Beautiful moka pot that works exceptionally well; I love the Italian flag colors – see UPDATE
A friend of mine showed me her Bialetti moka pot in silver and I liked it so much that I decided to order this one. The current price of $36.86 plus tax is pricey but typical. She even paid $8 less than I did but the price on Amazon fluctuates and this particular color is more expensive. It is also perfect for Christmas time even though these are the colors of the Italian flag.This pot comes in three pieces (five pieces if I consider the filter and filter ring separate). The filter and filter ring are shown separately in the documentation but I could not remove them; although one day I’ll need to replace it with this. In fact, I ordered a new filter when I purchased this not realizing I didn’t need it.Before use this pot has to be primed (four times). First, it should be used (heated) with just water then dumped. The remaining three times it should be brewed with coffee and then the coffee dumped. Once the unit is primed, it is ready to use.After priming, I brewed regular coffee on low and it was done in a few minutes. It is perfect for espresso (not as good as what comes out of an espresso machine but close enough). As long as I remember to warm my milk after I froth it, it makes a good cappuccino by just pouring the brewed coffee on top of the foam or adding the foam on top of the coffee (either / or).Note that I also ordered these filters to lay on top of the grinds (and wetting it lightly) but my order for that hasn’t arrived yet. This will help keep some of the sediment out of the brewed coffee.IMPORTANT TO NOTE:- This supposedly makes 3 cups but the “cup” size is actually the tiny espresso cups (demitasse cups). Since this holds only about 4 ounces of water below the safety valve, I actually consider this as making 2 espresso cups. Each demistasse cup holds a little over 2 ounces of coffee.- This needs to be primed before use as mentioned above.- This pot only gets rinsed with water and never washed.- The coffee grinds should not be packed down as one would do with an espresso machine. They should only be loosely sitting in the “funnel.”- Only regular grind coffee should be used. Espresso coffee (which is a finer ground) should NEVER be used with this pot as it will clog the filter.- It’s best to use with a lower flame below the pot. Lifting the lid during brewing may make a mess. I tried lifing the lid and during the end of the brew cycle, the coffee explodes out like a volcano. The lid prevents this.In summary, I love my moka pot. It is a piece of functional art that allows me to brew “almost espresso” at the drop of a hat very quickly.UPDATE Dec 18, 2024 – I am using this pot regularly and love it. As I mentioned above, my order for these filters finally came in. I ordered that because another reviewer recommended them and I am sorry I did. I put this on top of the grinds and wet it lightly, but I didn’t like the results. First of all, the coffee came out exactly as it always did and there was still some sediment in the bottom of the brewed coffee. Secondly, the pot ran hot and steamy. I may try these filters one more time but I honestly wish I never ordered those filters for this pot. It was a waste of money to me not to mention the scariness of having the pot run under more pressure than expected.

Finally it’s clear where the Bialetti is made.
I held off for yrs on buying a Bialetti after reading all the negative reviews about suspected counterfeit ones being sold. Customers were complaining about tarnishing of the aluminum, suspicious lower metal weight compared to their older Bialettis & ð¤ lack of branding of just WHERE these poor quality moka makers were made.This yr I took another look on Amazon at these Bialettis to see if anything changed in QC & clarity of manufacturing location. Customers were happier now & it was thoroughly stated in more than one place that they are now indeed made where they should be,….ITALY!I went ahead & purchased a cute little 3 cup Moka Express, after noting “MADE IN ITALY” stamped on it. It arrived quick & in pristine condition ( Thanks Amazon ð). I was comforted even more when I took the moka maker apart; in 4 different places Bialetti has stamped into the metal that it’s made in Italy. NICE!ðð I’ve used it several times now & there’s no tarnishing, it still looks new. Bialetti has changed the handle material to probably a more heat resistant plastic that has a noticeable raised molding seem that runs along the top, & more notably, the underside of the handle. The lid knob is of the same cheaper feeling plastic. Otherwise, this little Bialetti looks & feels like quality ð. It’s easy to use, makes great strong coffee & is a simple breeze to clean. IMO, it’s now well worth the $$$. Go forth & buy with confidence.Update: 3wks later. I used sand paper to smooth out the sharp plastic seems on my Moka pot’s handle, an easy fix. The metal has not tarnished & still looks new after many uses. * For those new to these coffee makers, a “cup” is incredibly small. It’s less than a whiskey shot. Mine is a “3 cup” & fills my small coffee cup up to a little over half. I top it off with hot milk. So, if you want a full cup of industrial strength Black coffee, I’d recommend buying at least the 6 cup Moka maker. Hope this helps ð.

ME GUSTÃ LA CAFETERA, CON ESA TECNOLOGÃA EL CAFE RESULTA DE MUY BUEN SABOR.
Alejandro Garcia –
Me encanta que es fácil de ensamblar, lavar y usar. Preparas a la perfección el café. La medida indicada es para tazas de expreso, si tomas café como la mayorÃa en latinoamerica que es una taza de 250 ML o poco más, pues solo alcanza para 1 taza a la vez, a menos que la raciones.

Linda, robusta e prepara um café maravilhoso, claro, precisa comprar um café de qualidade. Sugiro fortemente que leiam o manual e caso não tenha paciência ou não saibam interpretar as informações, tem muitos vÃdeos no YouTube mostrando o preparo, a forma correta de usar e limpar. Pra quem gosta de um bom café é um excelente investimento
