BialettiMoka Express Iconic Italian Stovetop Espresso Maker 6 Cups, Aluminium, Silver

I absolutely love this Moka pot! You can really feel the quality as soon as you hold it — sturdy, well-made, and built to last. It heats up quickly, and the brewing process is simple once you get the hang of it. What I enjoy most is the rich, bold flavor it brings out — perfect for making a proper cafecito just the way I like it.It’s become part of my morning ritual, and there’s something really satisfying about brewing coffee this way. No need for fancy machines or pods — just ground coffee, water, and a few quiet minutes on the stove. Cleanup is easy too, which is a big plus.If you're on the fence, go for it. This is a timeless piece that delivers every single time. Highly recommend!

Moka pots are fun: they make a tasty cup of joe, they’re elegantly simple but have a sort of scientific flair, and they’re sturdy and last a long time. This pot lives up to the standard!Look up some basic instructions for how to use one, before trying it out. It’s simple, but there are still things you can mess up (under/over filling water/grounds, how long to heat, etc.). One thing I wish I knew, was that you really can’t under-fill the grounds for one of these - each size makes one quantity of coffee.The only part that you should have to replace is the rubber gasket that connects the two halves together, but I’ve had two of these for years, and neither has needed their gasket replaced yet.If you haven’t already - buy one to try it out! Keep in mind, the sizing is in cups of espresso, not American coffee pot ‘cups’.

I do not use my drip coffee machine anymore. I love this moka pot, especially when paired with a good hand coffee grinder. Educate yourself with a few videos, and learn to make a great cup. This makes for a fun and fulfilling coffee routine, and the Bialetti is the OG moka pot. Understand that this is not technically espresso, but it makes amazing coffee drinks. If you like cappuccino and latte but don't have $400 minimum to spend on an decent machine, you will NOT be disappointed with a moka pot. Lastly, research what size you need, because you really shouldn't be making anything other than a full pot for proper extraction. This 6 Cup is perfect for 2 strong cappuccinos for my daughter and me (1 each) every morning.

Very easy to use and makes tasty espresso. 6 cup size makes a lot of espresso for one person. The quality is amazing, especially compared to other cheaper brands. Great value for money. Design is cute, I love the little man.

This makes perfect espresso! Brewing espresso in this moka pot is super easy. The draw to coffee shops is gone since I can make my own delicious coffees at home, for a fraction of the price. Absolutely awesome moka pot. Thank you Bialetti!

I love coffee. I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted the fantasticdeep rich aroma and flavor that cost me [a bit] a cup.Freshly fine ground French Roast is my coffee - and this ismy coffee maker.From Italy, this very sturdy cast alluminum marvel will lasta lifetime. I admit I do not know how the water from the bottomgets through the coffee in the middle and ends up in the potabove. The mystery only adds to the allure. But it makes a verydelicious mug of "cafe' serioso".The "Pot" separates from the bottom in the center. You twistand unscrew it. In the bottom is a water well, fill to the line.An aluminum insert goes on top of it. It's much like a percolaterin the way this insert holds the coffee, with along stem that extends down into the fresh water. Pour groundcoffee into the coffee well, and go ahead and tamp it down.It's not really possible to pack it too hard, nor can you do itwrong. It's quite simple and foolproof.Attach the pot back on, screw it on tightly. I put it on a 4"burner at 375­ degrees, and walk away. The water heats and ina few minutes, and if you stand there and listen closely, you canbarely hear it, but something magical occurs, and suddenly thepot is full of coffee, the water well is empty, and there are noloose grounds inspite of not using a filter.They tell you to toss the first cup. I suggest you toss the first 5 cups.It seasons the pot while allowing you to perfectyour process. The clean up is a lazy person's dream. Unscrew it,shake the used grounds into the trash, rinse if desired. My old...brand name top of the line coffee maker that nevercould make a GOOD cup of coffee is history. I wouldn't evenconsider using it again. This Bialetti is the real deal. On aflame, on an electric burner, on a wood burning stove, this potmakes a good cup of coffee.Because I do use a very fine grind, there is a bit of super-fine"dust" in the coffee. I don't mind it at all. They saynot to use a fine grind because of this. But it works for me,and it tastes better than the [a bit] per cup stuff.When I showed it to my Italian friend he said, "Oh, you got oneof those. Now you never have to sleep again!" There's a bitof truth in that statement.In all I say is this is a design that stood the test of time forgood reason. You can pay much more for a fancy machine, it'snot about money, it's about getting that coffee you want. I amso glad I opted to try this before buying something complicated,high maintenance and expensive. This classic design has beenmaking fast and satisfying coffee for generations. It willno doubt continue to do so.I really give it 4-1/2 stars - not a 5 because I have to dealwith loose grounds. I made quite a mess the first week untilI got it down. Now it's absolutely tweaked to my exact specs,and worth the 30 seconds this lazy person needs to shake thegrounds out and rinse it. You really need to try it.
