What is the difference between an aluminum and stainless steel moka pot?

Aluminium moka pots, such as those from Bialetti, are lightweight, heat up quickly and give the coffee a specific taste. Stainless steel is more durable, does not corrode and is also suitable for induction cookers, making it a more versatile choice.

How to choose the right size moka pot?

Choose the size according to the number of cups you want to prepare. Smaller pots (1-3 cups) are ideal for singles or couples, medium (4-6 cups) are great for families, and large (9-12 cups) are great for larger groups of coffee lovers.

Can I use a moka pot on an induction cooktop?

Most moka kettles are suitable for gas, ceramic and halogen. If you use induction, make sure you have a stainless steel teapot that is compatible with this type of heating.
