FAQs
Can I use this on an induction stovetop?
Standard aluminium moka pots are not magnetic and will not work on induction unless you use a compatible induction adapter plate.
How many cups does this actually make?
This is a 6-cup model with a 290ml capacity, which typically refers to espresso-sized servings.
Is it safe to put in the dishwasher?
No, this espresso maker is handwash only to protect the floral design and the aluminium surface.
Why does the handle feel warm?
While the handle is designed to stay cool, ensure the flame on your gas stove does not extend beyond the base of the pot, as this can heat the handle.
Should I tamp the coffee grounds?
No, you should fill the funnel level with grounds but do not press or tamp them down, as this can cause excessive pressure.
Troubleshooting
Coffee leaking from the middle thread during brewing
Ensure the device is screwed together tightly and the silicone gasket is seated correctly without debris.
Coffee tastes burnt
Reduce the heat intensity on your stovetop and ensure you are removing the pot from the heat as soon as the brewing process finishes.
Water not rising into the upper chamber
Check that the filter basket is not overfilled or packed too tightly, and ensure the safety valve is not obstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using for the first time, rinse the unit with warm water and perform a 'test brew' with water only to clean the internal components. This device is compatible with gas and electric stovetops. If using an induction hob, a heat-diffusing adapter plate is required as aluminium is non-magnetic. For cleaning, always unscrew the device and rinse the upper and lower chambers thoroughly with warm water. Do not use abrasive scrubbers on the floral finish, and ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling to prevent oxidation of the aluminium.
