Who has one of these in their homes and how is the coffee out of yours?

I have four now five today. Three stainless steel (10, 6, 4), two Aluminum express (1 and 3). Actually cold water start does not make my coffee bitter, burnt or acidic.
@@sO_RoNerY I start with cold or room temperature water too, per Bialetti instructions; and so does my daughter and son-in-law, who are former barista managers. You're right, it works perfectly.
I have a 2-cup and 4-cup stainless steel Bialetti Venus Moka. I love them!
But my favorite is my 2-cup Bialetti Brikka, which I use daily because it makes crema and has a slightly better flavor profile.
I sent my daughter and son-in-law a 2-cup and 4-cup Brikka, and they love them and use them daily. They're former barista store managers, so they have high standards. My daughter just told me she needs an 8-cup Brikka now because they drink a lot of coffee.
Love the stainless steel one!
The best!
I have the stainless steel Bialetti Venus Moka pots in 2 cup and 4 cup, plus a 2 cup Bialetti Brikka that makes a lot of crema.
3,6, 6 Dolce & Gabban& 12. Yea. Love me some Moka pot
20 + grams packs quite a punch and the bloom looks like a really good idea minus the aero press filter
yeah, try it out! It's a new way for me too. I had my basket filled too high in the video, I believe.
BTW, are you subscribed to my channel? I hope so!! ;)
Just had my first cup. I feel like I can run a marathon.
great! Get out there and do it!
I had one of these but upgraded to an induction hob so now it’s just for using when camping. Got an Alessi Pulcina instead, not the classic design but maybe a future classic.
Have to admit I just start it up with cold water, can’t be bothered scalding my fingers every morning.
Wow, that Alessi Pulcina is beautiful. I've seen it before in shops. Good job. I'd say that starting with hot water is a good way to go if you can so you don't heat the grinds while heating the water. Try it out, see if you don't burn your fingers ;)

@@GregorBrown and I must admit I didn’t know you could remove the gasket & filter for cleaning 😬. Tried your first method this morning, def smoother cup. Thanks!
You can get a Bialetti induction hob adapter, I have one, got it on Amazon. Works perfectly with my Moka Express on an induction hob
ohhhhhhhh. I'm glad it helped. Yeah, it took me years to know that filter came out!
Great. Have three different types of pots... They're great for camping..
I drink coffee with thick cream keto style
Yeah, you need a weapon for every type of battle!
Bialetti told me, "The official correct grind for the Moka pot is medium-fine." Most espressos are too fine for the Moka, but the espressos sold in Italian grocery stores are ground for the Moka: illy, Lavazza, Kimbo, Bialetti Perfetto Moka, etc. For the best flavor, disregard the Specialty Coffee influencers' hacks and stick to the traditional Italian way since 1933, which aligns with Bialetti instructions. Bialetti grosses $180 Million per year, they can afford the very best science and taste testing, they know how to make the Moka produce the best flavor very simply. See "Annalisa J Moka pot" video.
I agree, do a search for Nonna making Moka, tons of better advice from Italian grandmas ! I wish mine was still alive to ask her!
@@samfraulino6623 The tutorial, "Il Barista Italiano Detailed Moka" is excellent! Also "illy Moka coffee@home." And although Bri does a couple of common Italian variations to the amount of water and coffee powder, Bri's tutorial is based on family tradition, "Italian with Bri Moka."
Most Italians basically follow the official Bialetti instructions, which are based on 90 years of experience and scientific testing in their own Science and Engineering Department. I get fantastic results by following Bialetti's instructions:
Fill the reservoir with cold or room temperature water to touch the bottom of the valve; fill the basket with medium-fine ground espresso powder until it's even with the rim, but don't press it down; wipe loose grounds off the rim and threads for a tight seal and screw together tightly; keep the lid closed and cook it over a low gas flame or a preheated medium electric stove; immediately remove the Moka from the stove the instant you hear it begin to gurgle, and let it finish brewing on your countertop from the residual heat inside the pot; stir up the most-concentrated coffee from the bottom with a teaspoon and pour.
Your coffee will never be burnt or over-extracted this way.
The Brikka instructions vary a bit: use the enclosed plastic measuring cup to add the specified amount of water; immediately remove the Brikka from the stove when you see steam and the crema stream is established. It'll finish brewing on your countertop.
Bialetti says clean it after every use with hot water, never use soap! Then wipe it dry with a clean cloth. That keeps them clean. But once a month you can boil plain water through it to deep clean it. For Mokas that need more cleaning due to neglect, the Bialetti website has instructions for deep cleaning with vinegar or citric acid.
Do you use one of these at home or have you ever used one? Tell me what you think of it. Also, while down here, please hit the thumbs up like and make sure you are subscribed. Thanks!👍☕
Great review Gregor! I need one of these now! It would be perfect while out camping & at home 👍🏻
Yeah, get one! It's good to have one at home, they are simple and relatively inexpensive.
Don’t forget to air dry it and not screw it back up damp! It will only cause mould inside your pot!
yes, good advice. very good tip.

@@GregorBrown I already do!
@@CorneliusJames ahh. Great and thank you
Is was taught that using aluminum is a danger to our health. These originally made pots were before the knowledge of the danger was known, yet they are still being produced. I opted for one of Bialetti’s food safe stainless steel models. Works exactly the same as the original.
I have the stainless steel model too, love it!
A few tips I never tried before, cheers. What do you suggest for the limescale build-up in the heating vessel? Oh, and what's the model of your fabulous ECM espresso machine?
Clean it with white vinegar
I don't remember the model name of the Ecm
I definitely think heating your water first is a good technique
@@GregorBrown yes, never seen anyone do that before. Now we have a kettle I can do that!
It's a myth that starting with cold or room temperature filtered water, per Bialetti instructions, results in bitter coffee! Italians prevent bitterness by using a low gas flame or preheated medium stove and removing the pot from the stove early, the instant it starts to gurgle, then letting it finish brewing off the stove from the heat inside the pot. Then stir up the most-concentrated coffee from the bottom and pour. For more info about the traditional Italian technique, search for "Annalisa J Moka pot" video.
I poured hot water and the coffee came out sour, I tried to pour room temperature water and the acidity decreased a lot.
@@andrijstorozenko5631 Thanks for sharing your results! 😊 ☕
I have same as yours. Mine is electric.
A classic Italian design 👍
Nice
Thanks

I've been using cold water for almost a year and I NEVER had bitter coffee. I always use low heat. Americans need to understand how to make Italian coffee 🤦♂️.
Try the hot water technique, see how you like it. I always used cold water too, but using hot water first was better for me.
If it’s a 1 cup cold water might be ok; hot water in a 1 cup might make for too fast an extraction. If using hot water, in a 1 cup, turn fire to lowest possible. Or use a Bialetti heating plate😉
I always put the moka pot on the burner just the water chamber for like 1 min, to warm it up, not boil, but easily touchable, then I take it off, add the funnel/coffee, screw on the top and put it back on, perfection everytime !
