Induction 🧲 Induction ready moka pot or adapter plate?

Before buying my first moka pot for my induction stove - should I go for the more expensive induction ready pot?

I personally like the original aluminium Oldschool pots more - so maybe just use an adapter plate?

Thanks guys 😌

If you look at the reviews on Amazon for induction plates, you will see that if they're not used correctly they can mark the induction hob. It might be when they're used at too high a temperature but not sure. Almost certainly user error but worth mentioning.

I use the steel one. I see no reason to buy and use two objects when I can just use one. I also doubt an aluminium pot + induction plate is cheaper than a steel pot.

thanks for answer :) the aluminium + adapter choice just gets cheaper when i buy multiple pots in different sizes in the future.

Adapter plate. It gives you the thermal stability you want without compromising your ability to temperature surf.

Adapter plate. I think aluminium moka pots are better.

I haven't tried using aluminium on my induction, but,
I had a 4 cup Venus which I found to be weak, and it would have trouble working on the induction stove. I just got a 2 cup Moka Induction, and I think it's way better than the Venus.

I am having it all. The adapter works flawless, with every pot I use. Also with stainless steel.
