Bialetti X Dolce&Gabbana Blu Mediterranean Moka Express

Mediterranean Art Meets Iconic Moka

The Bialetti Moka Express is a cornerstone of Italian coffee culture, with nearly a century of heritage and a presence in over 90% of Italian homes. The Bialetti X Dolce&Gabbana Blu Mediterraneo Moka Express transforms this beloved stovetop brewer with Dolce&Gabbana's artistic vision, inspired by the vibrant colours and landscapes of the Mediterranean coast.

Handcrafted, One of a Kind

The decorative design is applied through a water transfer process and then heated to ensure durability. Because of this hand-finishing, no two pieces are exactly alike — pattern placement varies slightly from piece to piece, so you own something genuinely unique.

The Same Trusted Brewing Method

Underneath the design, this is the same Moka Express that's brewed authentic Italian stovetop espresso for generations. Crafted from durable aluminium with a patented safety valve, its octagonal shape ensures even heat distribution for a rich, full-bodied cup.

Dimensions

Country of origin: Italy. Body material: aluminium. Handle and knob: thermoplastic. Material: aluminium, stainless steel (filter), silicone and plastic.

3 Cup: 15 x 8.5 x 15.5cm, 130ml boiler capacity, 550g.
6 Cup: 18 x 10 x 21cm, 270ml boiler capacity, 920g.

How To Use

Pour room-temperature water into the boiler up to the level of the safety valve — don't exceed this or the coffee will be watery. Fill the funnel generously with a Moka-ground coffee without pressing it down. Set the heat to low and let the coffee brew slowly; once it has risen fully, turn off the heat. Drink immediately for the best aroma.

Care Instructions

Wash by hand after each use with lukewarm water only — avoid detergents and abrasive materials, which can damage both the aluminium and the printed design. Allow the pot to cool completely before cleaning, then dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling. Never put it in the dishwasher.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as the classic Moka Express in terms of brewing?
Yes — it uses the same steam-pressure brewing method that's made the Moka Express an Italian icon for generations; only the exterior design is different.

Which hobs can it be used on?
Gas, electric and glass ceramic hobs. It isn't suitable for induction hobs unless used with a separate Bialetti induction adapter plate.

Is it made in Italy?
Yes — like all Moka Express models, this special edition is proudly made in Italy.

What grind should I use?
A medium-fine grind, slightly coarser than espresso but finer than drip coffee — similar to fine sand. A Moka-specific ground coffee gives the best results.

Why does the pattern vary between pieces?
The design is hand-applied via a water transfer process, so placement naturally varies slightly from piece to piece — a feature of its handcrafted nature, not a flaw.

A Genuine Piece of Italian Design

For anyone who wants their coffee ritual to double as a design statement, the Blu Mediterraneo Moka Express brings genuine Bialetti brewing quality together with Dolce&Gabbana's artistry — no two pieces quite the same.
