Words alone can not describe how disappointed I am with this product (so yay, congratulations! You left me no choice but to write my first amazon review!). I was so so so soooooo excited to use this to make my own espresso but the minute I opened the package and started observing the product, I realized that this may not be a real Bialetti. The first big giveaway was the product stamp on the bottom where it’s supposed to say..idk, fully spelled out words and a complete logo?! So I started Googling, went to official website, looked at everyone else’ pictures, and I am heartbroken to say that what I received is not a real one. The top lid’s emboss isn’t identical to the real ones. The quality is horrible, itty bitty sand-like metal pieces are falling out, the cut isn’t smooth, very rough, and had scratches. I’m just sad. Definitely returning this and going to get it from the official website or William Sonoma where I can actually trust.
UPDATE: I found one more reason why I believe this is fake. The “made in Italy” text is a different text from the one shown in the box. The font shown in print is a lot thinner and more sophisticated looking than the one printed on the actual product.

How to make a perfect italian coffee
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
Select a quality blend, suitable for the production of coffee for the Moka. Fill the boiler up to the lower level of the safety valve, without exceeding it and using fresh water, possibly low in limestone. |
Fill the filter generously, without pressing the coffee powder, forming a small gutter and avoiding dust escaping on the edges of the boiler. Close the coffee pot, screwing the collector firmly onto the boiler and place it on the stove. |
The flame must never envelop the coffee maker, but remain inside the bottom of the same, in order to allow extraction in adequate times and not too quickly. As soon as you start to hear the typical Moka gurgle, the coffee is ready and you will need to turn off the fire immediately. |
Never let excess coffee boil: this would burn it, compromising its success and making it too bitter. Enjoy hot coffee, as soon as it is ready, remembering to mix the contents of the collector: the coffee extracted at the end, in fact, is less full-bodied than that leaked at the beginning of boiling. |

I am disappointed that this happened, because the coffee that it made was actually quite good when brewed correctly. I will not purchase another unless I am able to inspect it myself before purchase (for example going to a store to look; I will not purchase this online).

Coffee it makes is good if you don't mind aluminum flakes and particles in it
By Jon E. on April 13, 2016
When I first began using the Moka pot, the finished coffee had some small aluminum particles floating in it (smaller than a grain of sand). I thought this was just because it came from the factory and the Moka pot needed to be broken in. However, after I rinsed and dried the pot after use, I found that there were large flaking pieces of Aluminum coming from the inside of the top half of the pot (see picture near the right side of the hole edge). Underneath these flaking pieces, the material appears to be raw aluminum, which I do not want to come into contact with coffee that I planned to drink.By Jon E. on April 13, 2016

I should have read the reviews before purchase
By cjaimac on May 12, 2019
I purchased this based on a recommendation of a friend, but should have read the review and seen the pictures. I have contacted the sellers to either get a refund or a new product. We will see how it goes. Very disappointed as I only used this 4 times in less than one month. UPDATE: They did refund my purchase amount. Very happy about that.

Had the pleasure of using a moka pot in Abu Dhabi with my Italian flatmate, made it a point to buy it in India. After extensive research, I found Coffee Workz to be the only distributors of Bialetti. There are a number of copies floating around, did not want to fall prey to any of that.Reviewed in India on March 22, 2019
Extremely delighted with my purchase and the service provided by Coffee Workz. Goes really well with Lavazza coffee. This moka pot will never disappoint you!
