Yabano Cafetiere italienne Moka Pot, 350ml Stainless Steel Stovetop Coffee Maker

For a morning espresso at home or coffee while camping, the Yabano stovetop moka pot brews ground coffee using heat rather than an electric brewing cycle. Its 350ml capacity makes up to six espresso cups, while the stainless steel body and flat base suit a range of cooking surfaces.

A heat-insulated, wood-effect handle and pressure release safety valve add practical details for everyday brewing. The manual design keeps the process straightforward: fill, heat and pour.

The essentials

This moka pot is made from stainless steel and has a flat 11.7cm base designed for induction hobs. It can also be used on gas, ceramic and electric stoves, as well as portable camping cookers, giving you flexibility to brew in the kitchen or outdoors. Its 350ml capacity is stated as up to six espresso cups, useful for serving several small coffees or making a base for drinks such as cappuccino and flat white.

To brew, add cold water to the lower chamber, keeping it below the safety valve. Fill the funnel with medium-fine ground coffee, then screw the upper chamber firmly onto the base. Heat over a medium to low setting and remove the pot once the brewed coffee has collected in the upper chamber. The integrated brass safety valve releases pressure, and the tapered pouring spout helps direct coffee into cups neatly.

Unlike an electric coffee maker, this manual moka pot works directly on a suitable heat source, making it a practical choice when you want stovetop brewing or a portable option for a camping cooker. Buyers have also praised its appearance and quality, with comments highlighting its polished look.

Care & maintenance

The three-piece design separates into the base chamber, funnel and upper collector, so the parts can be rinsed under warm running water after use. The moka pot is not dishwasher safe, hand-rinsing makes it easy to clear away used grounds and prepare it for the next brew. Let the parts dry before putting the pot away.

For a tidy pour, use the tapered spout and serve once brewing is complete. The wood-effect handle is designed to provide an insulated grip, while the safety valve is a key feature of the pressurised brewing process.

Getting the most from it

Use ground coffee with a medium-fine texture and fill the funnel evenly without pressing the grounds down firmly. Keeping the water below the safety valve and using medium to low heat follows the recommended brewing method. Removing the pot from the heat as soon as coffee has filled the upper chamber helps you serve it fresh.

At home, the 350ml capacity can cover a round of espresso cups or provide coffee for milk-based drinks at breakfast. Away from the kitchen, its compatibility with portable camping cookers brings stovetop coffee into an outdoor setup. Choose a heat source that matches the flat base, then place the pot securely on it while brewing.

Should you buy it?

It’s a good fit if you want a manual moka pot that can move between an induction hob and other listed heat sources, with enough capacity for up to six espresso cups. The stainless steel construction, insulated wood-effect grip and compact, separable brewing parts make it suited to regular stovetop coffee at home as well as camping use. Choose it for a direct, heat-based way to prepare espresso-style coffee from ground beans.
