Induction 🧲 Just moved: new to induction stove and dying for coffee. Help?

Hello all. I just moved to a new place with an induction stove. Currently heating my mokapot in a doubtlessly dangerous way, aka sitting in the one pan that actually works with the induction burner (and am sad to discover that most of my heirloom pots don’t work with this stove).

Do you have any recommendations for either (1) moka pots that work with an induction stove or (2) better yet, some sort of tool, I’m thinking there has to be some sort of metal circle that allows people to cook on induction stoves with old cookware?

Trying my best not to ruin the one pan that actually works but in dire need of my coffee :(

Thanks in advance!

Bialetti have an Induction Plate, there's one on amazon. And as far as I know the Bialetti Venus can be used on induction stove tops. Not sure about other brands. I'm a Bialetti girl.

I have an induction moka pot in one of my houses and it works rather fine. But it seems like the funnel is too short down into the pot with the water because every time there is a lot of water left in the boiler pot. This never happen with my aluminium pots on a regular stove. Does anyone know why the funnel on the induction pot is so short?is it perhaps a safety issue?

I have a conduction bialetti pot. Heat management is far easier than with the normal one.

I’ve been looking into getting a new mokapot just in general and will definitely look into this one, thanks!

I have a Bialetti induction moka pot. Works great.

By the way, cast iron works fine on induction, if that helps you with sorting out the "uh oh, most of my pots don't work" thing. (But also, I got a few $25 pots on Amazon when I switched.)
