10 cup! Love it! Actually 2-3 cups. Just enough for me. I know, I am completely self involved.😂

I have the stainless steel Bialetti Venus Moka pots in 2 cup and 4 cup, plus a 2 cup Bialetti Brikka that makes a lot of crema.

I had one of these but upgraded to an induction hob so now it’s just for using when camping. Got an Alessi Pulcina instead, not the classic design but maybe a future classic.
Have to admit I just start it up with cold water, can’t be bothered scalding my fingers every morning.

3, 6, 6 Dolce & Gabban& 12. Yea. Love me some Moka pot

20 + grams packs quite a punch and the bloom looks like a really good idea minus the aero press filter

A few tips I never tried before, cheers. What do you suggest for the limescale build-up in the heating vessel? Oh, and what's the model of your fabulous ECM espresso machine?

Great. Have three different types of pots... They're great for camping..

I drink coffee with thick cream keto style

Bialetti says clean it after every use with hot water, never use soap! Then wipe it dry with a clean cloth. That keeps them clean. But once a month you can boil plain water through it to deep clean it. For Mokas that need more cleaning due to neglect, the Bialetti website has instructions for deep cleaning with vinegar or citric acid.

Bialetti told me, "The official correct grind for the Moka pot is medium-fine." Most espressos are too fine for the Moka, but the espressos sold in Italian grocery stores are ground for the Moka: illy, Lavazza, Kimbo, Bialetti Perfetto Moka, etc. For the best flavor, disregard the Specialty Coffee influencers' hacks and stick to the traditional Italian way since 1933, which aligns with Bialetti instructions. Bialetti grosses $180 Million per year, they can afford the very best science and taste testing, they know how to make the Moka produce the best flavor very simply. See "Annalisa J Moka pot" video.

Just had my first cup. I feel like I can run a marathon.

Don’t forget to air dry it and not screw it back up damp! It will only cause mould inside your pot!

It's a myth that starting with cold or room temperature filtered water, per Bialetti instructions, results in bitter coffee! Italians prevent bitterness by using a low gas flame or preheated medium stove and removing the pot from the stove early, the instant it starts to gurgle, then letting it finish brewing off the stove from the heat inside the pot. Then stir up the most-concentrated coffee from the bottom and pour. For more info about the traditional Italian technique, search for "Annalisa J Moka pot" video.

Is was taught that using aluminum is a danger to our health. These originally made pots were before the knowledge of the danger was known, yet they are still being produced. I opted for one of Bialetti’s food safe stainless steel models. Works exactly the same as the original.

Great review Gregor! I need one of these now! It would be perfect while out camping & at home 👍🏻

[anthonyhomercycling]

I have same as yours. Mine is electric.

I've been using cold water for almost a year and I NEVER had bitter coffee. I always use low heat. Americans need to understand how to make Italian coffee 🤦‍♂️.
