InduBasic moka pot: stainless steel for induction, hassle-free

The InduBasic by Ibili is an Italian moka pot / stovetop espresso maker made of 18/10 stainless steel, suitable for every hob including induction, designed for anyone who wants a reliable steel moka pot at the best price. Available in three sizes from 2 to 12 cups (100 to 500 ml), with a heat-insulating handle and a polished finish that goes with any kitchen.

Technical features

• 18/10 stainless steel body: strong, hygienic and with no transfer of flavours.

• Heat-insulating handle and knob: they stay cool when you serve.
• Safety valve and funnel filter, classic to the moka pot.
• Dishwasher safe.

Works on induction

The 18/10 stainless steel of the InduBasic is ferromagnetic and induction hobs detect it without any adapter. Shop tip: on hobs with large cooking zones, check the minimum detection diameter if you choose the 4-cup; the 6- and 12-cup rarely cause any trouble.

How to use it (and how to get the best coffee)

Water in the base up to the valve, medium-ground coffee in the funnel without tamping, and a medium-low heat. The tip we always repeat in the shop: take it off the heat as soon as the coffee starts to bubble up — letting it boil scorches the coffee and is the number one cause of bitter moka pots. On induction use medium power: steel heats up fast and needs no more. With that one move the result is a dense, aromatic espresso, extracted in just a few minutes, with no bitterness or scorched flavours.

Which size should you choose?

The "cups" of a moka pot are espresso cups (about 50 ml). The 4-cup for 1-2 people; the 6-cup for the daily coffee of a coffee-loving home; and the 12-cup (500 ml) for gatherings, guests or small offices. If you are torn between two sizes, choose the smaller one: a moka pot performs best with the funnel full of coffee and the boiler full of water.

InduBasic or Moca? The difference between the two steel ranges

Both are 18/10 stainless steel moka pots by Ibili suitable for induction. The InduBasic is the simple, economical option with a polished finish; the Moca range adds the ergonomic bakelite handle and the colour finishes (Rosso, Blue, Cupra). If you want the best value for money, InduBasic; if you want a touch more design, Moca.

Ibili quality, with spare parts available

Ibili has been making kitchenware for generations in Bergara (Basque Country). At Hiperchef, where we have sold kitchenware since 1977, we carry the whole Ibili range of coffee makers and their genuine spare parts (gaskets and filters): when the rubber loses its seal over the years, you change it in a minute and the coffee maker is as good as new.

Good to know

• If you prefer a steel moka pot with colour, take a look at Ibili's Moca Rosso, Blue and Cupra, also suitable for induction.
• First time: make one or two "sacrificial" pots and throw them away; the inside gets seasoned and the coffee comes out with all its aroma.
