Bialetti - New Venus Induction, stainless steel hob espresso coffee maker, suitable for all heat sources, 6 cups, aluminum, silver

Looks so nice and makes amazing coffee when done correctly

It is a Bialetti Moka pot and behaves as the other Bialetti pots (classic Aluminium) that I own. I would advise the basket will hold 18-20 grammes dependent on grind size. Some reviews mention that the handle detaches easily and the instructions state not to use the handle to tighten the top to bottom as is possible with the classic design but the taller round body is easy to grip and achieve a good seal. I can't comment on the induction hob compatibility but it works fine on the small ring of my gas hob which I would reckon is a fairly standard size of about 5.5 cm diameter. I would suggest that if you are considering purchasing this item that it may be worth watching the price fluctuations as the day after I purchased mine Amazon reduced the price by about 30%.

New Bialetti Venus with changed design. Made in China. Previous version was not made in Italy either(was made in Romania) only classical aluminium version is still made in Italy. But this is Bialetti designed. Made from stainless steel which is easier to clean and no aftertaste of aluminium version. The lower section designed work on any stove including induction. I use it on electrical stove it works like a charm. The main advantage to buy Bialetti is service parts availability. This makes this moka pot last forever ( which I could not say about expensive expresso machine which start to leak after one year and no spare parts on internet). The service parts are the another reason to pick up major brand like Bialetti over no name, no service parts alternatives. This moka pot are simple to maintain and lots of service gaskets available from any retailer. Consumer grade expresso machines (under £200) are disposable items with little chances to repair it and would last for just a little over one year on average (till warranty last). Results of the coffee is in between of French press and Electric Expresso machine: no muddiness of french press and as strong as expresso machine but flavours extracted slightly more blunt that from expresso machine but more tasteful than filter coffee maker. So this is excellent budget buy. Makes a good coffee, inexpensive to buy and maintain. As alternative good professional grade expresso machine (over £200 budget) will gives better results. But moka pot is still better than cheap consumer grade electric expresso machines.

Works as intended and is easy to clean. It also brews good coffee. No complaints so far, although it is still too early to give a definitive verdict, as I have only used it twice.

I have used this everyday for the last two years! It's absolutely amazing and works on our induction oven! Im very impatient and I prob shouldn't put it on the highest temperature when using it as I've had a few explosions of coffee .. but I've got 3 boys and having this makes me a much better mum! It's now looking a bit battered and has changed colour / rusted a bit and as my boys say it sounds like a train is coming in to my kitchen when I boil it! Still wouldn't be without it .., I'm very happy with this purchase!!!

Beautiful and works well

I had a well known brand basic electric espresso maker which I used for years but it started playing up - I bought a new one, same issues occurred. I now have a gas stove and decided to try one of these little stove top coffee makers instead. At a fraction of the price of my electric espresso maker, I wasn’t sure it would do the job - how wrong, it makes fabulous coffee. I got the 6 espresso cup size and that with milk added makes a huge mug of coffee, probably two normal size mugs. I followed the instructions- did three coffees and threw away before making the first coffee to drink. You fill the water below the seal, add coffee put together and put on stove using a modest heat - you don’t want the flames to extend beyond the base. It doesn’t take long before you hear it gurgle and coffee is brewed. It pours nicely and the handle isn’t hot - probably helped by not having the flames beyond the base. The instructions advise you to replace the seal every year if it doesn’t need replacing before then. I have made a note in my calendar. I would agree with another reviewer a fill line inside for the water would be handy but minor niggle. It’s a very smart machine that’s easy to clean. Best thing though is definitely the fab coffee. I’m going to look at getting the bigger size for when I have guests.

There is no way this is the size for 6 coffee cups. Six espresso cups maybe. The item also looks like it is a returned item. All internal packaging held together with sellotape!!!!

Kvalitet och brygger gott kaffe

Min Moka Pot är för fyra koppar och fungerar bra på min induktionsspis. Styrkan på kaffet lyckas jag varierar väldigt mycket, beroende på hur många gram kaffe, hur fint jag maler, om jag använder aeropress pappersfilter eller inte, och hur låg temperatur jag har på spisplattan. Jag har fått fram kaffe som påminner om bryggning i filterbryggare såväl som kaffe som är halvvägs till espresso. Utan filterpapper och på mitten temperaturen på spisen, så blir det ungefär samma styrka som filterkaffe. Det står att det är för fyra koppar kaffe, men... Som mest kan jag fylla Moka potten med 190 ml vatten och som för det mesta får jag ut 120-135 ml kaffe. Så om du är van vid enkel espresso så stämmer det att det är fyra koppar, men kaffet är inte i närheten så stark och om du är van vid 2 dl per kopp, så känns koppen drygt halvfull. Om jag bara brygger kaffe åt mig själv är denna lagom stor eller på gränsen till för liten. Om jag skulle brygga kaffe åt mig själv och någon annan, så skulle jag köpa en större.

Combined with home grounded coffe this little thing makes extremely good coffee. Stainless steel both looks and is a lot better than the cheaper ones in aluminum (wich is really not good for the health!!).

Die Bialetti sieht wirklich schön und hochwertig aus und macht auch in der Küche optisch etwas her. Die Handhabung ist unkompliziert und bisher funktioniert alles so, wie es soll. Besonders gut gefällt mir, dass sie sich nach der Benutzung schnell und einfach reinigen lässt. Bin bisher sehr zufrieden.

Ürünü hemen teslim aldım. Ürün özellikleri anlatıldığı gibi son derece kaliteli. Tavsiye edildiği gibi temizliğini yaptım ve kahveyi demledim. İtalya'da içtiğim kahvelerden hiçbir farkı yoktu. Muhteşem oldu. Teşekkürler Amazon, teşekkürler Bialetti 🙏
