Bialetti Venus Induction 'R' Stovetop 6 Cup Coffee Maker Copper

A stainless steel, quality product — this will last for years if it’s properly looked after. Proper coffee at last! It makes any kitchen look ‘hot’ — and you’ll be serving up the ‘coolest’ coffee! A small piece of advice — don’t tamp down the ground coffee in the filter — far too many of the social-media videos wrongly advise this. Follow Bialetti’s instructions and let the steaming water do its work! ‘Five out of five’ for functionality and design excellence.

Great coffee produced by this pot. Works perfectly well on our induction hob.

Works perfectly and is the perfect size for everyday use. It’s very easy to use and just as easy to clean, which makes it super practical. No major complaints at all ... overall a great, reliable product that does exactly what it promises.

I have been using Bialetti for many years (aluminium Moka), my wife prefers the stainless steel versions. This particular model is generally ok (and well priced on Amazon), just a couple of comments : - the body and lid seem somewhat "flimsier" than previous examples, - the lid "handle" doesn't have a rubber cover and gets hot.

Would definitely recommend this for either gas (you might need a trivet - I did) or induction hobs. I've used it on both every day for the last month or so and it produces great coffee every time. I grind espresso beans very fine, do minimal tamping, then just pop it on the hob. It's definitely taken over from both my steel cafetiere and my old Gaggia Classic. I got the 6-cup version which makes just over one large mug of coffee. 'Cup' = thimble. Oh, not only does it make great coffee, it looks great too.

Bought for my husband who loves a “proper cup of coffee”. A stainless steel, quality product — this will last for years if it’s properly looked after. We have an induction hob and it works really well. We followed Bialetti’s instructions and found it easy to use, easy to clean and overall a great coffee pot producing a great cup of coffee.

Honestly useless as an induction hob moka pot. I bought the smaller (4 cup) one, and as the diameter is so much smaller than the smallest induction ring diameter, it's already got quite a fragile connection with the hob. However, the real kicker is that the bottom of the pot left some kind of glue-like residue on the hob glass, meaning the connection starts ok, but then cuts out, before the coffee is more than half way filled up. My stove top is damaged by the residue which I can't now get off, and the useless moka pot can't be returned I guess as it's discoloured from being heated up. Pretty design, really poorly executed. Please, think carefully before buying as the build quality is really poor.

I moved to a home with induction hobs from one with gas hobs, so I had to change my Moka pot. I was a bit sceptical at the beginning because it looked like the pot was too small (4 cups) to be properly recognised by the hob's sensors. The hobs only stay on for a fraction of the time. While the instructions for the Moka pot recommended keeping the hob power to half, I personally keep it a bit higher. With my hobs, this only affects the time ratio of the hobs being on/off. I believe the power is always the same. After a little trial and error, I finally came to appreciate the quality of the pot, which makes a good cup of coffee.

It’s Bialetti, so everything is clear. Solid build quality, great design and excellent coffee. Easy to use and delivers rich, authentic espresso every time. A classic moka pot that never disappoints. Highly recommended.

very good quality, perfect coffee

I have been searching for a Bialetti 10-cup stainless steel Espresso/CoffeeMaker for months. Found it on Amazon, but it had to come from Italy. Online searches for USA stores showed out of stock for the few that carried the item. It took 5 weeks to get the coffeemaker, but the wait was worth it. Great Italian quality - not made in China or India. Originally I had looked for the Musa style, but only could find the Venus style and I'm glad now that I have it. It has a wider base so I can turn the flame up a little more and the espresso is done sooner. The espresso tastes great and it makes enough (16 oz) for my husband and I to have a couple cups each on the weekend. When the package arrived, it looked like it had taken a beating. The espresso box was not in another box, but the seller had taped plastic 6" squares together (looked like large CD plastic cases) and covered them in brown paper and lots of tape. Luckily, the espresso maker came through without a scratch. I did not want to learn how to return items to Italy!

TLDR: Works great, tastes good, easy to use and enjoyable experience for me and guests. Great little coffee maker. I am very happy with it. Even a family member comes to visit often now just to have some coffee. They never did that before tasting this coffee. I get a call or text almost daily now from them asking if they can come over for a cup of coffee. They have a normal coffee pot at home and sometimes they would go to buy a cup of coffee. Now, they just want this. I admit, I enjoy the company. I was going to buy them one, but decided I like having guests for coffee. :) The instructions are clear and easy to understand. It is easy to use and is fun to make. I use it on my induction cooktop and it is very fast to brew. It feels sturdy and durable. The lid on top covers just fine. This is a small coffee maker and I can get about 4 espresso cups or one larger cup (not to the brim of either cup size if we are counting # of cups). I grind beans fresh for each time I brew. I use a small manual grinder and it is perfect. The basket for the ground coffee holds about 2 TBSP. I use the basket (if it is dry) to scoop up beans and put in the grinder. If the basket is wet, I use a measuring spoon. I have made lots of coffee with it since it arrived and got the hang of it quickly. I am sensitive to smells and it is noticeable to me when I left it on the stove a tad too long. The smell changes and you might notice it too. That was helpful to learn the moment to remove from the heat. Be sure to read the instructions that come with it if you are new to this like me.
