Know before you buy
The Varia Pro features a fully sealed brew chamber that generates significantly higher pressure than standard pots. This design mimics the extraction process of an espresso machine, resulting in a richer body and a thicker crema that traditional Moka pots cannot achieve.
Yes, the Varia Pro is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces. Its construction is designed to handle the specific heat transfer requirements of modern induction ranges.
Yes, the integrated photo-etched stainless steel filter is designed to catch fine grounds while allowing oils to pass through. This provides a clean, grit-free cup without the waste or flavor absorption associated with paper filters.
The basket holds 30 grams of ground coffee, which pairs with the 350ml boiler capacity. This allows you to brew a substantial amount of concentrated coffee, roughly equivalent to a large double or triple serving of espresso-style strength.
The pot is built using high-grade stainless steel and space-grade alloys, ensuring it can withstand high heat without warping. All internal components, including the seals, are made from BPA-free, FDA-approved silicone for safety and longevity.
To maintain the pressure seal, ensure the threads are kept clean of coffee grounds and the silicone gasket is seated correctly after each wash. The Varia Pro includes replacement seals and a funnel disk, making it easy to refresh the unit if you notice any loss of pressure over time.
