I use a stand alone 1500w induction plate for my Cuisinox Roma moka pot. I can start with cold water and it gets to boiling rapidly. Before getting the induction plate I started with almost boiling water in the bottom then assembled and onto the stove where it started brewing within a few minutes.
With any heat method you use, you want the brew process to be gradual.
Once you see the coffee start emerging from the stem turn DOWN the heat source so that it continues to come out but in a gradual flow, not gushing. You will find that the flavor is not as bitter if you brew this way with a moka pot. With enough practice you can get a very smooth brew which I find more enjoyable than the sharper taste that a fast brew gives.
If you brew correctly you do not get an spatter when it finishes and you can keep the lid up without making a mess.
