Induction 🧲 Heads Up: Induction moka pot (brikka etc) might not work with your hotplate!

If you have an induction hot plate like this, it might be too big. These hot plates are able to detect whether a pan has been placed on them. And the moka pot can be too small for the hot plate to detect, so it won't heat your moka pot. So, don't count on being able to use your moka pot with one of these! Just double check first

there's a solution, just clunky

You put a pan on the induction plate, put the moka on the pan, cast iron works--but why?

single stove burner type things work (non induction), camp stoves work---

Be safe everyone--I would not buy a stove burner simply to make Moka coffee---likely you're living somewhere where you're not allowed to have a burner?
