The Musa Stainless Steel Moka Pot is produced by Bialetti (and made in India), an Italian company known for their award-winning designs and high quality polished stainless steel products. It is my favorite functional Mokapot because of the thick metal gauge used in the side-walls and the heat-defusing base: this thing is solid.

We have this model in 4 tasse, 6 tasse and in 10 tasse capacity. The later is more substantial quantity for the American coffee drinker, which is 10 demitasse cups or about 22 liquid oz. The 6 tasse model makes about 13 oz. The 4 Tasse is a perfect "personal" or one-person maker. The stainless steel is not magnetic - so it will not work on an induction-type stove.

It is Inox 18/10 brushed stainless steel, with thermo-plastic black handles. Brushed stainless steel has a surface that looks like spun aluminum, not as refelective as polished stainless, and I think it looks a lot nicer.It has a large footprint which improves heat transfer from the burner and makes this stovetop espresso unit very stable.
