Review: Love It - I got the 6-cup green Rainbow Moka Pot. Bialleti rate their pots in espresso servings. My wife and I use the Moka when we want to make milk drinks. A 6-cup machine is about right for brewing 2 American-style coffees with milk. So this pot can brew anything from 2-6 servings depending on your usage. The green 6-cup Rainbow has a design that's a blend of retro and contemporary. It looks gorgeous alongside a classic KitchenAid blender if you like a slightly retro kitchen. It's an absolute piece of art, and it makes good coffee. Moka coffee historically was quite bitter due to boiling pre-ground dark Italian coffee quite hard. This lead people to call it "espresso". Moka is not brewed under much pressure, so it's not true espresso. What you get is a very concentrated small serving of coffee which draws strong flavors from the bean. If I brew the same coffee back to back in the Moka versus an Aeropress, the Aeropress is smoother and more balanced, but the Moka explodes with flavor like an espresso shot. They're very different experiences. My recipe for light roast: Grind coffee medium-coarse as for Aeropress. Put freshly boiled water in the base, use a towel to close. Heat pot over medium-low heat with lid open. Watch until pot sputters. Closw lid and run cold tap water down the side to arrest boiling. Pour into 2 mugs. For black coffee, dilute with water to taste. For milk drinks, do the same, and top with milk. Frother optional but recommended. I love the Moka Pot. They're very beautiful so you want to display it on your shelf. They're a little finicky if you want to get the best coffee from them, especially from lighter roasts. The Moka was designed for pre-ground dark roasts, which brew much more easily but produce an offensively bitter coffee to my tastes. If you instead use a good fresh ground specialty coffee and manage your heat, you can get an "espresso-like" cup for a fraction of the cost. Great for small shots or milk drinks. Highly recommended.
Review: Beautiful and functional - I bought this for my son as a gift. He loved it. It's well made, functional, brews quickly and easy to use. It's actually beautiful on the kitchen counter.

## Features

- The original moka coffee pot: Moka Express is the original stovetop espresso maker, it provides the experience of the real Italian way of preparing a tasteful coffee, its unique shape and the inimitable gentleman with moustache date back to 1933, when Alfonso Bialetti invented it.
- Made in Italy: it is Made in Italy and its quality is enhanced by the patented safety valve which makes it easy to clean and its ergonomic handle, available in many sizes and suitable for gas, electric and induction (with the Bialetti induction adapter plate)
- How to prepare the coffee: fill the boiler up to the safety valve, fill it up with ground coffee without pressing, close the moka pot and place it on the stovetop, as soon as Moka Express starts to gurgle, turn the fire off and coffee will be ready
- One size for each need: Moka Express sizes are measured in Espresso Cups, coffee can be enjoyed in Espresso Cups or in larger containers
- Cleaning instructions: The Bialetti Moka Express must only be rinsed with clean water after use, with no detergents, the product is not to be washed with a dishwasher as it will be irremediably damaged and the taste of coffee altered

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long to brew with gas stove ?**
A: Brew until all the liquid coffee is in upper chamber. The upper chamber pipe’s spout will emit a burbling sound. Gingerly lift the lid and you will see the coffee coming up. When it is done burbling up and the upper chamber is filled, turn off flame and serve.
With this special edition alpina, I would advise not to use it. Keep it as a special keepsake on display in the credenza. Be practical and buy a regular 6 cup moka for daily use. - you get your money’s worth time and again and you do not have to worry of any wear and tear on your alpina model. This is what I do. And if you have company get an 8 cup model. I use my 6 cup moka every day. My alpina stays pristine in on display in my credenza.  Hope this advice helps.

**Q: what color is this is it pale blue or the greenish color in the first pic?**
A: The greenish color. Pale turquoise, maybe?

**Q: Is this supposed to come with instructions? Mine did not.**
A: Yes, it should have. You can go online and search “ Bialetti Stovetop Espresso Maker instruction” and will find results including Youtube videos. Do Not wash with soap and water, but rinse well with water after each use.

**Q: Is this item available in the 6-cup size?**
A: Hello.... 

Unfortunately the Moka Alpina is ONLY made in a 3 Cup....and it’s limited edition and supply...

It’s a wonderful pot and looks great on any counter....It’s in my top 3 all time from Bialetti!!

But I kind of also would have liked a 6 Cup Model...

Any questions feel free to ask!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Game changer! No more pods!!
*by A***R on December 15, 2025*

Why did I wait so long to get one of these. I gave my Keurig away the day I got this. Excellent Italian quality. Italians never make crappy products. The coffee is so good. Smooth, full bodied and HOT. None of that cheap chemical luke warm crap from the PODS. I am so happy with this. Everyone should make coffee this way.
