema, check out the Bialetti Brikka's special valve which produces a rich golden crema, the closest a stovetop gets to bar-style espresso (at Bialetti Brikka).
Yes — this model works on all cooktops, including induction, gas, electric and ceramic. Please check that the base size works for your specific induction stovetop (details will be in your stovetop manual). The only exception to this is the Bialetti Venus 2 Cup (standard and copper).
Yes, we have a range of ring and filter sets and funnels for Bialetti models, and we have replacement glass inserts for Bialetti Coffee Presses. Check out our spare parts at https://www.bialetti.co.nz/collections/spare-parts.
