Before buying the Musa, I used the Bialetti Moka Express for about 4 years and loved it. Then I bought the Musa, expecting the same perfection, but I was very disappointed. The Musa is more of a coffee maker than an espresso maker. True, it makes an amazing cup of coffee, but it is far too weak to be used in a cappuccino or latte. I found that I had to use twice as many shots to have the same potency as my old Moka Express which means a lot less room for steamed milk and less servings all around. If you don't mind the aluminum, get the Moka Express instead.

This little pot makes a great, smooth cup of coffee, and I like its appearance. There are two drawbacks. First, the lid opening mechanism is a lovely sculptural shape, but doesn't really work. As a previous reviewer mentioned, one doesn't have much reason to use it, so it's not a serious drawback. The other, more serious problem is the difficulty I've had in tightening the base when assembling the pot after filling with water and ground coffee. The base is quite wide, and for those with small hands, or with arthritis, this can be very hard to do. I have found my way around this by cutting a small piece of non-slip rug padding, and using it to get a better grip. One can also use a damp paper towel for this purpose. Overall, I'm very happy with this product.

Moka pots are an excellent way to make coffee at home. They're fairly easy to use and will produce very full-flavored coffee. For the price, the coffee can't be beat.
The Musa is a very nice pot from Bialetti. The satin finish is attractive and the shape allows for easy pouring. My only complaint about the design involves the thumb-tab to open the lid. It's a bit awkward -- luckily, there's almost no reason to ever use it.
For half the price, you might consider one of Bialetti's basic aluminum moka pots. With the Musa, you're essentially paying for a little bit of extra style. You may also want to consider paying a little more for Bialetti's Brikka pot, which uses a special valve to produce a stronger espresso with crema.

Check out this pot
I purchased this pot because I love my other Bialetti Musa pot. However, this is a piece of junk. The only thing I can say in defense of it is it's made of stainless steel, though... Read more

Great for ESPRESSO
It seems like several of the low-ratings are a result of people thinking that this pot is for regular coffee - it isn't, it is for espresso. Read more

Poor Quality
The fit is bad and the pot spews steam out the side, right under the handle. Made several pots to make sure it wasn't me, but no good. Read more

Not as large as I thought it would be, but of much better quality than the one I had previously ordered. It is what I was looking for as far as material and quality.

super-convenient and sturdy
This is my second Bialetti stovetop percolator. I needed a bigger one because now I'm making coffee for two. This size is perfect for us, it makes exactly 2 half-cups of espresso. Read more
