With this post I’ll not only prove that the anon saying that my moka is overpriced is wrong, but at the same time I’ll show you that actually it’s the Bialetti moka the overpriced product.

Using the weight on my scale, we can calculate the price per gram by using the prices of both moka pots as reference.

The Bialetti (3 cup) on the Italian Amazon in this moment costs 24,90€ but the official price on the official Bialetti store is 30,90€. We’re using the lowest price now.

The Giannina (3/1 cup) on the Italian Amazon cost 79,90€ but there isn’t an official store with an official price, I paid mine from an authorised retailer 110€. We’re using the Amazon price.

The aluminium + plastic Bialetti moka weights 410 grams and has a price per gram of 0,06€.

The alla stainless steel Giannina weights 728 grams and has a price per gram of 0,10€.

It has to be noted that aluminium is cheaper than stainless steel (source check any raw materials stock market page), it also has to be noted that Bialetti make all their products industrially and in several parts of Europe whereas Giannini is a completely artisanal low number production and it can’t even flex the brand because everyone in the world knows that moka pot = Bialetti, also Bialetti has decreased the build quality of their products a lot in the last 10 years so their moka pots have rough edges and casting imperfection while the Giannina is as perfect as it can be for an artisanal product. These pros/cons cannot be calculated with this method.
