Review: Iconic Italian Coffee Maker for Beginners and Pros - Perfect brew capacity for 2 people or 1 person who likes two strong lattes throughout the day (me). Easy to use, timeless Italian design and quality. This is one of those products you know will last you a lifetime, it's just up to you to use it. The coffee quality out of this maker is FANTASTIC. Almost espresso like, but certainly a higher water to coffee ratio. Perfect straight, with a little sugar, and most milk based coffee drinks. For true beginners, the coffee quality may take a little time to dial in unless you've done some research (~30g of beans). I use mine on a gas stove, which is ideal for quickly adjusting temperatures during brewing. But an electric stove will also work. From start to pour, it takes 20 minutes at most, if starting with cold water, to make coffee with this 6 cup Moka. Perfect for those seeking a slower coffee ritual with excellent coffee quality, durability, simplicity, and sustainability. Side Note: Please don't be one of those people who only clean their Moka pot with water. Coffee oils and grime do accumulate in the top collection cup and middle filter cup. I clean mine once a week with dish soap and a soft sponge (Only with everyday use). I also ensure to remove the rubber gasket on the bottom of the collection cup and clean there too. Finally after each use and rinse, I make sure to immediately dry all components of the pot. Following this routine will prevent rancid oil from building up and overall dirty looking pot.
Review: Excellent espresso maker - We’ve had this stovetop espresso maker for about 5 years, and the coffee quality has always been excellent. It makes rich, flavorful espresso and worked very well for daily use. The only downside is that the metal piece holding the handle is not very durable. After 5 years, it broke, and unfortunately we couldn’t find a replacement part. Other than that, we were very happy with it overall.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This coffee maker you could use at the cooktop .**
A: Yes, it is possible to use a cooktop for making moka espresso; there are surges in the heat source of course, but if you use mid-level heat the result is a nice cup.  The seal allows for a small bit of water to collect around the bottom outside of the pot, but that is tolerable.  Nice Pot to be fully enjoyed.

**Q: Does espresso machine come with rubber seal ??**
A: Yes, there is a rubber seal embedded in the top part. Don't know if it's replaceable.

**Q: The 3 cup passion red one does not say "Made in Italy" on the pot. Where is it made?**
A: I have a 6 cup, the country of origin is on the box.

**Q: I love these pots but heres my question...im wondering why they are made out of aluminum ? I can remember hearing that this a bad for you...is this tr**
A: Aluminum is bad to have in your body, some of these are offered in stainless if you see this as an issue. The heat transfer is slower with stainless, so it is a trade off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What can I say that millions of Italians have already said? It's the BEST
*by F***E on September 2, 2024*

Where do I start? This is simply the best product in it's category, bar none. Moka pots in general get a bad rap as being finicky and difficult to use, but that's nonsense. Watch a few You Tube videos and see for yourself, there's nothing to it, a very short learning curve. Basically all you have to do is: 1. Boil water and pour into the base, fill to just below the valve button 2. Fill the filter with medium/fine ground coffee (Illy is too fine, IMO) and tap to level, do not tamp down 3. Place a 2.5" round Aeropress filter on top of grounds (500 for $6, just a bit more than a penny each) 4. Add a few drops of water on top of the filter so it stays in place while you screw down the lid 5. Place on medium heat, with the lid open so you can see when the "volcano erupts" 6. When it starts to sputter, take it off the heat and close the lid, wait a few minutes and pour. I have an induction cooktop and the base is aluminum so I got a Bialetti Induction Stainless steel plate All Moka pots work the same way, but be aware of cup capacity. When they are labeled "3 cup" or "6 cup" do not think of it like 8 oz cups, or even the standard 5 oz standard coffee cup measurement. They are more like 1.25 oz espresso cups, so the 3 cup model only makes 4 ounces of coffee, not even enough for one person. I returned it and bought the 6 cup model, which makes about 7.5 ounces of coffee, and it is strong enough to add a bit of water to at the end, without losing its potency. Finally, the color design. 90% of Moka pots are all aluminum, some of the trendy new ones are black, or white or have various pastel shades to match kitchen decor. This is Red and Green like the Italian Flag, (with a high polished stainless steel band between the two colors), in fact it is called the "Italia" model to differentiate it from the other ones. It is just gorgeous. Very well enameled, and cleans up beautifully with a magic eraser (don't use soap on the inside) . I bought this thinking it would just be an adjunct to my espresso maker, drip coffeemaker, Chemex pourover coffee maker (actually an excellent Agogo knockoff), and my Bodum French Press. I have had this almost a month, and have used it every day. It's that good. I first discovered this by watching a video on You Tube of Jerry Seinfeld talking to GQ about certain objects that have "quintessence", meaning that they are the finest example of their genre, and he RAVED about his Bialetti Italia Moka pot (along with things like the Bic crystal pen and Levi 501s). I was intrigued, and for $68 (Moka pot PLUS the heating plate) it just can't be beat, it's PERFECT!
