Dear customer, thank you for purchasing Bialetti Espresso Coffee Machine!
Thank you for choosing one of our products. We hope that this choice will fully
meet your expectations. The Bialetti Espresso System is the result of years of
passion and deep research into coffee and its different ways to prepare it.
Thanks to the invention and release of Moka Express, the little man with
moustache has been doubtlessly the synonym and icon of the authentic Italian
espresso coffee since 1933. Your machine only operates with original Bialetti
capsules, perfectly dosed and made of aluminium. These capsules have been
designed to have you enjoy a bar-like coffee even at home. Please read the
following instruction booklet before using the appliance. Best regards from
Bialetti Industrie, we hope you will enjoy your cup.
