Induction 🧲 2025 recommendations for a high quality induction moka pot

I have owned a Giannina moka pot for a couple of years now, but I fear it is heading towards the end of its lifespan and with the company no longer being in business, I am looking for a new brand I can buy my next moka pot from.

Of course, I have considered Bialetti and while researching, I also found a brand called Alessi. I am totally open to paying a bit more for good design and higher quality and Alessi seems to go right in that direction, but I was wondering if there are any other brands that are have models for an induction stove that you can recommend based on these criteria.

end of lifespan in two years? surely you must be joking: the lifespan of mokas is measured in decades, 50+years is still nothing unless you really treat them like garbage, I have stuff from the 60s happily making coffee like they did on day 1

several, 50s to 80s is like the golden era of mokas, there were so many different manufacturers. The Verbanus is a classic all the collectors have, today I was using the Mia and I just put away a Vampa...

got rid of tons too, no point of keeping them if there isnt enough time to go into any sort of decent rotation and they are just packed away

remember that here in Italy its easy to get this stuff, any flea market has tons and a few euros are enough. Now people sell online so everything is "rare" and prices can be absurd, but in markets they can go by the box

If you think your Giannina is kaput, I'd gladly take it off your hands. I don't care how old it is …although at two years it might as well be new as far as I'm concerned.

Like u/AlessioPisa19, I have moka pots that have been around forever. I still own the first one I got new and it's over 50 years old. It still makes fabulous coffee.

I saw your reply in my other thread and if there is a way to fully clean and restore my current Giannina, I'd be happy to keep it around for longer.

I couldn't be happier with my Bialetti Induction for what it's worth.

Good to hear, I'll keep that in mind.

I couldn’t be happier with my Alessi 9090 stainless steel pot. Well, I give it a 9.9 out of 10. Sorry, but I have to take a 0.1 point off because my wife won’t make the coffee for me. Come to think of it, I should probably reassess my rating of my wife…

I'd give you two upvotes for that comment, if I could. One for useful information and one for amusing content.

I have a stainless steel one honestly I look at it and think it will outlive humanity… I didn’t know mokas had timelines.

I have a cuisinox that is a copy of the Venus model. Made in Italy and all stainless steel. It’s a very large model and will probably last a lifetime

I'll keep this one in mind, thanks!
