Bialetti - Moka Induction, Moka Pot, Suitable for all Types of Hobs, 2 Cups Espresso (2.8 Oz), 90 milliliters,Black

The media could not be loaded. Very solidly-built moka pot; performs well and makes an insanely good cup of coffee (Americano for me, espresso for spouse). One reviewer faulted it for not being induction-ready. However, after testing my Bosch induction cooktop, I learned that the round central burner has a round element that exceeds the diameter of the pot: the cooktop doesn't "see" the pot. On the other 4 burners, with straight-line elements, the pot works fine with no induction plate needed. Another viewer criticized the fact that the coffee basket is hard to remove. It is, because it has to rest very securely in the liquid chamber for proper brewing. This issue is easily solved by using a magnet to lift the basket from the base; I use a bar magnet that spans the width of the basket, and no coffee spills in the process. This also helps when you clean the pot. Am so happy with this purchase that I just purchased the 4-cup version. We love, love, love this moka pot!

Love this coffee maker. Got for a new induction stove. It's nice and heavy, screws together easily, looks great. Brews some excellent coffee. Makes about 3 Americanos at a time. Price well worth it.

I used to be more of an espresso guy until I got this moka pot. now I enjoy them both, switching from time to time my espresso machine with this moka pot.I must say I totally love it: great quality, looks awesome and works like a charm with my induction hob. it takes less than 4 minutes on medium power, as suggested. I admit that it's a little smaller than I anticipated but in the end it worked great for me anyway since there's no waste of coffee. as I'm used to espresso (a double shot is around 36g of liquid) I'm more than happy with the amount I get from this pot, which is arount 90-100g of liquid, which in turn, is about 2-3 times the size of a double shot of the stronger espresso. (see picture for reference)if you prefer larger servings, or are worried about not getting enough amount of coffee from this one, I'd recommend the 4 or 6-cup versions of this moka pot, depending on your needs. but if you make coffee just for yourself like me, and don't prefer large cups, this pot might be for you too.in the future I'm thinking of getting the large 6-cup version for when my friends come and visit :)

Bialetti is great as always

It’d be nice if everything was stainless steel so it was dishwasher safe. The coffee quality is fine but I prefer espresso.My 1 complaint (hence the -1 star) is that if you forget to fill it with water before you load the basket with coffee, is it’s very difficult to remove without spilling the grounds.

The media could not be loaded. I've owned Bialetti moka pots in the past, but surrendered my last one to Good Will after purchasing my GE induction cooktop. How I missed it...Yesterday afternoon I received my Bialetti 2 cup moka pot, suitable for my induction cooktop. I seasoned the pot according to instructions, brewing coffee then tossing it out three times. Once it was seasoned I made coffee from decaf I roasted at home, and enjoyed the flavorful, rich coffee I've missed for years.Mornings are busy for me, so while seasoning my new moka pot I kept my eye on it while experimenting with time and heat to learn how to safely set it for minimal supervision. Heat must be adequate to create a gentle stream of rich coffee to fill the upper chamber of the moka pot, no more. If overheated, steam races through the grounds, quickly emptying the lower chamber in direct contact with the hob and forcing bitterness into the brew. Overheating the empty lower chamber in contact with an active hob is hazardous.What follows is a description, not advice. The process I use is not in accordance with manufacturer's directions and could be hazardous. Caution advised.Based on trial and error, for my older GE induction cooktop:I fill the bottom moka pot tank with hot water from the insta hotand fill basket with medium fine grind coffee (texture of a medium fine grind feels like salt grains between my fingers)I assemble the moka pot according to manufacturer directions, andCenter the pot on the smallest induction hobSet heat to 3Set the timer on my watch to 8 minutes (by experimenting with the smallest hob on my GE induction cooktop I found 8 min to be the waiting period before the upper chamber begins to fill at a heat setting of 3)Go about my business for 8 min, checking the pot occasionally.At 8 min, I lift the lid and watch coffee flow into the upper chamber of the pot, quietly filling for an additional 30 seconds.I remove the moka pot from the hob before it sputters, long before danger of overheating.Smooth, rich, flavorful, gently brewed coffee is mine in ~8.5 minutes

I was eager to try this out since it looked like a dead simple, easy to set up, and easy to clean up way to make coffee, but before I ever used it I found that the combination of the sloppy cast threads in the aluminum upper with the rounded threads in the steel lower made it a huge pain to assemble without crossthreading. I ended up returning it and getting the Venus pot, also from Bialetti, which has fully stainless construction and actually turned out to be a couple dollars cheaper at the time.The Venus, which is exactly the same except for the shape and material of the top section, turned out to be as simple and easy and tasty as I'd hoped, so I've got no problem giving this pot top marks for everything except the poor threads, but at the same time I think it would be silly to buy this specific moka pot when, for a couple bucks more or less, the Venus has clearly superior construction.As a side note, I was unsure when I originally bought this whether it was the same thing as the Bialetti Brikka. It's not; it's got a similar stainless bottom section but the top section is the same as the classic Moka, without the Brikka's little duckbill valve.
