BialettiMusa Stovetop Espresso Coffee Pot 6-Cup Silver 4273

It’s faster than the aluminum one but a little bit smaller. Enough for a big cup of coffee. What I really dislike that the inside of the water container is coated with a silver material (maybe a kind of Teflon). I have to clean the container very carefully before using or I have silver particles in the water. I don’t know if this my cause health problems on the long use.

This coffee pot by bialetti is a home made bomb. Mine exploded in the kitchen causing some 3900 EUR and almost killed me in the process due to shattering glass from the induction hob that was heating it. Im actually lucky to be alive and writing this

I love my morning coffee and when camping/touring around Europe I use a traditional aluminium Bialetti coffee maker. It has always produced great coffee and has never let me down but cannot be used at home as we use an induction hob which needs some ferrous material in all pots. I had been using an Ikea Stainless Steel pot which looked quite smart and made good coffee but did not quite have the style and quality feel of this pot.Unfortunately "style and quality feel" is where the good news ends. The upper and lower parts of the pot fit together very badly with two results. Firstly they have to be screwed together very tightly or hot water comes out of the join while the coffee is being brewed. This is quite hard to do as the fit of the threads is rather poor. Secondly, once the two parts are screwed tight enough to prevent leaks it is close to impossible to get the two halves apart after making the coffee.The quality of the coffee is OK but really there is very little difference in coffee quality between makes and pots as it is the grind, coffee blend and brew speed that defines that but it is disappointing that a well established company produces such a low quality item. I have a cheap Chinese aluminium coffee pot which has poor threads, locks up and leaks. This leads me to wonder whether Bialetti are badging Chinese pots and not spending money on any quality control.I could not be bothered to send it back but if I purchase a new pot in the future I think I will want to check it out "in store" before buying and not rely on the manufacturers name as an indication of quality.Final note. The Headline for this item on Amazon ends with the word "Induction" but the description underneath says it works on all stoves except induction. As it is steel I guessed correctly that the headline was correct and the description underneath was wrong.

I've had this coffee maker for 2 weeks. In the last couple of days, it has developed a 4 cm crack that lets the steam pressure out. My impression of Bialetti is that they make stuff that looks nice but is of poor quality. Other reviews on Amazon mention similar problems with cracks. I consider that under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, this item is NOT "of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose".

This is my second one; the first just stopped working after a couple of years, and I couldn't find ain't he one at a reasonable price that suited. This one has also recently started acting up: it makes a horrible noise when the coffee starts coming up, but that can be controlled by reducing the flame. Having said that, the coffee is better than any I've had, second only to that from sophisticated espresso machines in restaurants. I have tried several domestic machines, but found them all useless and sent them all back.

I have a smaller version of this coffee maker, different make, I use it everyday and does the perfect job. I wanted a larger one and bought the Bialetti 6 cups. However I was disappointed as a good amount of water was left at the bottom of the reservoir and the top part was not filling up to the top. I did persevere for a while but to no avail, i therefore decided to return the item.
