Rainbow Moka Pot in Green, 6 Cup Stove Top Espresso Maker - Aluminum Cafetera for Ground Coffee, Italian Coffee Maker for Home Brewing

I got the 6-cup green Rainbow Moka Pot. Bialleti rate their pots in espresso servings. My wife and I use the Moka when we want to make milk drinks. A 6-cup machine is about right for brewing 2 American-style coffees with milk. So this pot can brew anything from 2-6 servings depending on your usage. The green 6-cup Rainbow has a design that's a blend of retro and contemporary. It looks gorgeous alongside a classic KitchenAid blender if you like a slightly retro kitchen. It's an absolute piece of art, and it makes good coffee. Moka coffee historically was quite bitter due to boiling pre-ground dark Italian coffee quite hard. This lead people to call it "espresso". Moka is not brewed under much pressure, so it's not true espresso. What you get is a very concentrated small serving of coffee which draws strong flavors from the bean. If I brew the same coffee back to back in the Moka versus an Aeropress, the Aeropress is smoother and more balanced, but the Moka explodes with flavor like an espresso shot. They're very different experiences. My recipe for light roast: Grind coffee medium-coarse as for Aeropress. Put freshly boiled water in the base, use a towel to close. Heat pot over medium-low heat with lid open. Watch until pot sputters. Closw lid and run cold tap water down the side to arrest boiling. Pour into 2 mugs. For black coffee, dilute with water to taste. For milk drinks, do the same, and top with milk. Frother optional but recommended. I love the Moka Pot. They're very beautiful so you want to display it on your shelf. They're a little finicky if you want to get the best coffee from them, especially from lighter roasts. The Moka was designed for pre-ground dark roasts, which brew much more easily but produce an offensively bitter coffee to my tastes. If you instead use a good fresh ground specialty coffee and manage your heat, you can get an "espresso-like" cup for a fraction of the cost. Great for small shots or milk drinks. Highly recommended.

I took a trip to Italy recently and discovered these, every family in Italy has one of these in their house my friend's Italian daughter-in-love says. Since I have gotten mine, I don't like any other coffee besides this. But it doesn't make 6 cups of coffee, it makes one small cup of coffee but it's the best coffee you have ever tasted. Some friends on the trip said never wash it with anything but hot water, or you will be drinking soapy coffee for a very long time. It Great!

On a recent trip to Miami, I purchased a 3 cup Bialetti Moka pot and absolutely love it. Wanted a larger version so I purchased the 6 cup version. Warning, it is NOT 6 cups of regular coffee, it is 6 cups of espresso sized, ie demitasse style cups. It works like a charm and brews outstanding coffee, throw in some sweetened condensed milk and some cream on top of that and BOOM! Cleans easy by just rinsing with warm water. I don't clean mine profusely because I like a more seasoned pot, but that is a personal preference.

Besides being beautiful, it works great. Exactly like it was described. Make sure to read instructions before making coffee and also the washing instructions. I was doing it wrong with my previous Bialetti.

I bought the 3 cup lime green moka pot. My husband and I use it every day! It works as expected and has got us hooked back on coffee. May have to get another one with larger capacity

On arrival the inside of the pot was corroded. Returned it and will not trust Bialetti going forward. I have an older, smaller pot that has stood the test of time but as all things go, newer models are diminished in quality.

This moka pot is the same brand you’ll find in any Italian supermarket. Trusted quality and great tasting coffee are assured. The 3 cup size makes a nice amount for one super strong serving or about 4 espresso cups or lattes. My advice for the perfect brew: -Use moka grind, not espresso. I suggest illy brand medium roast for a typical Italian flavor. -Drop spoonfuls of grounds into the filter until slightly heaping, then tamp very gently to level with the rim. -Use reverse osmosis, filtered or distilled water poured to just touching the bottom of the emergency valve. -Make sure the filter and threads are free of grounds before tightening. -Use moderate heat (Don’t let flames come up the sides of the reservoir, it will overheat the grounds and make them bitter.) Percolation should start in about 4-5 minutes. If steam comes out between the two halves, tighten the threads more. -Turn heat off when coffee stops flowing smoothly and bubbling steam comes out more than liquid. -If you are pouring multiple cups, stir the coffee in the pot first. -If you use hard tap water, the inside of the reservoir will have surface corrosion. This is normal, but looks gross, so dry it If you want to avoid that.

Arrived quickly in perfect condition - absolutely beautiful retro apple green color. Very pleasing. Was worried it would look pea green, but it's better. Don't hesitate to order. Color is perfect, it's very cheerful.

El empaque es terrible, poca o nula protección así que llegó algo golpeada. La cafetera es original, funciona excelente (mientras se siga el proceso correcto), y es muy bonito color.

Excelente. outro nível de qualidade

This was my first proper go at owning and using my own perculator. I love the colour, and the build quality seems fine. I have seen some comments in his sturdy the hinge for the to lid is (some say not very). I feel it's pretty good, though it will certainly fail if you tried. Basically it's not flimsy, but it's not a tank either... I clean after every use simply by rinsing with hot water. I read somewhere that using washing up liquid can affect the aluminium and/or the oils left from the coffee itself. Not sure how much I believe, but so far so good (i.e. problem free). Colour is vivid and the build quality feels very good. I expect to have this for a while! Beware it is capable of spurting coffee across the stove top if you don't pay attention with the lid open! Would certainly buy a bigger one if I was making coffee for more people.

Es muy fácil de usar y el sabor del café es delicioso

Ürün çok güzel ama tek kusur fabrika çıkışı biraz çapak kalmış bu da satıcı firmanın değil BİALETTİ nin hatası ama yinede kaliteli teşekkürler
