Awesome coffee ; Classic design ; Cheap to use

Not dishwasher proof ; Needs an adaptor for induction hobs

The brilliant simplicity of the Bialetti Moka Express Coffee Maker makes you realise just how good coffee can be when it’s brewed in a percolator. This is an old-school design, but it’s been nicely updated and the use of modern materials mixed with...

Simple and easy to use, easy to clean. Its a clean nice piece of kitchenware

vague instructions, incomplete details. Does not tell you how much water to use, only to refer to a non-existent marking inside the chamber. It does stay quite hot after using

Very fast. Makes 2 cups in 2 1/2 minutes ; Jaunty octagonal design not bad for inexpensive coffee pot

Overwhelming taste of metal ; This pot is aluminum. I just bought a stainless steel Bialetti Venus. But the stainless pot ; has the same metallic taste ; The gas flame on my stove is wider than the pot. To avoid burning or melting the handle I can only...

Makes wonderfully strong coffee, if you are careful on how you use it. There are many sites on the internet that give you instructions that will help you make a perfect cup of coffee

I cant think of any right now, but don't expect to make espresso in this, if that is what you are looking for. This makes a really strong cup of Moka pot coffee, which I would argue is a completely different experience. However, the coffee it makes is...

I find that for the price it definitely makes a better cup of coffee better than most low end espresso machines that I have come across

No crema , but I can live with no crema if I can save hundreds of dollars

Aesthetically beautiful ; Strong, balanced coffee ; Very easy to use ; Easy to clean-up ; Cheap ; The more you use it, the better the coffee will taste ; Amazing choice for someone who travels a lot and likes to have good coffee regularly ; For those...

It's a little bit uncool to clean it every time you brew it. Personally I just rinse it under water (I dislike removing the coffee oils attached to the Moka's walls) ; The first couple of brews have a metallized flavour. Pour them in the sink. (Waste...

Easy to use. Perfect coffee every time and not too difficult to clean up. Makes excellent coffee

There is a small learning curve to getting the best results from your Moka Pot

This brand makes different sized espresso pots for different cup sizes, so you can get it in 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 espresso cup size ; Ranging in price from $18.95 for 1 cup to $49.95 for 12 cups ; It's made in Italy and we all know, they know their...

I don't like that the coffee boils out of the pot when it's done or almost done. So if you are not right there exactly when it's finished, it keeps boiling and it spills out of the pot making a mess on the stove. But I guess that can be remedied by...

It's simply to use, very easy to clean, astetically pleasing, the works. The coffee produced is HIGHLY aromatic (key for great flavor), and as a bonus, it doesn't use conventional filters--i.e., no oils are removed, full flavor

None :-), I'm pleased to say aboslutely perfect thus far

Very flavourful cup of coffee ; Quick - 5 minutes for a cup of coffee

None...some mention cleaning...we have a French Mandoline (a manual food processor)...multiple razor sharp blades that can take off your fingers...the Bialetti IS NOT hard to clean
