Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Bialetti Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Percolator
Customer Review: Amazing Little Hunk of Metal
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this thing every day to make pseudo-Americanos (pseudo because this isn't really espresso, but it's close enough) and I love it. As a coffee snob, avowed caffeine addict and law student, I don't know whether I would be able to survive without this little guy.
For the 6 cup, I do 5 tbs unground (grind your coffee right before you use it) ground as fine as I have patience for. Filtered water, blasted on high right up to the instant the coffee in the top starts to boil. The upside? The pot goes fast (less than 4 minutes and I have a junk stove) and the coffee is amazing. The downside? You really need to watch it to make sure you've cooked off all of the water in the bottom but haven't burned the coffee in the top. It's a fine line. I dump all 6 cups into a jumbo coffee mug and fill the rest of the way with cold-ish filtered water and it's ready to drink - not too hot, still amazingly tasty - immediately.
I personally like to use medium-light to medium roasts so as to make sure I get the proper caffeine hit. But what really sets the coffee this thing makes apart from drip or press gizmos is the richness of the coffee, even in an Americano. There's enough coffee oil left in the finished product (filters filter them out, and presses need too much water) that the flavor fills your mouth and the coffee actually feels pleasant to drink. This thing makes wonderful stuff.
