Gemini Express® Special Edition Aluminium Moka Pot Set – Induction Compatible

The Gemini Express Special Edition is a complete Italian espresso set in a gift-ready presentation box. It includes the induction-compatible Gemini Express moka pot, two Eppicotispai porcelain espresso cups and two saucers. Everything needed to brew and serve from the first use. Made in Italy. Compatible with induction, gas, ceramic and electric hobs.

How It Brews

The Gemini Express works differently from a standard moka pot. Rather than collecting coffee in an upper chamber for pouring, it dispenses directly into the cups on its base. The boiler heats the water, which passes up through the coffee funnel and down into the cups below. The included reducer filter fits inside the funnel and changes the brew depending on how you use it.

• 2 cups standard: fill the boiler and funnel with coarse ground coffee
• 1 cup strong: insert the reducer filter and fill the boiler halfway
• 2 cups lighter: insert the reducer filter and fill the boiler fully
• Use coarse ground coffee only. Do not use fine ground or filter coffee
• Maximum cup height: 5.5 cm

Induction Compatible

This version works on induction hobs as well as gas, ceramic and electric stovetops. If your hob is not induction, the non-induction Special Edition set is available at a lower price.

• Compatible with induction, gas, ceramic and electric hobs
• On gas, use a low flame for best results

The Presentation Box

The Special Edition comes in an illustrated kraft card presentation box with the pot and cups displayed openly inside. The box opens out to show the full contents and is suitable for giving as a gift without additional wrapping. The standard pot is sold in a plain box without cups; the Special Edition is the version to choose if you're buying this as a gift or want a complete set from the start.

• Gift-ready kraft presentation box
• Contents displayed openly when unboxed
• No additional wrapping needed for gifting

Why Choose the Special Edition

The standard Gemini Express pot comes boxed but without cups. The Special Edition adds two matched porcelain cups and saucers in a presentation box that's ready to give without additional wrapping. If you're buying this as a gift, or want a complete set without sourcing cups separately, this is the version to choose.

What's the difference between this and the standard induction pot?

The moka pot itself is identical. The Special Edition adds two porcelain espresso cups, two saucers and a gift presentation box. If you already have suitable cups or prefer to choose your own, the standard induction pot is the better value option.

What does the reducer filter do?

The reducer filter fits inside the coffee funnel and gives you two additional brew options. With the reducer in place and the boiler filled halfway, you get one strong cup. With the reducer in place and the boiler filled fully, you get two cups of lighter coffee. Without the reducer and with the boiler filled fully, you get two standard cups.

What grind should I use?

Coarse ground coffee only. Do not use fine ground coffee or any coffee designed for filter machines or electric espresso makers.

Are the cups the same as the ones sold separately?

Yes. The cups included are the same Eppicotispai Gemini Express porcelain cup and saucer available individually on this site.

How do I clean and season the pot?

Clean with bicarbonate of soda or vinegar in water. Do not use washing-up liquid or detergent, as this affects the flavour of subsequent brews. When using the pot for the first time, discard the first few brews before drinking. This seasons the aluminium and removes any initial taste from the new metal.
