The ORYX Stove-Top Coffee Maker (Moka Pot) in metallic silver aluminium offers a classic way to brew strong, espresso-like coffee at home. With a 600ml capacity (equivalent to about 12 small cups), this model stands out for its full induction compatibility, making it suitable for modern induction hobs, glass-ceramic, electric plates, and gas stoves. It delivers rich, aromatic coffee without the need for electricity or capsules.
Key Features at a Glance:
- 600ml capacity – brews enough for larger households or multiple servings (around 12 espresso-sized cups)
- Compatible with all heat sources – including induction thanks to the "Full-Induction" base design
- Durable aluminium construction – lightweight, heats evenly, and built to last with proper care
- Ergonomic heat-resistant Bakelite handle and knob – safe and comfortable grip, even when hot
- Upgraded silicone gasket – stronger and more durable than traditional rubber for better sealing and longevity
Pros:
- Versatile across stove types – works reliably on induction, gas, electric, and ceramic
- Large capacity for family or guest use – less need to brew multiple batches
- Produces strong, full-bodied coffee with good crema when used correctly
- Affordable and straightforward – no complex parts or maintenance
- Easy to use once you master the basic technique (fill, assemble, heat, and remove at the gurgle)
Cons:
- Aluminium can develop a patina over time (normal for moka pots; doesn't affect taste much)
- Requires practice to avoid bitterness or over-extraction (common with all moka pots)
- Not dishwasher-safe – hand washing recommended to preserve the material
- Handle may get warm during long brews (though Bakelite helps)
- Larger size means slightly longer heat-up time compared to smaller models
This ORYX moka pot is a solid choice for anyone seeking an authentic stovetop espresso experience with modern induction support. It's ideal for daily use, camping, or as a simple alternative to pod machines. Brew with medium-fine ground coffee, medium heat, and remove from the stove when it starts gurgling for the best results.
