Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bialetti 6799 Moka Express 3-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker
Customer Review: Don't leave home without it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe I waited as long as I did to purchase a Bialetti. Cheap imitations are cheap imitations. I'd like to thank all the folks who've left positive reviews, as they were the reason I decided to try a Bialetti 3-cup and I was so thrilled with the coffee it produced, soon-after ordered the 6-cup and couldn't be happier.
Regarding the comment suggesting the handle is weakly constructed, I disagree; when tightening or loosening the wisely designed metal top, resist grabbing the handle and all will be well. Rinse with water after every use and go to bed peacefully every evening knowing Bialetti will manufacture 'the Moka Express Stovetop Percolator' until the end of time...I hope.
Customer Review: FOR ESPRESSO LOVERS
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of cheap espresso makers of this type out there. These are the real deal and work really well.
I loke my espresso really strong, so I really pack the coffe in (the best coffee brand out there is Bustello in the black bag). For really good coffee, set your stove on low temp to heat. It will take up to 5 minutes to brew this way. When the first few drops come out, pour them into a container to which you have already added sugar. I use 3 rounded teaspoons. Stir it up really well to create a paste. When the rest of the pot finishes brewing, pour it in, stir gently. Doing it this way, should gave you a nice foam. It may take a little practice to get the hang of it.
Customer Review: Pretty cool little espresso pot
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read all the reviews out there, I chose this one from the start, so don't really have anything to compare with besides what I would get at "stirbucks" or "MacDonalds" but, this coffee pot is pretty easy to use. The instructions were a little iffy, but the pictures lead you well. I went w/some of the reviews on here and got espresso roast coffee, warmed up my milk and syrup and put this baby to the test. It actually tastes really well, I am still working on the syrup ratios, but that has nothing to do with the pot. I think the vanilla latte tastes just as good as from the expensive shops...very pleased. Now if I could only find the pumpkin spice mixture at my grocery store :)Customer Review: Nice cup o' joe on the road
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Cafe Latte person, but when traveling, it isn't always possible nor practical to find an espresso place. I spent a week in a rental with a kitchen and bought this for my coffee needs. I am very happy with it.
Other stove top espresso makers I've had have been noisy, especially near the end of the cycle when they cough and spit. The Bialetti was quiet, plus it made very smooth, creamy espresso. It is easy to clean and well-made, so I plan to have it for many years.
I highly recommend this. I bought the 3-cup size which was fine for one person. I wouldn't buy anything smaller. Go larger if you want to serve more than one at the same time.
Customer Review: Simplicity can be beautiful!
Summary: 5 Stars
This makes great expresso quickly and without a lot of complicated ritual. Not much to go wrong with it, either, which is another difference between a stovetop expresso pot and the complicated electric versions. Its fantastic, not much else to be said except about size. The 3 cup size is small, go with a larger one if there are two or more coffee lovers in the household. Also, for the camping coffee connoisseur, this is a SMALL pot, it requires a little jiggling on a camp stove to arrange it so that the handle isn't over the flame and still is balanced and basically level and that is important! These also work beautifully on an electric stove.
