Overview
A stainless steel heat diffuser plate from Bialetti that lets a stovetop moka pot up to 12 cups sit on an induction cooktop, since moka pots are not built to work on induction directly.
This is a small accessory rather than a stand-alone appliance: it does one job, bridging a moka pot to a cooktop surface it otherwise cannot use. At 130 mm, about 5.1 inches, across, it is sized for Bialetti's own moka pots up to the 12-cup size rather than larger stovetop cookware in general. Use is simple: set the diffuser on the induction burner, place the moka pot on top, and heat on medium until the coffee is ready.
- 130 mm (5.1 inch) steel induction diffuser plate
- Fits Bialetti moka pots up to 12 cups
- Dishwasher safe
- Simple placement: diffuser on burner, moka pot on top
Who it's for
Fits anyone with a Bialetti moka pot, up to 12 cups, who has switched to, or already owns, an induction cooktop and needs a way to keep using it. Not useful for gas or electric coil cooktops, which do not need a diffuser plate, or for moka pots much larger than 12 cups.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Lets a moka pot be used on an induction cooktop
- Sized for Bialetti moka pots up to 12 cups
- Simple steel construction with no parts to maintain
- Limited to moka pots up to 12 cups, not larger stovetop cookware
- Adds an extra piece to heat up and store rather than placing the pot directly on the burner
Performance notes
The plate works by giving the induction burner's magnetic field something ferrous and flat to heat, which then conducts that heat up into the moka pot sitting on top of it. Because it is a passive steel disc with no electronics, the diffuser itself is dishwasher safe once it has cooled.
