5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent design Moka pot and simple to use and clean
I have mainly used a Cafetiere for making my coffee but having seen the Moka type pot in use a number of times in different settings and viewed various reviews, I thought I would give one a try.I usually like my coffee fairly strong and in sufficient quantity (large mug size) to keep me satisfied for a few hours between mugs. I initially placed my order for the 3 cup Bialetti pot but immediately revised my Bolo order to the larger 4 cup. In my view it would be better to have a larger unit than have a smaller unit and not have enough capacity.I glad I made the 4 cup choice.In addition to the Bolo packaging my Moka pot arrived well packaged by the manufacturer Bialetti, with clearly written and easy to understand Operating instructions in multiple languages included.Read and follow these OI's and you should have no problems.Likewise, use common sense when handling and cleaning the more delicate parts, such as the coffee holder "funnel", and avoid holding it by the narrow stem while vigorously shaking out heavy wet coffee grains, especially if you wish the stem to remain attached to the funnel.If you ignore this common sense advice and manage to break it off, this is NOT a manufacturing issue or poor design. Anything can be broken if you try hard enough or use it in a way for which it was not intended.In my view, this Bialetti Moka is a good design, of good quality, and correctly used produces a good cup of coffee.Obviously these three points are my own personal view with the last point being dependent on your own taste in coffee brand and variations in preparation method, but in using this Moka pot you have the opportunity to produce a pot of nose tingling, great looking, hot, steamy, strong and great tasting coffee to suit your own personal preference.That is the key.In the Bialetti Moka Express Aluminium Stovetop Coffee Maker (4 Cup) you have the ideal tool to do the job.Since purchase several months ago I have used this Moka pot to make all my coffee, currently on my 7th 227g bag of my favourite coffee brand.It took me several pot cycles to arrive at the best heat setting on my cooking appliance (electric hob) which is usually the setting I use for a simmer/low boil.You will need to experiment yourself, as most appliances will vary from gas to electric etc and individual heat settings, but my advice would be (as per Bialetti OI's) use a medium heat setting to start and adjust your heat up or down to suit, based on results you get.As it only takes a short time from placing on the hob to start to produce liquid in the top pot, DON'T wander off even for a short time to do something else. Stay and watch the pot at all times it is on the hob with the lid up and heat is being applied.This is after all part of the coffee making experience and should be savoured.I "preheat" my electric hob at setting 4, place the pot towards the edge with the lid up and so the handle is off to one side so it has less direct heat exposure from the hob ring below, and reduce the setting to 3.Keep watching (and smelling).You should soon smell the familiar aroma of your chosen coffee wafting up to your nostrils and if you continue watching you will observe the initial flow of dark liquid gold. I close the lid after the first third of liquid has appeared and turn off the heat source at this point. On hearing the final bubbling and gurgling as the last of the liquid fills the top pot I remove the pot to a cork mat.I find the aroma of freshly brewed coffee is amazing.I boil a small amount of fresh water in my kettle in tandem, splashing a small amount in my chosen mug (to pre heat the mug). After allowing to stand for a minute or so I then pour the coffee from the moka usually accompanied by a satisfactory amount of "froth", topping my mug off with freshly boiled water as required/to taste.Less dilute equals stronger coffee, again down to personal preference.Cleaning the Bialetti Moka in warm water is simple and effective.I use a soft none abrasive washing up sponge if needed, and then immediately dry all parts inside and out with a tea towel before storage. I only reassemble the next time I am ready to make a fresh pot.I am pleased to report my Bialetti Moka Express Aluminium Stovetop Coffee Maker (4 Cup) pot is still in the same condition as when I first received it and the coffee produced is perfect.I would recommend this item and this manufacturer and if given the choice would buy this item again.If you follow the Bialetti Operating Instructions and handle with care it is likely this will last you a good number of years before it needs replacing.Purchase one and enjoy your coffee.M.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality
It has a good quality, providing the best coffee after 5/6 uses. For those who want quality, more amount of coffee and durability this one is the best that you can choose.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best "manual" coffee you can get without spending a fortune
My espresso machine broke down this summer and as a long-time AeroPress user I decided to get a "manual" coffee maker. The 4-cup version works great for me, producing enough espresso for 1 large milk-based drink or 2 medium ones.I am super satisfied with the Bialetti. In my opinion, it beats the AeroPress in every way - simplicity, coffee taste/amount/smoothness and, most importantly, consistent results.The design is simple, yet classy with the Bialleti logo (little moustache guy) printed on the side, the rest of the body made of aluminum apart from the plastic handles (which, by the way, feel quite sturdy).There is the fact that it will take you an extra several minutes compared to an automatic machibe. Personally I find the quality of the coffee this can deliver worth the wait every time.Build quality is amazing, screwing the top on with just a bit of force seals the bottom chamber completely. Despite the low cost, this coffee maker feels quite premium, and I would choose this one over the more modern Bialettis (e.g. for induction stovetops) every time.As for the coffee, that is highly subjective, however everyone I know who has tried the Bialetti, enjoyed it so far. It generally delivers a strong and rich cup of espresso, slightly varying in character based on the coffee beans, coffee and water amounts as well as the stovetop setting.Overall, it is a good choice for brewing wonderful coffee, with the added benefit of being relatively portable (compared to other routes of coffee machines). Get a stainless steel milk jug (for mine off of eBay for a few dollars), a handheld milk frother (also super cheap), heat some milk to 50-60 'C on the stovetop, brew an espresso, top off with frothed milk and enjoy your sub-50-dollar cappucino or cafe latte which will taste better than what you can get at some coffee shops with the fancy 2K machines!
4.0 out of 5 stars Poor build quality, nice logo
Every morning, for years now, I've drunk a moka coffee. I've been using a Pedrini, which I've always been very happy with, but I had always wanted to try a Bialetti because they are so famous.When I got it the handle felt really poorly made and the lid was so stiff that I had to get some WD-40 on the hinge and waggle it about 1000 times to get it usable. Emptying the basket is a total pain as it just doesn't come out of the base without turning it upside down and bashing it, so I end up with coffee all over my hands. Overall the build quality seems poor.It makes nice coffee, but based on my experience of the Pedrini I'd say there are probably better options and mostly you are paying for the super cool logo on the side.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great tasting coffee
Great way to make coffeee. Really nice taste and very easy to use and clean. The cup sizes it refers to though or not standard mug of coffee. More like 4cups = 4 espresso size cups so keep in mind when selecting the correct size. We use this size for two people.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best mokka
We always had Bialetti mokkas at home, the previous lasted us something like 13 years!They are extremely durable, make really nice espresso between 15/20 minutes, they are easy to look after (don't use any detergent, don't stick it in the dishwasher, just rinse and dry after use), considering all of these coffee makers have been in my family for decades they are also a good investment because they last forever and as an Italian I consider this Mokka the only acceptable option to have nice coffee in the morning.Don't waste your time with any cheap and nasty instant coffee or caffettiere, this is the best ever coffee maker for it's budget.
Simply the Best
Makes a truly superior cup of coffee, but if you drink regular drip coffee you should know that 2oz of moka is like 8 Oz of drip and you will be very over caffeinated if you try to drink moka 1:1

Kullanışlı
Normalde filtre ve Türk kahvesi seviyorum, arasıra espresso yapabilmek için daha pahalı makineler yerine bu ürünü tercih ettim. Kahve haznesine moka pot için çekilmiş kahve koymanız gerekli , küçük ocakta orta alevde birkaç dk da kahve hazırlanıyor , 4 kişilik dese de maksimum iki adet Türk kahvesi fincanı kadar kahve çıkıyor, tad olarak beklentimi karşıladı. Evde çeşit olsun ara sıra kahve yapayım diyenler için kullanışlı italyan malı, hergun kullanmak için pratik olmayabilir, temizlik biraz uğraştırıyor.
Wonderful product.
Simply said that the product is perfect. I should know this coffee maker long time ago. It is so easy to make excellent Espresso as well as Americana.
Too fragile for the kind of product :/
The surface gets too hot compared to other similar product I had before. So you have to be careful while using it. Delicate product, plastic handle got damaged easy by fire :/ relatively small: 2 tiny cups of coffee
