Glass Moka Pot with Borosilicate Chamber and Steel Base, 4 or 6 Cups

A stovetop moka pot with a clear borosilicate glass top, so you watch the coffee climb into the chamber instead of listening for it. Underneath sits a polished 430 stainless steel base that works on induction, ceramic, gas and electric cooktops, and it comes in a 4-cup or a 6-cup size.

No guessing. No lifting the lid to peek. No scorched last spoonful sputtering on the burner. Fill it, set it on the heat, and take it off once the coffee is in the glass.

You can see the moment it is ready

You already know how a moka pot works: water in the bottom, ground coffee in the funnel, heat until it comes through. The trouble is that it comes through inside a closed metal pot, so you either stand over it with the lid up or you wait for the gurgle. By then you are usually a few seconds late, the last of the water has scorched the grounds, and the cup turns bitter.

With a glass chamber, that moment happens in front of you. You see the first coffee leave the steel stem in the middle, you watch the level rise with a layer of crema on top, and you take it off the heat within a minute of it reaching the glass. That is exactly when it should come off, and now you know when that is.

Glass on top, steel where the heat is

Only the base sits on the burner. It is 430 stainless steel, polished to a mirror finish, a smooth rounded bell with a small brass safety valve set into its side. The glass chamber stands above it in a short steel collar that screws onto the base, so the glass sits well clear of the burner.

The chamber is high-borosilicate glass, which is heat-resistant, and it is completely clear, so the stem and the filter plate at the bottom are in plain view. A flat stainless steel lid closes it, and a black thumb lever on top of the heat-safe handle lifts it when you want to look in or pour from the spout.

One pot for whichever cooktop you have

Plenty of moka pots will not run on an induction cooktop at all. This one runs on induction, ceramic, gas and electric cooktops with no adapter plate, so it keeps working if you move house or replace the stove. It is just as at home on a small camping stove beside the tent as it is in the kitchen or the office.

Cleaning is just as easy. Unscrew the base and it comes apart into three pieces, the base, the filter funnel and the glass chamber, so each one gets a proper rinse in warm water. The clear glass shows you straight away whether any grounds are left behind.

The 4-cup suits one or two people in the morning, and the 6-cup makes enough for the table; exact capacities are in the specifications. Either way, the best part of the brew is the part you can finally see.
