If you love the smell of caffeine in the morning, this handy coffee maker could offer that cup of hand-made, java-induced bliss you crave.
Say hello to the Bialetti Moka Express, a moka pot that was launched in 1933. This iconic coffee maker has remained mostly unchanged since then and its iconic shape has become virtually synonymous with stovetop-brewed coffee.
WHY MOKA POTS COULD WORK FOR YOU
If you’re just becoming serious about java, moka pots are an affordable entry point into the world of coffee appreciation.
Moka pots like the Bialetti Moka Express – which is currently discounted on Amazon Japan – also make good secondary brewing devices. They’re capable of brewing a strong cup of coffee but offer a different flavour and body since they generate lower pressures than espresso machines.
Bialetti Moka Express, Green/Red, 3-Cup (S$40.52; Usual Price: S$65.90)
This coffee maker is a genuinely iconic design statement piece that brews up to three cups of coffee. This is perfect for couples, small families or someone who wants a small coffee maker they can pack on their travels. The aluminium pot can be used on all types of burners and stoves, except induction cookers.
WHY BUY ONE?
The Moka Express’ sheer simplicity makes it a durable device. It has just three main components: A bottom chamber which is filled with water, a filter for the coffee grounds and top chamber which extracts the coffee.
All it needs a stove or burner to brew a cup of coffee. This also makes it a good outdoor and travel companion, producing consistently good coffee wherever you are.
Its small footprint also makes it worth considering if space on your kitchen counter is at a premium or you don’t like bulky appliances.
GET IT IF:
- You’re looking for an affordable entry point into the world of coffee appreciation that doesn't take up a lot of space
- You’re already a coffee afficionado who wants a secondary device to brew a different style of coffee
- You want an easy-to-use, durable device that you can pack on your travels
The Bialetti Moka express works as an affordable, durable, brew-anywhere coffee maker that also makes a good travel or adventure companion. Even if you’re unlikely to bring it camping – or even a barbecue pit – near you, it still makes a stylish addition to any home.
