Product Description

Adding eclectic character to the kitchen stovetop, this polished-aluminum coffee pot features a unique octagon shape that was first designed in Italy in 1933. The unit makes nine 2-ounce espresso cups of coffee in just four to five minutes and is extremely simple to use. Just fill the lower chamber with water and the top filter with fine-ground coffee. Then place the pot on the stove and heat until the water boils. Through a pressurizing process, espresso moves to the upper chamber of the pot, ready to be served. Other highlights include a flip-up top with an easy-grip knob, a stay-cool black plastic handle, and a side-pour spout. When finished using the unit, wash it by hand with warm soapy water and rinse clean. Made in Italy. Aluminum, stovetop espresso maker produces 9 demitasse cups of rich, authentic Italian espresso in just 4-5 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Brew Every Time!, August 3, 2005

The Bialetti Moka Express 3-Cup Coffeemaker is fantastic. I enjoy it immensely. Word of warning, don't forget to put water in it before placing on the stove! And if you have a gas stove with an open flame, do not use a flame that exceeds the size of the coffeemaker. The handle will melt.

5.0 out of 5 stars No More $4 Lattes!, September 21, 2008

By 

S.H. "Sania" (nyc usa) - See all my reviews

I love, love, LOVE my Bialetti Espresso Maker. Easy to use and works like a charm. Goes to show simple really is best, as opposed to the several hundred dollar hi-fi espresso makers sold at the department store. I've been making lattes and cafe au laits on a regular basis, and I couldn't be happier. I've used it for guests, and they like the lattes made at home more than the ones at the coffee stores. This is a GREAT product, works beautifully, and once you get the measurements down, you won't go anywhere else. If there is one complaint I have, it's that scrubbing the inside of the bottom half is difficult due to the small opening. Anyone have a solution for this?
