Designed for design-conscious coffee lovers who appreciate the intersection of industrial aesthetics and traditional brewing, the Alessi Vite Induction Hob Espresso Coffee Maker provides a robust way to brew classic espresso at home. This moka pot features a unique screw-inspired shape and a magnetic steel base, ensuring it works on all heat sources, including modern induction hobs. While it delivers excellent, well-rounded flavor through its high-quality cast aluminium construction, users should note that the exterior texture requires careful maintenance to preserve its distinctive finish.

This could be due to a grind that is too fine, which may clog the filter, or insufficient water pressure; check that the seal is tight.
Ensure the top and bottom sections are screwed together tightly and that the rubber gasket is clean and free of coffee grounds.
Reduce the heat setting on your stove and remove the pot from the hob immediately once the coffee begins to flow into the upper chamber.
Verify that the pot is centered on the smallest hob ring or the designated induction zone for smaller cookware.
Before the first use, rinse the interior of the moka pot with hot water to clear any manufacturing residue and perform a test brew with coffee that you discard. For daily maintenance, always hand wash the pot using warm water and mild soap; avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could damage the unique grey and brown finish. Never place the unit in the dishwasher, as the high-pressure detergents and heat can oxidize the aluminium. Always ensure the threads of the base and the upper chamber are clean and dry before screwing them together to maintain a proper pressure seal.
