If you like expresso or lattes and you are looking for convenience and portability, here's your answer. Simply unscrew the top from the bottom. Fill the bottom to the line with water. Place the metal filter in the bottom and fill with your favorite ground coffee. Now, screw the top half of the pot back on - place the pot on the electric heating plate and wait 5-6 minutes to pour excellent coffee. I like to warm lowfat milk in the microwave while I wait. The coffee beeps when it's ready, and you simply pour. Sweeten to taste. A full pot makes one venti-sized latte or six espresso sized portions. Barristas unite!

I owned the first model of Bialetti electric moka pot, which didn't have a separate base. It was used daily with no problem, then just stopped working. It was still under warranty so the company replaced it with this model as soon as it was available; it was distributed in Italy before the USA. Their customer service staff were wonderful to work with.
The difference in the new electric moka model is that the base, which houses the electric switch, is now separate. I've been using this model daily for almost a year now, with absolutely no problems.
Stovetop models make a better "espresso type" coffee, producing some crema on top. I still use my stovetop moka pots at home because I have the leisure time to watch & listen for the brewing to finish.
The electric pot is kept at work, where I can enjoy wonderful coffee brewing right in my office, instead of the tasteless coffee brewed in the breakroom. Not having to worry about the coffee burning, if I have to step out while it's brewing, is a big advantage. The light turns green and the pot beeps distinctly for about 1 minute when the brewing is finished, then it shuts itself off. It brews coffee faster than my stovetop moka pots at home. Supposedly it will keep the coffee warm for about 20 minutes, but I pour mine immediately, so I've never tested that feature! It brews about 10oz. of strong, espresso-type coffee (with a small amount of crema), to which I add 6 oz. of milk heated in the microwave. Illy is the brand of coffee I use; they've just come out with a new product especially for moka coffee, ground a bit coarser.
I've no complaints about Bialetti's product! This wonderful electric moka pot has saved me the money that I used to squander daily at Starbucks. I'm also less rushed & frazzled in the morning because I don't have to wait in long lines at SB's, and I get to work thirty minutes early. Several people in my building bought this model after tasting my coffee, and I've heard nothing but rave reviews from them.

The coffee is great - fuller and richer than with our Mr. Coffee. We loved our little pot - and after three weeks, the power base just stopped working. The return to Target will be simple - just drop it by the store - but I hesitate to buy another.
For those who dare: be sure to keep your coffeemaker very dry [it's best to store it disassembled], be careful never to add water above the escape valve [or it can blow], screw it together tightly and hold the coffeemaker not the handle when you twist. And for us, this made one large mug.
I'm giving it a 3 since it broke so soon [and believe me, I pampered the little pot]. The coffee tastes great!

Bought two...both broke.
I loved this machine (the Bialetti Easy Cafe) for the two weeks it actually worked. Then the power base broke, for seemingly no reason. It just wouldn't come back on. Read more

Good price, but question the quality
I recently started drinking espresso (1/2 year), so by no mean am I an export. This espresso maker does a pretty good job. The only problem I have is the quality. Read more

Love it so far! Just one question...
I just bought the Bialetti Electric Espresso maker and so far I love it! I have only used it a few times, and it makes more espresso than I can drink at one time. Read more

Fantastic - so glad I purchased.
This machine lets you make espresso, but you don't have to stand there to make sure it doesn't explode like the stovetop kind. Read more

Leaks
I want to rate this well because the coffee comes out great; dark European style which is my preference.
However, it leaks. Read more

Works well, but I never wait for it to shut off!
The upper unit of this device is the same as their Italian-made stove top pot. I have serious doubts that the electric base is made in Italy. Read more

Not so Hot
I love hot, hot espresso. This pot is nice, but the coffee is not as hot as one made on a stove.

Even better than the stove top version!
I have a Bialetti stove-top espresso maker at home, that I use every morning. I wanted to make espresso in the afternoon while at work, so I ordered the Easy Cafe model. Read more
