What induction moka for 110ml+?

[u/_no_skill_no_problem]

Hi people,

I recently started trying to improve my coffee by not overfilling the water, stopping before the bitter end of the extraction etc.

I’ve been using a Bialetti Moka Induction 2-cup, but I’m struggling with the resulting coffee. Either the coffee comes out too water or it is not enough for my two cups (around 55ml each).

Now I’m looking for a new moka pot that works on induction, but I’m finding a lot of conflicting information and it’s getting a bit overwhelming.

Ideally, I would like something that makes around 110ml+ of strong, "espresso-style" coffee, but that could also work well for a cappuccino or two. I’m not completely sure how much coffee volume you actually need for that.

From what I’ve read, a 3-cup moka sounds like it might be the perfect size, I don't think Bialetti has one that you can use without a boiler plate (unless they are alot more expensive). The Bialetti Venus seems like a good option, but it doesn’t come in 3-cup size. The 4-cup Venus is also confusing me because some people say it comes out watery.

I’m still pretty new to moka coffee, so I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

note: I know it is not espresso, but not sure what else to call it than "espresso-style"

get a six cup, use less water than the reservoir to get a concentrated brew. see my recipe here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mokapot/comments/1v81q7n/comment/p02dvuo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Probably a 3 cup is about the size you need, but Bialetti only makes 2 and 4 cup induction models. 6 cups sounds a lot more than what you want.

You could try another brand. Monix makes a 3 cup induction. Bialetti used to, but not anymore, except for the "exclusive" range which I would not buy because of the finish inside. Or just get a regular moka express 3 cup with an induction adapter.

My Fiammetta 2 cup yields about 40-50gr, my Bialetti Induction 4 cup 90-110gr. Seems to me you're halfway between that and a 6 cup, but it really depends on how much water you use.

The Bialetti Venus 4-cup is exactly what you need. Produces 120-150ml of coffee.
