Bialetti Mini Express Lichtenstein 2-Cup Moka Set — Yellow Aluminum with 2 Shot Glasses & Warming Plate

Bialetti Mini Express Lichtenstein is a compact 2-cup aluminum moka set that brews espresso directly into two included shot glasses, kept warm on an integrated aluminum plate.

Compact, colorful and designed for tabletop theatrics, the Mini Express Lichtenstein pairs Bialetti's classic moka brewing with a playful artist-inspired finish. This version is a two-cup (2.8 oz) aluminum coffee maker in yellow, accompanied by two small glasses that sit on a warming plate so your espresso pours straight into ready-to-drink cups. It’s built to be simple to operate, easy to rinse, and ideal for small servings or sharing a single espresso moment.

How does the Mini Express make espresso directly into the cups?

The Mini Express redirects brewed coffee through a short spout that dispenses into the two included glasses positioned on a raised aluminum support. During extraction the support plate warms, so the cups are preheated and the espresso stays hotter for longer. Assembly is straightforward and follows traditional moka steps adapted for this dispensing design.

• Fill the lower boiler with water up to the safety valve.
• Add ground espresso into the funnel basket without tamping.
• Screw the top section firmly in place and set the cups onto the warming plate.
• Heat until coffee flows into the glasses; remove from heat when pouring finishes.

What materials and care does this yellow 2-cup set require?

The Mini Express is crafted from painted aluminum with glass cups; the aluminum plate and body conduct heat quickly for efficient extraction. Cleaning is minimal: rinse with hot water after use and avoid detergents or dishwasher cycles that can damage paint or alter flavor. Regular rinsing preserves the moka’s finish and the coffee’s taste.

• Constructed from aluminum body and support plate with two tempered glass cups.
• Rinse with water only; do not use soap or dishwasher to avoid damage.
• Dry parts completely before storage to prevent oxidation.

How big is the brewer and how much coffee does it pour?

This Mini Express is sized for two espresso servings totaling about 2.8 ounces (approximately two small espresso cups). Its compact footprint fits small stovetops and tabletops, making it suitable for kitchens, campers, or office break areas where space is limited. The included glasses are proportioned for true espresso shots.

• Official capacity: 2 espresso cups (approx. 2.8 oz total).
• Small footprint designed for compact kitchens or travel use.
• Includes two shot glasses that rest on the warming plate while brewing.

Why choose the Lichtenstein edition over a standard moka pot?

The Lichtenstein edition combines the familiar Bialetti brewing experience with an artistic exterior inspired by pop-art style, making it both a functional brewer and a decorative piece. Its direct-pour design into cups adds a bit of presentation flair while the warmed support plate enhances serving temperature. For those who enjoy a visually striking coffee ritual, this set elevates a routine espresso into a small ceremony.

• Unique artist-inspired graphics for a distinctive counter presence.
• Direct dispense into included cups for immediate serving.
• Integrated warming plate keeps cups heated during extraction.

Who is this for: The Bialetti Mini Express Lichtenstein is ideal for solo espresso lovers, couples, or anyone wanting a compact, design-forward stovetop brewer. Choose it if you value quick two-shot servings, appreciate artist-themed kitchenware, and prefer an easy-to-clean moka that doubles as a conversation piece on your breakfast table or coffee corner.
