FAQs

How do I clean the Moka Express?

Wash by hand with warm, soapy water. Avoid using a dishwasher.

What kind of coffee grind should I use?

Use a medium-fine grind, similar to what you'd use for a drip coffee maker.

Can I use the Moka Express on an induction cooktop?

Yes, but you will need to purchase a Bialetti induction plate adapter separately.

How do I know when the coffee is ready?

You'll hear a gurgling sound, and the top chamber will be full of coffee. Remove it from heat immediately.

What if my coffee tastes burnt?

Reduce the heat. The Moka Express can overheat if the flame is too high.

How often should I replace the gasket?

The gasket should be replaced when it shows signs of wear or leaks, usually every 6-12 months with regular use.

Can I make other drinks with the Moka Express?

The Moka Express is designed for making espresso. You can use the espresso to make lattes, cappuccinos, or other espresso-based drinks.

Troubleshooting

Coffee tastes bitter.

Use a coarser coffee grind or reduce the heat during brewing. Ensure you are not overfilling the coffee grounds in the filter basket.

Coffee is weak or watery.

Use a finer coffee grind or increase the heat slightly. Make sure you are using enough coffee grounds.

The Moka Express leaks.

Ensure the top and bottom chambers are screwed together tightly. Check the rubber gasket for wear and replace if necessary.

The coffee doesn't brew.

Check that the water level is not above the safety valve. Ensure the stovetop is on and providing enough heat.
