Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2018
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.
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.
