Bialetti Musa

You do want to wait for it to cool down. First then unscrew the top, remove the filter basket and tap those grinds out rinsing everything down to wate...

Out of the box, the Bialetti makes works great. The problems start after a couple of weeks of heavy use. In spite of cleaning exactly as instructed, the unit can't be relied on to reliably brew coffee. It will simply refuse to brew and start sputtering steam where the top and bottom are screwed toge...

I have bumped this from 2 stars to 3 stars...as the screaming of the pressure valve (described below) has subsided over the past several months. So now, it works as expected...good coffee without a shockingly loud whistle. The pot makes solid cup of coffee. However, the pressure valve screams very l...

I know Bialetti is "the company" for good espresso percolators but they need to get a handle on their product quality. This is the second one I've purchased (different model) that has had an issue with something falling off after reasonable use. The venus one had the lid come off and this one had th...

First on sizes. Decided what you need based on the Oz capacity of the pot. The "cup" sizes they use refers to demi-tasse expresso cups. Second on the models. Kitty - NOT COMPATIBLE WITH INDUCTION Musa -Lid could be better quality Venus - Just perfect What i decided to keep: 6 cup venus model Note on...

I bought the larger version of this to upgrade from another Bialetti model, only to find out that the models' actual volume of coffee made diverges from the listed volumes. This is the model with the largest negative divergence (i.e. significantly less coffee than what you shoudl get out of it). My ...

I have now purchased 2 of these because I sent the first one back, then I sent the second one back. First one, after using it for the first time and hand washing each time I used it (you have to brew coffee 3 times to clean out the pot, before actually brewing coffee to drink), I left it on my sink ...

Pros: - Coffee - Works on a gas stove - Feels solid - Shiny Cons: - Sharp edge - No reducer Just to start off the one I received was made in China. Which is fine, I'm not some crazy American who thinks Chinese products are garbage. I know Amazon is prone to counterfeits, so I'm hoping mine is not. T...

Overall, this is a better moka pot than the original all-aluminum model. No corrosion. Better control of heat. Also faster, if you use a pre-heat method: Warm up the water basin with hot water from the tap, heat water up to boiling in an electric tea kettle (for example); fill the basin, & put the p...

I have been using the Bialetti 6 cup espresso maker for a few days now. It makes a flavorful and robust cup of coffee. As for cleaning, this espresso maker isn't meant to be scrubbed and washed like one might do with dirty dishes. It is more like a Chinese tea pot that may get a rinse instead of the...
