Bialetti Rainbow Espresso Maker for 6 Cups, Aluminium, Red, 30 x 20 x 15 cm [Energy Class A+]

This was my first proper go at owning and using my own perculator. I love the colour, and the build quality seems fine. I have seen some comments in his sturdy the hinge for the to lid is (some say not very). I feel it's pretty good, though it will certainly fail if you tried. Basically it's not flimsy, but it's not a tank either...I clean after every use simply by rinsing with hot water. I read somewhere that using washing up liquid can affect the aluminium and/or the oils left from the coffee itself. Not sure how much I believe, but so far so good (i.e. problem free).Colour is vivid and the build quality feels very good. I expect to have this for a while!Beware it is capable of spurting coffee across the stove top if you don't pay attention with the lid open!Would certainly buy a bigger one if I was making coffee for more people.

Great addition to the kitchen, looks great and makes fab coffee.

So far, I’m really pleased with my Rainbow light blue Bialetti. It’s eye-catching and looks good! After reading reviews that the paint discolours when exposed to a naked gas flame, I make sure I place it on the smallest gas ring and ensure the flames don’t go above the base.I like the fact there is a water line inside and it has a quality feel. I wondered where it’s made and I think it’s Romania - see photo of base.

Very well made and makes beautiful coffee.

Compact easy to use and in a lovely bright colour

I love it. Still, FYI, it's only big for 1 large cup of coffee.

Bialetti is basically a sacred among my Italian friends and now I know why. I'd been disappointed by a lot of moka coffee but after making sure to watch a tutorial so I know how to use it properly I'm having lovely round, fruity coffee every day and I have stopped buying it from coffee shops. Somehow it's also stopped making me paranoid- not sure of that's a difference in percolation or because it's so nice to use!

Having purchased 22/6/20 I have been nothing but disappointed with this supposedly high end mocha pot ! From the start it leaks from the lid where the handle attaches to the body dripping over the stove & now I’ve noticed the paint enamel is bubbling up around the rim of the water pot !! It also has a strange metallic smell to it despite being washed !! In all a piece of crap which I will be returning for a refund & going back to using my £5 EBay mocha maker
