Coffee is a must for people in the morning, including me. Most of us just use a regular old drip coffee pot that sits on the counter. But some of us want an espresso but don’t have space or money for an espresso machine. If this is you, it is highly likely you have a mocha pot, or what some call a stovetop espresso and you are wondering, will my mocha pot work on my induction range.
Most Mocha Pots are Aluminum
There is both good news and bad news when it comes to using a mocha pot with your induction range. Most of the mocha pot I have found is made out of aluminum. Aluminum will not work directly on an induction range since aluminum is non-magnetic which is what your induction range needs to work.
So that is the bad news. Now the good news. A lot of people have certain pieces of cookware that can not be easily substituted so manufacturers have made a device that allows you to use non-magnetic items on your induction cooktop.
Induction Adapter for your Mocha Pot
So if you see the item below, you will see this is what is called a diffuser plate. Essentially it is a piece of magnetic stainless steel.
- TURN YOUR PANS INTO INDUCTION PANS: To upgrade your cooking skills, turn any pan in your kitchen into a sweet induction pan using our heat diffuser plate to create amazing tasting dishes.
- EVENLY COOKED FOOD: The power of induction cooking is that it controls the heat onto your food so it distributes it evenly across the pan or pot without overcooking or burning certain areas.
- NO HARMFUL CHEMICALS: Unlike other diffuser plates, ours are crafted to the highest degree without add-ons or coating so no smells or harmful airborne material is created while you cook.
- ENERGY SAVING: Shave off a few dollars on your gas and energy bill by switching to induction cooking – our diffuser plate allows you to cook more with less energy and heat for all-around savings.
- PROTECT YOUR COOKWARE: If you’re tired of having to buy pan after pan due to overexposure to flame, our heat diffuser plate is perfect, as it will provide your cookware with years of additional life.

What you will see is this turns your induction cooktop into a normal electric cooktop where the surface heats up. What happens is the induction range heats up that piece of stainless steel, you then place your mocha pot on top of it. I am not going to pretend it is the most efficient thing in the world but if you are like me and need your stovetop espresso, then this is what you will need to do.

I will admit I have not tried this yet but it is on my list of products to try but the reviews look fantastic. As I am writing this I have moved out of my old condo and now have gas but will be buying a portable induction range to try these out in the future.
