 Coffee shop quality cappuccino in your own home! July 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought my Bialetti Moka Express along with the bodum milk frother. I couldn't believe how good the espresso tasted, coming from such an inexpensive device. I've been used to a drip/filter machine with a milk frother but the 'cappuccinos' it makes don't even compare to those made with the Bialetti. I thoroughly recommend this to anyone- it takes 3/4 minutes and a small amount of skill to make the perfect espresso!
I use Lavazza coffee beans and grind them finely. When coffee starts to 'sputter', remove from heat source. Then heat your milk to nearly boiling and froth to double in size. Pour your desired amount of espresso into cup (I fill to 1/3 of a standard coffee cup) then spoon in your frothed milk and enjoy!!

I bought one of these like a year ago, and I come back to amazon to look for another espresso maker, because the old one still making coffee but somehow,it taste worst than ever and is also affecting my stomach. Cant be me beacuse my girlfriend feels the same and I also tried buying from nero and got no problems.
Im spanish and everyone there has one of these coffee maker at home,so I know what Im talking about. This one is not good quality.My mum has the same one for more than 15 years!

I bought this as a replacement for a cheaper stove-top espresso maker that I broke, thinking that this would be a superior model to my old one. The Bialetti is an inferior machine to my old one:
*It is poorly cast in thinner metal than my previous machine,
*The aluminium of the interior has oxidised and discoloured- a problem I never had before and
*The rubber of the seal still leaves an unpleasant aftertaste to the coffee
Therefore I cannot recommend this machine
The best expresso I've had April 20, 2008

I wanted to make expressos but didn't like the idea of a full-on electric one for many reasons; cost, size and cleaning hassel. This little device is perfect. Simple to use, simple to clean and makes the best expresso I've had.
My preference is for a latte. I fill the Bialetti Moka to just above the mark, heat 250ml of milk then add 100ml (2 expressos - one third yeild) of expresso. Perect. The rest I make into "White Americanos" by adding boild water and a little milk - it doesn't matter if the expresso has cooled by then.
Read the other reviews; I buy finely ground coffee (Percol Fairtrade Espresso Organic Coffee from Ocado) and compress it just a bit. One can change the strength of the final product by altering the amount of coffee and how compressed it is in the filter goody.
 Great but doesn't make 2 mugs of coffee March 15, 2008

I use this to make 'long' coffee, not espresso. It works really well - no complaints about the coffee quality. The only problem is the size. There's nothing about capacity in the product details, so I bought this one based on an earlier review saying it makes 2 mugs of long coffee. Well ... not with the mugs in our house! (And I'd say our mugs are pretty standard size). I wish I'd bought the next size up.
