Bialetti Moka Express
The Bialetti Moka Express is an Italian aluminium stovetop coffee maker with over 100 years of tradition. Its octagonal base ensures even heat distribution for richer espresso, a significant upgrade from instant or filter coffee. Using ground coffee, water, and heat, it produces a thick, full-bodied espresso-style coffee with intense flavour. Bialetti's Moka Ground Coffee is recommended for an authentic Italian taste.
Cup sizes are based on the traditional 2oz (60ml) taza; for a standard mug, a 3 or 4 cup Moka Express is suggested, while the 6 cup is a best-seller for two mugs. This espresso base is ideal for beverages like lattes, which can be made by adding heated and frothed milk (even using a cafetiere and microwave). A 3-step guide to using the Moka Express is available, taking around 7 minutes including brewing time.
Suitable for gas and electric hobs, induction stovetops require a compatible Bialetti maker or adapter plate. Only ground coffee and water are needed; freshly ground whole beans (slightly coarser than espresso, finer than cafetiere) are best. Bialetti also offers pre-ground Moka Coffee. The durable Moka Express is designed to last, with spare parts like gaskets and filters (recommended replacement every 12 months) available. As the official UK partner, we can help source any parts. Water quality is important; filtered water is ideal to prevent limescale. If not using filtered water, clean with vinegar and water; avoid chemicals. Bialetti is a sustainable brand, producing durable aluminium makers and offering spare parts, eliminating the need for solvent-based cleaners.
Rather wonderfully, you’re buying directly from our brand partners: a lovely bunch of independent makers who pack and post every order themselves, from their own workshops, with tracking.
Each one sets its own postage, shown before you pay, and looks after any duties in its own way. Order from three brands and three parcels will arrive, which we prefer to think of as a birthday that lasts most of the week.
Within the UK: 2 to 5 business days
From further afield: 7 to 14 days, and frequently rather quicker
Returns go straight back to the brand that sent them, who will be delighted to help. As, frankly, will we.
Fourteen days from delivery to tell us you’ve changed your mind, and fourteen more to get it on its way back. No reason required, and we certainly won’t ask for one.
Do open it and try it on. Handle it as you would in a shop and we won’t quibble. Handle it as you would a rental car and we may deduct something for the difference.
Return postage is yours to pay, because the brand at the other end is a workshop rather than a warehouse. Some brands kindly cover it themselves, and if yours does, you won’t be charged. Whatever you paid us to send it out, we refund either way, and the money goes back the way it came within fourteen days of the parcel reaching the brand, or of you showing us proof of postage, whichever comes first.
A few things are made to stay with you: anything made or personalised to your order, sealed beauty products once the seal is broken, and anything perishable.
If something arrives damaged, faulty or not quite as described, none of the above applies. It costs you nothing, and we’ll sort it.
Simply email mail@brixbailey.com and we’ll guide you through it.
Lovingly packed and posted by Brew Italia themselves, with tracking. Each brand sends its own parcel, with postage shown before you pay. Changed your mind? Fourteen days, no reason required, and returns go straight back to Brew Italia, with us on hand to guide you. Delivery & returns
