A modern update of Bialetti's iconic Moka Express coffee maker. Stylish and practical, the Venus model is compatible with induction stovetops, as well as traditional stovetops. This version is made of solid materials with a thick boiler for strength and quality and a non-slip and anti-scalding handle that's ergonomic and comfortable to hold.

Using a Bialetti Venus is the same as using a Bialetti Moka Express - this 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 together
• Heat your coffee - place it on a moderately hot stove, angling the handle away from heat if not an induction stove, 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.

Induction compatible: Choose a small induction ring but it must be wider than the base of the coffee maker. Do not use your hob's Flex function or Flex induction zones.

Bialetti's Venus coffee maker is available in the following sizes.
