Know before you buy
The Mini Express features a unique design that brews coffee directly into two cups placed on a support plate, rather than into a single collection chamber. This allows the cups to warm up while the coffee is brewing, ensuring your espresso stays hot.
No, this model is made of aluminum and is not compatible with induction stovetops. It works best on gas, electric, and propane camping stoves.
To maintain the integrity of the aluminum, rinse the pot with warm water only. It is not dishwasher safe, and you should avoid using soaps or abrasive sponges, which can damage the finish and affect the flavor of future brews.
This model has a capacity of 2.8 ounces, which is designed to yield two small, traditional espresso-sized servings. It is intended for those who prefer a concentrated, authentic Italian-style espresso.
The iconic 'Gentleman with Moustache' artwork is integrated into the design of the unit, making it a permanent, artistic feature of the pot rather than a temporary decal.
