The 6 Best Electric Moka Pots

This wiki has been updated 22 times since it was first published in October of 2018. There may be nothing better than a freshly brewed, traditional Italian espresso after dinner or to wake you up in the morning, but the old stovetop moka pots required you to sit and monitor the entire process to ensure they didn't boil over and that you didn't accidentally burn the bottom. These electric models take away all those hassles. When users buy our independently chosen editorial picks, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.
