Bialetti X Mackenzie Childs Moka Express

Bialetti Meets MacKenzie-Childs

The Bialetti X MacKenzie-Childs Moka Express blends Italian coffee tradition with whimsical American artistry. MacKenzie-Childs is a US luxury home goods brand known for its hand-painted ceramics and eclectic designs, and this rare collaboration brings their iconic Courtly Check pattern to Bialetti's legendary stovetop coffee maker.

The Same Trusted Brewing Method

Underneath the playful pattern, this is the same reliable Moka Express that's brewed authentic Italian espresso for generations — crafted from durable aluminium with Bialetti's patented safety valve and octagonal shape for even heat distribution.

Dimensions

Country of origin: Italy. Material: aluminium, stainless steel (filter), silicone and plastic.

3 Cup: 16cm (H) x 9cm (W), 0.39kg, approx. 130ml serving.
6 Cup: 21.5cm (H) x 10.5cm (W), 0.65kg, approx. 250ml serving.

How To Use

Fill the lower chamber with water to just below the safety valve. Fill the funnel with ground coffee without tamping it down, screw the top and bottom together, and place on a gas or electric hob.

Care Instructions

Clean with warm water and a 3:1 water-to-vinegar solution rather than detergent, then rinse thoroughly with plain water and dry all parts completely before storing. Never put it in the dishwasher. Don't let the flame extend beyond the sides of the pot when heating, and let the base cool before cleaning. Move the knob at the centre of the safety valve weekly to prevent limescale build-up. Hand wash only.
