The Mini Express pours straight into the cups rather than into a chamber you then pour from, which is the whole idea behind it.
Italia
The Italia finish carries the green, white and red of the tricolore. It is a direct nod to where the moka pot came from and to the coffee ritual built around it.
Brewed to the cup
Two spouts sit over two cup platforms, so the espresso lands in the cups directly and the cups warm on the plate while it brews. It makes a small ritual out of something that usually happens behind you at the stove.
Features
- Twin spouts that fill both cups at once so neither sits waiting
- Aluminium body with roughly 90 ml capacity, enough for two short blacks
- Cup platforms that warm the cups as the coffee brews
- Bialetti safety valve that releases excess pressure and lifts out for cleaning
- Suits gas, electric and ceramic cooktops
In the box
- Mini Express 2 Cup in the Italia finish
- 2 espresso glasses
Looking after it
Rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly after each use. Skip the detergent and the dishwasher, both of which strip the seasoning that builds up inside and keeps the coffee tasting as it should.
