Great Espresso!!,
By
This review is from: Bialetti Musa 10-Cup Stovetop Percolator (Kitchen)
This makes great espresso!! Here are a few tips to make a perfect cup of espresso: Remember to fill the water just below the safety valve. Too much water can prevent the valve from working properly. It's kinda like a pressure cooker. Too much water can cause problems.
Don't overfill the funnel with too much coffee. Too much coffee in the funnel can cause the coffee not to brew properly. I fill it just below the top edge of the funnel. Set your burner to medium or medium low and watch it carefully. Don't walk away because it can get ahead of you. Besides, watching the coffee brew is kinda cool ;) Keep working at it and you'll get the hang of it and pretty soon, you'll LOVE it! I use mine everyday and have had it for a few years now and I haven't had a single problem with it. Remember it is NOT the same espresso that you find at Starbucks. This makes traditional Italian espresso. ** UPDATE 4/7/2011: I'm still using this espresso maker. It operates perfectly. Like I said in my original review, make sure you do not have your burner on too high. Keep it on medium to medium low. You can adjust the burner if you need to depending on the make and model of your unit. I've noticed that several reviewers have had problems with their maker. I've never had issues with mine. Perhaps their burner was on too high at the time and they didn't realize it. This maker reacts like a pressure cooker. With a pressure cooker, you have to keep an eye on your burner. Keep the heat low and it will work perfectly. Always check your unit to make sure the gasket is okay. If it's cracked, it needs to be replaced.

Musa Espresso Maker,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bialetti Musa 10-Cup Stovetop Percolator (Kitchen)
Like everyone else I dislike the tab on the top to open this thing up, but you don't need to do it much. Overall it's a nice machine for what I was trying to accomplish: greater volume and stainless steel. It's puzzling to me that the vessel at the top holds so much more than the bottom, so it's hard to judge when it is done because the top will only be about 1/2 full and it doesn't make as much noise as my last espresso maker so sometimes I wait too long and other times there is still water in the bottom when I'm cleaning it. But when I get it right the espresso is very good and I am pretty pleased with this product. I hope this helps you. I was greatly helped in selecting this one from the reviews of others.

I have just replaced my old Bialetti stove-top after 16 years of quality coffee. If you know your espresso then you won't be reading this but otherwise you can not go past this brand and quality. Stainless steel DOES make a difference in taste and life of the product despite what they might tell you at the coffee shops. Despite this machine being marketed as a peculator it really does produce espresso coffee if you do everything right ie fine coffee grind and fill your filter and tamp it lightly to ensure the real thing. Cheers Amazon, your price was the same as the downtown place here in New Zealand who were out of stock.
