BialettiTricolore Mokina Moka Express Hob Espresso Coffee Maker, 1/2 Cup

The Mokina is the smallest member of the Bialetti family, conceived, designed and built to offer you all the flavour of Bialetti coffee and all the kick of a ristretto. A miniature Moka Express that lets you make your usual coffee, only stronger. Treat yourself to a small, great pleasure whenever you want: the Bialetti half-cup Mokina is perfect for a quick break to savour down to the last drop or for when you need a burst of energy.

This Tricolore version of the mini Moka Express celebrates, even through its colours, the traditional Italian ritual of making a good cup of coffee.

Using a Bialetti Moka can be daunting to newcomers, but once you know the basics it's easy to produce a high-quality cup every time:

• Grind your coffee - freshly ground beans will give the best cup of coffee
• Add your water - fill the brewer to the line in the bottom of the brewer section
• Add the filter and coffee - insert the filter basket into the brewer, then fill the basket with coffee
• Attach the sections - screw the top and bottom of the Moka together
• Heat your coffee - place it on a moderately hot stove, angling the handle away from heat and leaving the lid open. Coffee will start to bubble into the top section
• Pour the coffee - once the coffee has stopped bubbling, pour it into your preferred mug

Be careful not to use too much heat when making the coffee - this can cause bitterness in the drink. Ensure you remove from the heat once the coffee starts emitting lighter coloured steam or the steam becomes audible, or the coffee may taste burnt.
