Moca Cupra stainless steel stovetop espresso maker for induction Ibili

Moca Cupra moka pot: coloured stainless steel, induction-ready

The Moca Cupra by Ibili is an Italian-style moka pot made of 18/10 stainless steel with the body lacquered in Cupra copper, suitable for all hobs, induction included. Available in four sizes from 2 to 10 cups (100 to 460 ml), with a Bakelite handle that stays cool and an elegant copper finish that ages beautifully. It is the coloured version of the polished-steel Moca, the best-selling stainless moka pot in our Ibili catalogue.

Technical features

• 18/10 stainless steel body: durable, hygienic and with no transfer of flavours.
• Suitable for induction, ceramic, electric and gas hobs.
• Bakelite handle and knob: they insulate from the heat so you can serve safely.
• Safety valve and funnel filter, the classic features of a moka pot.
• Dishwasher safe (we recommend hand washing to preserve the exterior lacquer).

Works on induction

The Moca's 18/10 stainless steel is ferromagnetic and induction hobs detect it without any trouble. A tip from the shop: on hobs with large cooking zones, check the minimum detection diameter if you choose the 2-cup size — it is a small pot; from 4 cups upwards there is rarely a problem, and any size works on flexible zones.

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

Like every moka pot, it works by steam pressure: water in the base up to the valve, medium-ground coffee in the funnel without tamping, and medium-low heat. The advice we always repeat in the shop: take it off the heat as soon as the coffee starts to gurgle — letting it boil burns the coffee and is the number-one cause of bitter mokas. On induction use medium power: steel heats up quickly and needs no more.

Which size to choose?

The "cups" of a moka are espresso cups (about 50 ml). For 1-2 people, the 2- or 4-cup; for coffee-loving households, the 6-cup; the 10-cup (460 ml) is the option for gatherings or small offices. If you hesitate between two sizes, pick the smaller one: a moka performs better when full.

Ibili quality, with spare parts available

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

Good to know

• The Cupra copper is lacquered over the steel: avoid abrasive scourers to keep the finish.
• First time: brew one or two "sacrificial" pots and throw them away; the inside gets cured and the coffee comes out with all its aroma.
