The Alessi Vite Moka Pot is an ideal choice for design enthusiasts and coffee lovers who appreciate the intersection of industrial sculpture and daily utility. Designed by Philippe Malouin, it offers the benefit of a full-bodied, rich espresso extraction while serving as a bold aesthetic centerpiece for your kitchen. While its unique screw-inspired geometry provides a distinct look, users should note that the aluminium construction requires hand-washing to maintain its finish and structural integrity.

No, the Vite Moka Pot should be washed by hand with warm water and mild soap to protect the aluminium finish.
Yes, the pot features a magnetic steel base specifically designed to be compatible with induction cooktops.
A medium-fine grind, similar to table salt, is recommended for the best flavor extraction.
The main body is made of aluminium for brewing efficiency, while a special magnetic steel plate is embedded in the base to enable induction heating.
It is recommended to check the gasket for wear or hardening every 6 to 12 months, depending on frequency of use.
Check that the filter is not clogged and the coffee grounds are not packed too tightly. Ensure the pot is screwed on tightly to create a proper vacuum seal.
Turn off the heat immediately. Let the unit cool down completely, then check that the rubber gasket is intact and clean of any coffee grounds.
Lower the heat source intensity. Once the coffee begins to flow, the heat should be reduced to its lowest setting to prevent the grounds from scorching.
Before your first use, wash all parts with warm water and a mild detergent to remove any manufacturing residue. When assembling, ensure the gasket is seated correctly within the upper chamber to prevent steam leaks.
Compatibility: The base is suitable for induction, gas, electric, and glass-ceramic cooktops.
Care Instructions: Always hand-wash the unit with water and a soft sponge. Never use harsh abrasive cleaners or steel wool as these can scratch the aluminium surface and degrade the finish. Allow the pot to dry completely in a dissembled state before storing it to prevent oxidation or stale coffee odors.
