Yes, I use mine on a glass-top stove, and it functions flawlessly. I simply move it to the burner's edge to ensure that the handle is not directly over the heat.
Italy is the place where it all began.
I bought one a long time ago. Only hand wash; does not fade.
Selected User Reviews For Bialetti - Moka Express Italia Collection: Iconic Stovetop Espresso Maker, Makes Real Italian Coffee, Moka Pot 3 Cups (4.3 Oz - 130 Ml), Aluminium, Colored in Red Green Silver
This Moka Maker is an excellent choice. The company is regarded as one of Europe's best. It does not, however, work well on ceramic stovetops that are powered by electricity. It is primarily intended for use with stovetops that use fire. At least, that's how my stovetop worked. When the water began to boil, the coffee maker slid around on the stovetop.
What I got was not the same as the picture. There is no Bialetti inscription on the lid. This item was not made in Italy. It did not come in a box. There is no tape on the product box. br>(Update) compared to the silver one (see photo) I ordered directly from Bialetti's website, the package itself, the size of letters and logos, and the absence of an 'authentic' letter. This is a very well-hidden copy.
I started with a Keurig 2 and quickly progressed to a Keurig 3. I liked it a lot, but buying coffee for it was expensive, and the touch screen went blank after two years. br>After purchasing a French press, I began to appreciate my coffee even more. I had enough for four 8-ounce servings. There's a limit to how many cups you can have. I purchased a Bialetti 6 cup and began brewing Lavazza cappuccinos every morning. This coffee pot is much less expensive than an espresso machine, and I adore it. It comes highly recommended. I'm excited to go camping with it. The price is excellent, and the product is of very high quality. br>Keep in mind that a 6 cup Moka Pot is equivalent to a large mug of coffee in the United States. I do not completely fill the filter. Only about two-thirds of the way through a filter basket I've tried both hot and cold water in the boiler. I didn't notice a difference in taste when I heated half and half on a separate burner and then poured it into the pan. Following each use, I recommend cleaning.
After a few months, I noticed that the coating on the inside of the top container was fading. I've never cleaned it with soap. Always use hot water to clean it, then wipe it down and allow it to dry. And never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, It's simple to use, clean, and has a great flavor from espresso-roasted beans. However, it is very unfortunate that it now appears to be like this (see photos). I'm hoping I'll be able to replace it.
Maybe it's because it's red, but this thing isn't the same as the original. In my opinion, the flavor is still the same. "Blending power" is a term I'm unfamiliar with. Isn't that something the Power Puff Girls' Bubbles can do? Cleaning is a breeze. Bialettis have an unusual shape and are notoriously difficult to clean, but this one is particularly difficult. In addition, the red at the bottom has turned orange. Anyway, I like Moka pots, but I'm reconsidering their use in my kitchen because they're made of aluminum, don't seem to last long, and are difficult to clean. They do, however, make excellent espresso. That is something that I cannot argue with.
Okay, it took me a while to figure out that it was a hoax. Perhaps this is simply Bialetti's new normal. br>br>I read a lot of reviews and came across these 1-star reviews. It's being claimed by celebrities that it's a hoax. However, I decided to give it a shot in the hopes that this would not be the case with me. WRONG. Here are some thoughts: br>br> br>1 After the first use, the tricolor model's bottom color changed from red to orange. There is a special small instruction paper (which, by the way, they accidentally put two of in the box) that says to ALWAYS use the low heat setting on your stove to avoid discoloration. (What the hell is going on? )br>2 There are no other instructions provided (some people on the internet claim there are first-use instructions in the original box that say you should throw away three first brews, etc. ). br>3 There are no spare gaskets in the box (I'd assume there should be since every spare original funnel comes with one). br>4 The funnel has a cheap feel to it, and the most important aspect of it - It's riddled with holes that are far too big. Even coarsely ground coffee, let alone espresso fine grind, finds its way into the bottom water tank with ease. br>5 The metal finish isn't quite what I expected based on what I saw online. It's not bad, and it's hard to tell at first glance, but this isn't how the good old bialetti moka pots look on the inside;br>6 The stamp on the button is only partially visible, and there are other reviews saying the same (the ones I looked at in Target store have the same issue, can't see what's written on the bottom)br>7 Tricolor pot should have the black-and-white tricolor pot should have the black-and-white According to the bialetti com website, this logo is colored, but it comes in white. br>8 The logo painting quality is poor - The white fill isn't completely solid (as seen in the photo)br>9 There are no round stamps on the inside of the lid; br>10 After the first use, the color of aluminum inside changed due to oxidation - This could be fine, but I'm not sure; I hope it's safe to drink from. br>br>As a result, I returned it and began looking for a place to purchase an authentic Italian pot. I haven't had any luck so far. I'm hoping it's not just Bialetti's new normal of poor quality.
Bialetti is widely regarded as one of the best espresso machines available. My mother is an Italian woman. One that my mother-in-law brought from Italy over 40 years ago is still in her possession. It has a straightforward design, and if you enjoy brewing your own espresso, this is the machine for you. In a related note, Bialetti has been in the news recently as a company that is having financial difficulties and whose future is uncertain. If you've been thinking about getting a Moka Express, now might be the time.
Used on a regular basis by 15-year-olds. It's still stunning. The colored one, which we bought so that we could make two pots of coffee at once instead of using the same pot twice, fell apart, as you can see, and leaked between the top and the bottom. bottom of the pile When you unscrew the top from the bottom, those two pieces in the front should not fall out. The silver one has never experienced anything like this. As you can see, the red paint has changed color after only a few hours of use.
