Too hot, burns your coffee, unless you live on top of a mountain on 3000m.
Since I bought mine, my coffee has never been the same.
Best coffee in the roman empire.
It’s aluminium and I have an induction hob. Also aluminium is bad for your health.
(I own a stainless steel one)
I have a Bialetti Venus for induction, is it ok?
fuck sort of kettle is that?
Aye its good, randomly flips between making coffee from the gods to satans ass crack.
the problem is it makes shit burnt coffee and is a pain to use and clean.
was probably good in the 40s compared to what else was available. bialettis are one of the first consumer cast aluminium kitchen products and should be treated as such, it was innovative and an engineering milestone but no longer relevant.
i used one for a bit but now i have a cheap espresso machine which is easier to use and makes way better coffee.
The only period of my life where I had the time to actually use that thing every morning was during unemployment

No idea but the lowlanders have weak will and minds
With that prehistoric device? Don’t they sell Moccamaster in Italy?

Just go to a bar and drink coffee made by a professional.
The moka obsession is so napoletana it hurts.
It looks good if you never left the 70s.
Although, there is some kind of cybertruck vibe…
The downside of having an induction hob.
I think the happiest I have ever seen my dad was when he bought this
Believe me, you don’t know the Dutch coffee from hell, for some reason people DARE to serve it.
Senseo.
We always used one like that in my house, I thought they were common
is this rare in other places in Europe? maybe it’s because Mediterranean brotherhood, but in Spain everybody has one of two of these in their houses, for different number of people. we call it “cafetera italiana”. only lately (meaning last 20 years) you’ve started to see people with “cafetera americana” in their houses, mostly for convenience, but it’s usually seen as flavourless and weak coffee.
in Spain, everybody knows that espresso (from a café) > café de cafetera italiana > café americano.
only in the last 5 years I’ve started to see home espresso makers, and that came after the convenience of the Nespresso, which lays between espresso and cafĂ© italiano
I moved into a student house where we make our bialetti coffee every morning. It is a perfect ritual.
espresso machine goes BRRRRR
as a swamp german i agree
Instructions unclear – machine does not press down
It’s too small.

You need the big dog.
I exclusively use moka express to make coffee. The best one there is

Got one of this, bit bulky but I’d never switch back
Greatest Italian engineering (unironically)
My wife’s grandmother is from Naples and gave her one as a gift not knowing she doesn’t drink coffee.
My morning coffees were amazing for about two weeks until she decided it was taking up too much space in the cupboard and gave it away.
Dunno I don’t drink coffee
Thanks for the suggestion brother in life. I’ve been using one of those since the last 15 years. I had two.
Total cost of both: 30€.
And eventually I have to deal with people saying I drink this coffee because I cannot afford a Nespresso.
Hear me out. These ones are better and cheaper .

Nuh, uh!
Sorry Luigi, I prefer frensh presses for coffee.
I don’t like coffee so avoid it all together. I prefer either water or that hot water with leaves
Honestly, i don’t know how to make proper coffee because the amounts of time i drink coffee in a year can be counted on one hand.
And even if i drink “coffee” its one of those cold Coffees with cream, and caramel in it you can sometimes get at a Cafe in town.
pour-over coffee is tastier. fight me.
