Pros & Cons
Pros
A 3 cup is going to make about half a mug of espresso. The taste really is more in line with a traditional turkish coffee depending on how strong you brew it. Bottom line is it's still the best out there, brews great shots just as you would expect and... Read More
I am pleased with this one and it screams originality.
It cleans every easily. We rinse it clean with water after every use. If needed, wash with water and a brush (maybe a tad vinegar) use boiling water in the base and put on the stove.
The'silver' is cast-aluminum and it will darken, never to be as shiny and pristine again. Low heat is the key so it doesn't sputter. That espresso film residue inside, is what we call seasoning the pot.
Cons
This unit is garbage to me. The craftsmanship is not the same. This is my second one, very disappointed when it leaked vapor on the side.
I emailed the company and no response. I'm think i'm going to try and see if i can get a refund even though it’s past the refund window. At least, it is something making me feel uncomfortable.
Highlights
Quality
Works perfectly very sturdy and high quality
You can feel the weight and the quality of this bialetti pot
And it’s not really that much more than a press if done pretty quickly
To season you simply make repeated pots of coffee any cheap coffee to build up thin layers of coffee oil veneer
Price
Even my local coffee shops are getting very expensive so having this will save us tons of money in the long run
It was very good and hopefully will save me a lot of money from having to purchase coffees from the big companies
Its far cheaper than a full espresso setup and you dont get locked into a pod system
For an easy cheap plus travel worthy
Shipping
The moka pot arrived on time with easy to follow instructions to brew great tasting espresso on the stove
Packaging/appearance
It arrived in excellent condition and makes great coffee
I use lavazza ground espresso in it and gently pack it in
There were a few errant metal particles in the box which concerned me that the quality was not good
Competitiveness
I tried another brand but it failed after a short time
I tried another brand that looked nearly the same but it did not perform as well and no matter how hard i tightened the pot ont... Read More
We got the large 12c and it is huge compared to our small one serving moka pots
Old faithful i tried a cheaper brand and ended up tossing it and buying this instead
