I'm a Moka pot enthusiast. It's the way I start every morning. In fact, I'm so loyal to this coffee method that I actually gave away my pod machine. When it comes to the quality of your coffee, nothing comes close to the strong, smooth brew offered by my trusted pot. I've held this loyalty for years, except for one brief pause, when I first switched from gas to induction. Suddenly, after years of Moka pot exclusivity, I became a pod-user. Not because I thought it was better, or easier, but purely because I couldn't find a way to make the Moka pot work with my new, clever induction hob. Even when I purchased special pots that promised induction compatibility, whether they worked or not was so hit-and-miss that I thought my Moka pot and I had reached the end of our relationship. So, you can only imagine my delight when I finally discovered the genius that is an adapter plate — specifically, the Donjim Moka Pot Induction Adapter Plate on Amazon. It's such an obviously logical design, I was almost annoyed I hadn't thought of it myself. With this thin, magnetic plate in hand, my Moka pot problems were solved, restoring my love affair with my go-to caffeine provider. And it only costs £14.99.
It may look simple, but don't let that deceive you; this clever idea is the only thing that has solved my Moka pot problems.
Induction hobs work by generating heat through electromagnetism, which is why you can't use normal pots on an induction hob. When a magnetic surface touches your hob, it triggers the copper coils beneath the glass, creating a magnetic field that transfers heat directly onto the pan. However, when your pot doesn't have a magnetic surface, like with a traditional Moka pot, it's unable to create this magnetic field and fails to generate any heat.
Which is exactly where this handy adapter plate steps in. Constructed from layers of stainless steel and an aluminum alloy, this combination promises maximum efficiency, heating up faster than your average pan and speeding up your coffee-making process. The PVC handle, on the other hand, offers complete heat protection, so you can comfortably remove the plate from your hob without any risk of burns.
Plus, it doesn't have to be exclusively used for your Moka pot — this adapter plate can make any of your smaller pots and pans compatible with your induction hob, so you can still make use of your older cookware.
