The Bialetti Venus was made to be a continuation of the legacy of the original old moka pot now in stainless steel versus the classic old aluminium. Surely now this simple induction heating is undoubtedly an option for your espresso-making and not only that, but the simple Italian "rinse-to-clean" Venus looks the part too in practically any kitchen. She remains standard with pressure valve operation and well-insulated handles and nob for safe operation.
