Modern espresso machines brew using 8-10 bars of pressure. That’s 5-10 times the pressure of a moka pot, depending on the machine.

Keeping this in view, are aluminum Moka pots unhealthy?
In a nutshell, there’s such a tiny increase in aluminum when you use an aluminum Moka pot that there should be no cause for concern. It’s also worth noting that aluminum cookware that has been anodized (hardened through a process that makes it nonreactive) does not leach into or react with food/drink in any way.
