The Original Moka Express, Sized for Sharing

The Moka Express was introduced by Alfonso Bialetti in 1933, bringing a simple stovetop brewing method into Italian homes. The familiar eight-sided aluminum body remains central to its design, along with the little man with the mustache that has become Bialetti's signature.

The 18-cup version provides approximately 810 ml, or 27.4 fl. oz., of brewed moka coffee. Bialetti's cup measurements refer to small Italian coffee servings rather than full-size American mugs. This larger model is particularly useful when several people want coffee at the same time or when preparing concentrated coffee to serve with heated milk.

Brewing is straightforward. Water heats in the lower chamber, rises through ground coffee in the funnel filter, and collects in the upper chamber ready to pour. The aluminum construction works on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops, while the heat-resistant handle and integrated spout make serving manageable even at this larger capacity.

From Our Founder

"The 18-cup Moka Express is a useful choice when a smaller stovetop pot simply doesn't make enough coffee. It keeps the familiar Bialetti design and brewing process but provides enough for a table of guests. I particularly like it for serving small coffees after a meal or preparing a larger quantity of moka coffee to enjoy with milk."
