Overview
The Bialetti Rainbow is the colorful, fashion-forward expression of the classic Moka Express, available in a spectrum of vibrant enamel finishes including red, yellow, green, blue, purple, orange, and pink. Underneath the eye-catching exterior, the Rainbow is identical to the standard Moka Express — the same octagonal aluminum body, the same brewing mechanism, the same coffee quality that has made Bialetti legendary since 1933. The colored enamel coating is applied to the exterior of the aluminum body and is heat-resistant and durable, maintaining its vibrancy over years of daily use. The Rainbow produces the same rich, concentrated moka coffee as the unfinished aluminum version, and uses the same medium-fine grind and stovetop heating process. It is available in multiple sizes from 1-cup to 6-cup, with the 3-cup being the most popular. The Rainbow has become a kitchen style statement, particularly popular as a gift and among younger coffee drinkers who want the authentic Italian stovetop experience with a pop of personality. The colored versions are compatible with gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops but not induction. For anyone who loves the Moka Express but wants their countertop to have a splash of color, the Rainbow delivers Italian coffee tradition in your favorite shade.
It features a none boiler system made of aluminum. The none pump delivers 1.5 bars of pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Moka group head.
Priced at $38, the Bialetti Rainbow 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 Rainbow is a substantial machine, weighing in at 0.5 kg, manufactured in Italy. With dimensions of 90 x 155 x 170 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 200 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
