Product Description

Product Description

In Italy, espresso is coffee. Any other type of coffee is foreign. When made with a professional pump machine, espresso has a crema - a creme like froth floating atop the coffee. It isn't milk. It's the coffee itself. It adds a rich coating to an already delicious brew. Stovetop espresso makers generally can't produce that crema. That's where the Bialetti Brikka shines. It's a stovetop espresso maker that has a special valve that allows crema to form. So now you can have espresso with crema and celebrate the taste of true Italian coffee anytime. Stylish Octagonal Design Aluminum Coffee Maker And Filter Stainless Steel Funnel Size (HxWxD) - 8 x 4 x 4

Excellent coffeemaker! Makes perfect espresso. Don't be fooled by the size. Four cups means four tiny cups, one sip each. Don't plan on using this thing to make coffee for your friends. Maximum two people can enjoy this at a time and only if they are used to drinking coffee in European quantities.

One con: hard to clean and the old smell tends to linger, especially in the bottom part of the apparatus. Another, do not attempt to wash it in a dishwasher; though nothing dramatic, but the chrome plating is gone, which gave the thing older vintage look :-)
