Questions & Answers
Brew until the upper chamber is completely full of liquid coffee. A burbling sound will come from the spout of the upper chamber pipe. Lift the lid gently to see the coffee rise to the surface. Turn off the flame and serve once it has finished bubbling up and the upper chamber has been filled. br>I would not recommend using this special edition alpina. Keep it on display in the credenza as a special keepsake. Buy a regular 6 cup moka for everyday use and be practical. You get your money's worth time after time, and you don't have to worry about your alpina model wearing out. This is what I do for a living. If you'll be entertaining guests, get an 8-cup model. Every day, I make use of my 6-cup moka. In my credenza, my alpina is kept in perfect condition. I hope you find this information useful.
Hello. br>br>Unfortunately, the Moka Alpina is only available in three cup sizes. It's also only available in a limited number of copies. It's a lovely pot that will look great on any counter.br>br> It's one of Bialetti's top three albums of all time! br>br>However, I was hoping for a 6 Cup Model as well. br>br>If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Made in Romania was clearly marked on the one I delivered in October of 2020. On the box, there is a sticker that says Made in Italy.
Yes! Aluminum was used to create it. It's the most adorable coffeepot I've ever seen. You'll enjoy it if you get it. It's a little pricey, but it's well worth it for the charm and history.
Selected User Reviews For Bialetti - Moka Express Alpina: Iconic Stovetop Espresso Maker, Moka Pot 3 Cups (4.3 Oz - 130 Ml), Aluminium, Green
I received the cafetera on time and in excellent condition, right down to the lovely caja in which she is kept. br>Puedes usarla como adorno en la cocina, en mi caso en mi oficina, y luce muy bien en el anaquel de los tintos, dando a la área mucha elegancia. br>The only drawback is that the tapa's "pluma" is made of plastic, which makes it very fragile and susceptible to cracking as the temperature rises. As a result of this, he received epoxied soldadura and the matter was resolved. br>The company advised him to make it out of aluminum or a more durable plastic, but I'm not sure if he could get this accessory separately if it broke. br>However, this is a fantastic product in general.
Because the handle is thinner than that of the Moka Express, it frequently burns you when you pick it up. br>br>Eight months after purchase, the feather that allows you to open the lid without burning your fingers began to come out and not go back into its hole. It is not possible to repair or replace the feather. In comparison, the lid knob on the Moka Express is integrated with the top's metal, whereas the feather on the Moka Alpina top is not. br>br>It's pretty, but it's not practical or long-lasting.
I love how simple it is to use these Italian coffee makers, and 3 cups is the perfect size for me. br>Not as easy to clean as this one, as you must be cautious of the paint and the plastic "leaf," but nothing too serious. br>Apart from the cleaning, the only other disadvantage I can think of is that opening the top is more difficult; I actually have to pull the leaf open XDbr>The "regular" Bialettis have a little tip on the top. br>Also, it's slightly larger than the other three cup Bialletis, but that's just nitpicking on my part. br>The package arrived in excellent condition and on time.
It has a rubber seal that releases toxins into your espresso over time. It's in your mouth. The little plast feather falls out all the time; it's a shoddy design, and the green quickly fades to black. The bottom metal is rough and unfinished, allowing coffee to easily stain it. It's gimmick trash with a name, and a small group of military and Italian enthusiasts refuses to buy it or any of their other products until they improve the quality.
This coffee maker is one of my favorites. I have a number of Bialetti, but this one is particularly popular. Other reviews are too focused on the flaws. After you've used a bialetti, you'll need to know how to open it. Holding on to the plastic bits is never a good idea. Instead, twist only the aluminum halves together, as these mocha makers should last at least a decade.
It's stylish and well-made in Romania. Unless you're choosing based on the visuals, there's no need for this orange item. br>You can save a few dollars by choosing a different model from the same manufacturer. br>Please keep in mind that it is made of aluminum rather than stainless steel.
My daily espresso is made a little more interesting with this mini Tyrolean espresso maker. The construction is sturdy, the paint is long-lasting (so far), but only time will tell if the plastic feather in the cap/lid breaks or melts. The only minor drawback to this coffee maker is the lack of a handle on the lid. Aside from that, it's a good-sized pot.
This is such a sweet little moka maker! It's made of steel, just like the rest of the Bialetti espresso machines. This, however, will fall short for true American coffee drinkers, as it contains only three shots of espresso. br>br>The ones sold by Bialetti in Italy are much larger and less expensive, but for a product that is available in the United States - This would make a great gift, Sunday brunch item, or camping food. br>br>Take note of the images I've included - This is a very small maker. The height of your travel coffee mug and an sbux grande are nearly identical. My finish was free of scratches, and it arrived in excellent condition for the holidays.
