BialettiMoka Express Rainbow (Yellow, 6 Cups)

I'm from Italy so I am very picky about my Italian coffee. My 29 years old Bialetti coffee maker (caffettiera) was "attached" by my "coffe lover" big dog (she knows she can't have coffee) and the filter was damaged. I could easily order a new filter but I saw this new pot and I had to have it. Bialetti brand has been in the market for so many years and it's loved by Italians. They last forever, even after a jump from a second floor (thank you, son). It's going to take a few cups to get the real taste but in the meantime I am making Tiramisù.

It, like all Bialetti's, works really well. To me it's easy, but I know for some people they find it slightly complicated. It helps to always use it on the same place on the same burner so you can control everything more easily. The handle is plastic so you want to keep that facing the outside of your burner. It is a good value for the money. I know it feels kind of pricey, however it's so pretty and makes such good coffee, it's kind of a "you get what you pay for" thing. When you clean it, I rec not using a lot of soap, mostly focus on quickly getting off any coffee or coffee oil. It's easy to get soap stuck in the "basket" so rinse that out a lot. I also don't think it works well to smash a ton of coffee in there, you need roughly 3 cubic cm of air in the basket. Fill the water to half way across the bolt in the well. Enjoy!

I have a couple of these in different sizes and the Bialetti pot is my go-to for morning coffee. As has been said by others, the "6-cup" size is just about right for 2 American coffee cups, especially if you want to add milk. As for cleaning, the maker warns against using soap or the dishwasher, and I agree with that. I put one of my pots in the dishwasher (I was ready to run a load) .and that was a mistake that could only be remedied by purchasing a new pot. The dishwasher mottled the finish, and did something to the inside so that any coffee brewed was just awful. I purchased a bottle brush and use that to clean the pots -- much easier, and doesn't affect the taste. I think its sort of nice to have a couple of kitchen items that don't have any electronics or plugs -- and this is certainly that.

Love it! Cute and easy to use

i love the taste of the coffee, it is much better than from cheap mokka pots. the handle is not effected by heat. very good quality product. it is worth its price

I was very pleased with this purchase. The pot is small enough for 2-3 cups of espresso so there is no need to make a full pot of coffee.

Good, but i would recommend watching a guide on how to make good coffee with a moka pot before using

a wonderful little addition to my kitchen and amazing coffee maker. somethings are worth a little extra work.
