10 Best Moka Pots UK 2024 | Bialetti, Alessi and More

If there's a name you should look to for a quality Moka pot,  it's Bialetti. Their founder, Alfonso Bialetti, was the original inventor of the stovetop espresso maker, with the Moka Express made to the traditional octagonal design.

The 6 cup pot is made of aluminium for even heat distribution, resulting in the perfect brew every time. Plus, the ergonomic handle is placed in such a way that you shouldn't have any trouble pouring. If you're looking for a traditional Italian coffee experience, this is a must-buy!

For those looking for something suitable for an induction hob, this Moka pot from Groenenberg Espresso ticks all the right boxes. Not to mention, one that can be thrown in the dishwasher at this price point is an absolute steal!

As a general rule of thumb, smaller Moka pots make a better cup of coffee. So, out of all the stainless steel, induction-friendly options, this 2 cup pot will provide the best results. It also makes a great choice if you're after something to take with you when camping or travelling.

Having a cup of coffee isn't just all about the taste of the brew, but the full experience of pouring and enjoying that first cup. You won't be disappointed by this Moka pot's sophisticated design and the flavour of the coffee it produces.

The Pulcina Stovetop Coffee Maker by Alessi is the most aesthetically pleasing Moka pot on our list. It'll really make a statement when serving coffee to guests during a social gathering or after a meal. Even just being visible in your kitchen can add a touch of class to any room.

This is Alessi's first espresso maker and the winner of a Compasso d'Oro design award. So if you're happy to invest in a premium product, the stainless steel 9090 will reliably last you years. One customer even claims to have used his every day for the past 18 years! 

For a larger induction pot, this makes a great brew thanks to the enlarged base that helps to maximise heat distribution. The anti-drip spout and lever locking handle also avoid spillages, making serving coffee the enjoyable experience it should be.

If you're looking for a larger Moka pot that's suitable for an induction hob, but don't want to splash out, this option from John Lewis fits the bill nicely. The build quality is impressive for the price, and you won't have to worry about leaks or spillages either.

You'll really struggle to find an induction-safe, 6 cup moka pot at a cheaper price, so this really is a bargain. The only thing to keep an eye on is the fact that the handle is made of metal, so can get quite hot. 

This budget Moka pot from Le'Xpress is a great choice for those who are curious about espresso. This stovetop pot will allow you to upgrade your morning coffee over the usual filter or instant, without investing in an espresso machine.

Be aware that the quality of coffee isn't quite up to the same standards as a Bialetti or Alessi, but that shouldn't really be expected at this price point. What you do get is a competent stovetop that will make a fine espresso if you're just starting out!

There's a lot to love about this induction pot from Bialett. Whether it's the sleek design, or the combination of both aluminium and stainless steel to help you get the best of both worlds, it really is an impressive stovetop.

As good as Bialetti's designs are, we can't help but feel the price point for this 4 cup stovetop is a little high when compared to their other offerings. If you have an induction hob, however, and want a Bialetti, this is the best choice by far.

When it comes to design, we think that Alessi has everyone beat in the world of stovetop espresso makers, and this small 3 cup option continues that tradition. If you're after the best single or double espresso, the smaller the pot the better.

We love the cute design, but claiming to make 3 cups is pushing it a little if reviewers' comments are anything to go by. That said, if you're looking for a compact Moka pot that makes a great double espresso, then this is the one for you!

This stovetop espresso maker from The London Sip Store offers something a little different to the traditional Italian style Moka pots. In particular, it creates a cleaner coffee than its competitors.

Unfortunately, this cleaner texture can be a little off-putting to those expecting a rich and viscous traditional espresso. Some customers claim that the coffee is weak, preferring a stronger taste. However, if you prefer sweeter or lighter coffee-based drinks, it's definitely worth a try.
