Bialetti Brikka Moka Pot - Crema-Rich Stovetop Espresso Maker, Italian Coffee Maker, 2 Espresso Shots (3.4 oz - 100 ml), Black

The Bialetti Moka Express is a classic stovetop espresso maker that delivers rich, aromatic coffee effortlessly. The dual valve system ensures safety and optimal pressure extraction, producing a smooth yet robust brew. Its aluminum construction heats quickly, while the ergonomic handle stays cool. Cleanup is simple, though thorough drying is needed to prevent oxidation. For best results, use medium heat and finely ground coffee. While it takes practice to avoid bitterness, the flavor rivals pricier machines. Compact and iconic, it’s perfect for espresso lovers seeking authenticity without electricity.

These are the steps I use - hope this helps with people struggling with this. #1: While this says it's a 4 cup espresso maker, it's designed to make a single 6oz serving. Don't use this like a traditional Moka and fill it up to the pressure valve - if you do you will create a lava flow of coffee/crema pouring out the top of this. 170ml, it's all the water you need. Don't worry if it looks like it's nowhere near enough - it's plenty. The way this makes crema expands the volume the top section has to catch. --- #2: Preheat your Moka pot with boiling water, and your cup with boiling water. The former means you don't need to wait a long time to get the brewing process started, and the latter means when you are ready to pour it - your cup is already preheated. --- #3: The most important step. You want to pull this off the burner IMMEDIATELY once you start to see a steady stream flow. Did I say IMMEDIATELY? Yep. The pot is already hot enough to finish the brew. Then, take it to the sink and once it gets close to the sputter stage (you'll know by how much is in the top section - or after making a couple pots when it's about to start sputtering out) put the bottom pot under running cold water. You want to cool this off to stop the perculation. If you don't you'll get some rather unsavory bits of the end of the brew in your cup. --- #3 should only take you 1 or 2 tries to get the timing right - and it's critical to a good cup of joe. I use Death Wish Coffee - Dark Roast - 100% Arabica. This should normally not give you much if any crema. With this, there is about 1/4" of golden brown crema on top. 6oz of bliss to start the day. Lastly, if you follow the preheat instructions you have plenty of time to clean the pot before you enjoy your cup of joe. I use a 6oz stainless steel cup - it's still piping hot after cleaning and putting away the pot - and the crema is still waiting for you. If you want more (i.e. weaker) coffee from this, just dilute what you have with water/milk. All putting more water in the pot is going to do is make a great big mess.

I was following the directions using the correct amount of water and coffee level amounts . To get consistent results from cup to cup use a Brikka 2 cup. Its better than the Moka express for consistency. 1) Correct water amount 2) Same gas flame size or on stove setting knob 3) Always use one aeropress paper filter each time. If you don't clean the rectangular orifice or valve near the spout you get no coffee flow and it plugs up very easy . Finer ground coffee will plug it up also ,I use one aeropress paper filter bottom of pitcher to prevent that from occurring and from coffee bursting out through the top If your dreaming of crema its all in your head, its advertising. The directions don't tell you on the valve. Just take it out and clean it just finger tight.(O ring seal)...rather than doing all the maintenance required each time of taking it all apart. I prefer using just 3 oz hot milk with 3 oz Cuban (La Carreta) brand with a little condensed milk. It suits me fine but everyone has their own preference. Beware: First thing you will need to replace the handle attached to the lid that does get hot. HANDLE, KNOB, COVER Made of anti-scald nylon. Check this item's best price before you buy! Why I rated this item 1 star. Parts are a problem for this item. You might just need to buy another one for parts. You may need to make your own 3 inch metal handle better than what is provided on this item with plastic. What's next I need to replace in parts? An aeropress is much quicker making coffee and less maintenance than this item. I would say, save your hard cash and spending your life cleaning up the mess it leaves behind. Don't buy this product you will regret it, its not a thing I would take to my grave.

The measuring cup inside is broken.

Çekirdek, taze çekilmiş tşibo espresso kahve ile denedim baya koyu köpüklü bir espresso yaptı ve köpük dağılmadı, çok başarılı.

Ótima cafeteira, funciona tal como anunciado. Produz uma espuma agradável no café, que funciona muito bem para capuccinos e quase-expressos. Satisfeita com a compra.
