The Gemini Express Special Edition is a complete Italian espresso set in a gift-ready presentation box. It includes the 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. Suitable for gas, ceramic and electric hobs. Not compatible with induction.
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
Hob Compatibility
This version works on gas, ceramic and electric hobs. It is not suitable for induction. If you have an induction hob, the induction Special Edition set is available.
- Compatible with gas, ceramic and electric hobs
- Not suitable for induction 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.

What's in the Box
Everything included for brewing and serving immediately. The cups are the same Gemini Express porcelain cup and saucer sold separately on this site.

- 1x reducer filter
- 2x Eppicotispai porcelain espresso cups (100ml)
- 2x matching porcelain saucers
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 non-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 non-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.
