Overview
The Bialetti Kitty is a stainless steel stovetop coffee maker with a distinctive rounded, modern design that sets it apart from both the traditional octagonal Moka Express and the cylindrical Venus. The Kitty features a curved body with a wide base for stability, a comfortable stay-cool handle, and a hinged lid that opens for easy filling and serving. Like all Bialetti stainless steel models, the Kitty is compatible with induction cooktops, making it a practical choice for modern kitchens. The brewing process follows the same proven moka principle: steam pressure in the lower chamber forces hot water through ground coffee, producing concentrated, flavorful coffee in the upper chamber. The stainless steel construction is durable, corrosion-resistant, and dishwasher safe for easy maintenance. The Kitty produces rich, aromatic moka coffee with the characteristic intensity that has made Bialetti the world leader in stovetop coffee making. The design has won multiple awards for its elegant combination of form and function. Available in sizes from 4-cup to 10-cup, the Kitty suits individuals, couples, and families who appreciate both excellent coffee and thoughtful product design.
It features a none boiler system made of stainless steel. The none pump delivers 1.5 bars of pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Moka group head.
Priced at $45, the Bialetti Kitty is designed for budget-conscious beginners and casual coffee drinkers. As a moka pot, it produces strong, espresso-style coffee using a stovetop or electric base — a classic Italian brewing method loved worldwide.
In terms of build quality, the Bialetti Kitty is a substantial machine, weighing in at 0.6 kg, manufactured in Italy. With dimensions of 95 x 155 x 200 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 300 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
