Pros & Cons
Pros
The bialetti moka express makes a fantastic and smooth espresso. It takes 12-15 minutes to make a cup of coffee, from grinding the beans to filling up the chamber.
Appearance-wise, the bialetti is very pleasing. The paint looks nice and shiny.
Cons
The filter plate wasn't properly manufactured. The plastic gasket is also loose and falling off. Look at the inside of this thing and people boiling water in that then.

Takes about as much time as brewing drip coffee if you use hot water maybe a little longer if you dont preheat your water

Basically the water heated up too fast which created too much pressure and boiling coffee spewed out the open lid towards me
