Bialetti Moka Express 6 Cup Espresso Maker/Percolator/Stovetop/Filter Coffee Maker for an Italian Mocha: Italian Made

The BEST Coffee Maker. Highly efficient, easy to use, best in Taste, loved the design.

This is the best moka pot. Period. Nothing like this. If you're using some cheaper chinese or Indian moka pot, and wonder how the you tube vidios show the frothy beautiful stream of coffee decoction coming out of the nozzle, because your device only squirt or sneeze, this IS the difference. I've used quite a few cheaper alternatives. Nothing comes to close. In built quality, in performance and lastly in taste of coffee made with this. 1. Use hot water . Boil water seperately and use in it. Use cloths to hold the base while tightening the upper part as the hot water will make the lower part scaldingly hot in no time. This cause less time of this on the stove top, so less bitter taste. No chance of burning coffee grounds. 2. Use coarser ground. On timemore C1, use 16 clicks- 22 clicks setting. 16 click will produce the beautiful frothy thick decoction flow. 22 clicks will produce watery decoction. Do not use espresso grind. 3. Don't tamp 4. Transfer decoction as soon as flow seems complete to prevent over-cooking. Some water always remain inside lower chamber. You can also transfer the lower chamber below running water or cover lower part with water soaked towel once flow seems complete to prevent over-cooking. 5. Clean thoroughly. This prevevents bitterness. 6. If you have less members buy smaller ones. Using less than optimum coffee ground and less than optimum water doesn't taste good. So this will make coffee for six. If you have 4 members, each day you might have to throw away decoction for two.

The product is ok. But I am facing issue white deposits in the pot's base along with black spots. I have used the product only a couple of times as of now therefore this issue should not come so soon. Is there anyway I can get the pot replaced. It seems the material is getting corroded very easily. Still waiting for a reply from the seller. Is there no way to get an answer? I got response from the seller. Conversation with them was satisfactory and they made sure the stains are not an issue u less the coffee taste is accected. Also, coffee brewed in this is great!

I bought the 6 cup version. Some of the points which may not be highlighted in other reviews: Pros: 1. The decoction gets done quickly (3-4 mins). 2. The decoction is thick and leaves a film of trail when drawn (not watery). 3. Is versatile: Can be served directly as small espresso shots served in demitasse cups, but can also be used in lieu of filter coffee decoction with milk and sugar without losing the originality of filter coffee taste (I used regular South Indian coffee grounds). 4. Thorough extraction of flavour and essence - There is no point of reusing the used grounds for a second extraction, since the first extraction itself is thorough. Cons: 1. Very very expensive even for an international product. USA Amazon prices for the same product are 20-30% cheaper. 2. Cleaning needs some attention as the different parts need to be separated out and cleaned with plain water and no detergent.

Make sure to use it with guidelines and it’s amazing

Makes a superb cup of piping hot coffee. Easy to use.

WIthin 2 months of buying this product, the handle melted and the internal filter fused. I really enjoyed it for those 2 months, but have been naturally upset that I spent so much and nothing happened. The manufacturer or Amazon should refund me the money, IMHO.

Pros The decoction is quite strong and thick compared to the traditional filter. No traces of coffee powder in the upper kettle (the regular filter used to have coffee powder settled at the bottom as it worked on gravity) Cons A little pricy We reuse the percolator second time as the decoction is very strong and coffee powder still has essence in it. During this process, it’s difficult to separate the bottom container and the coffee powder middle stand.
