Do stovetop espresso makers (moka pots) work on all stoves?

• Traditional aluminum stovetop percolators and moka pots work perfectly on standard gas burners, solid plates, and radiant coil electric stoves. However, if you have a modern induction stove, standard aluminum pots will not work because induction requires a magnetic base. If you use induction cooking, make sure to look specifically for a stainless-steel coffee percolator designed with a magnetic bottom.
