Brewing Stovetop
Made famous by Bialetti, the Moka pot forces pressurised steam through finely ground coffee. The result sits somewhere between espresso and filter — rich, bold and intensely flavoured.

What to look for: Stovetop suits coffees with bold, robust character and good body. Dark roasts and full-flavoured blends shine here, as do coffees with natural sweetness that can hold up to the intensity.
Our picks for stovetop
This is the one. Deep, dark and brooding — Costa Rican dark-roasted beans with Papua New Guinean magic. Through a Moka pot it becomes an intensely rich, bold brew that'll have your toes tapping. Best short over ice, or as the base for a stovetop latte.
The stealthy Colombian and Guatemalan blend delivers a punchy, smooth stovetop brew with real panache. Strong without being harsh — exactly what you want from a Moka pot.
The versatility of our flagship blend translates brilliantly — rich, smooth and satisfying with milk or black.
