This is the BEST!!,
By Rence (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews I can't tell how many times I've used it since (sometimes twice or three pots a day) and I haven't had a problem with it at all. My guests love it as well. If the flame is medium, it doesn't leak. As soon as I hear the milk or cream frothing, I take it off the stove and put it on the sink (just in case, but it hasn't overflowed over since that first time I used it). It's superfast, and it's supereasy to clean. This little product is saving me lots of money because I no longer desire to buy Cappuccino from Starbucks. My only complaint about this product is that it has a two-cup capacity. That would be a two-espresso-cup capacity. So if you buy this product don't think it will make 16oz. And keep the flame low-medium. And take it off the heat when the milk starts frothing :)

Great buy, you can't do better in this price range,

This review is from: Bialetti 6990 Mukka Express Cappuccino Maker, Polished Aluminum (Kitchen)
ok, let's be honest, if your looking to spend less than $400 this is probably your best bet. Anything under that price is going to have it's idiosyncrasies (read "problems") But for the money this is a great buy, and if you take some time with it in the beginning you'll be happier in the end. And in the time that I have had mine here's what I learned.
First off - read the instructions! - Throw away the first 3 - 5 cups (read "don't drink") think of this as seasoning your Mukka - Use a coarse espresso grind, too fine and the water doesn't make it through and then it's leaking all over your stove. - Don't pack-down (tamp) the grounds in the filter basket, see problem above. - Don't fill the filter basket with grounds while it is sitting in the water reservoir, instead hold it in your hand over the sink to prevent getting grounds all over the seals. See problem above. - Clean all the grounds off the seals. See problem above. - Wet the seals with water before brewing. See problem above. - Turn the heat down, adjust your gas so that the flame doesn't go past the edge of the mukka, this will improve your foam although I don't know the physics of it, it just seems to work better if the heat isn't too high. - Use "cold" Whole milk, I have tried 2%, half and half, 1/2 2% and 1/2 half and half, and had the best foam with whole milk, but it isn't ever going to be "micro-foam" and it's not going to come out white, cause the coffee does the steaming. - Let the Mukka steam the milk and then wait a minute leaving it on the heat till it steams again, I think that second boil is important for taste,and it makes the coffee good and hot. - Pour your cappucino or latte into a cup and IMMEDIATELY clean the Mukka, or at least soak it with water so the milk doesn't dry up. Don't worry your coffee will still be hot. See suggestion above. - on the steamer there is a black button you push for cappucino and below that a gray collar you can lift up. PULL UP ON THE GRAY COLLAR and rotate the steaming mechanism counter clockwise to remove the steamer. If you don't pull up on the gray collar good luck on getting the steaming mechanism off. Cappucino - button down Latte - Button up Espresso - no Milk, button up Cafe Americano - add water instead of milk, to line, button up So with about a month of time in on my Mukka I have started to get good latte's from it, hopefully these suggestions shorten that time for you. And I have stopped going to "fourbucks" every morning so it is also saving me money.

Takes a little practice...,

This review is from: Bialetti 6990 Mukka Express Cappuccino Maker, Polished Aluminum (Kitchen)
...and if you do it makes a great latte or cappucino. Follow the directions explicitly, or you could have a mess on your hands, as some other reviewers have reported. Now that I've had it a couple of months, it comes out perfectly (including lots of foam, if that's what you choose)99% of the time. When there is a problem (leaking, exploding, etc., as noted by others) it's because you haven't done something right. When instructions are followed, it works just great. Some things to particularly watch out for:
-Be certain the rubber seal is properly seated. -Check to make sure you have properly screwed the two main parts together - correctly and securely. -Observe fill line guidelines strictly - if you put in either too much water or milk, it will overflow. There is nothing inherently wrong with the design - when I've had problems, it's been my error. The instructions are clear and thorough - just don't be hasty or careless and you will love this item. 2115|R2N52JLSSKC5I7;2115|R1NWNKRTDN863F;2115|R3UY6LGU6NH61W;
