Bialetti Moka Express

Moka Express is the model that lent its name to the whole category of stovetop pressure coffee makers: in its own official materials, Bialetti presents it as the 1933 invention the company was built on. The body is stated to be aluminium, while the handle and knob are thermoplastic. The valve is described as 'easy-clean', designed so it can be cleaned without removing the boiler.

Bialetti states direct compatibility with gas and electric hobs; for induction, it specifies instead that the pot can only be used together with a separately sold induction plate adapter, so the pot itself is not built for direct induction use. The same page notes that the product is not dishwasher safe and recommends hand washing.

On the official page the product is offered in eight sizes, from 1 to 18 cups, covering both single servings and larger households. Beyond body material, valve, induction compatibility and dishwasher safety, no further point specifications such as dimensions or weight per size are listed.
