Pros & Cons
Pros
The coffee is so rich and flavourful. The bialetti gives good beans an opportunity to shine. The handle is ergonomic so it’s easy to pick up from the stove top.
The paint looks nice and shiny. The biggest difference i notice is with the seal. However they designed their seal, it's prefect. Works perfectly fine.
Be gentle with it, and clean it gently. A sponge works just fine. Easy to use and easy to rinse out.

Fill the chamber with the ground coffee3.
Packaging/appearance
Works well, however packaging is very bad.
Run the bottom chamber of the bialetti under cold water to stop the process and to avoid burning yourself7.
Competitiveness
Learn how to use it properly and it will produce the most flavourful brew.
This is our go-to for our cafe con leche, made every day preferably with bustelo coffee.
As for the taste of the coffee in comparison to the cheaper imusa pot, i don't know if it's just a psychological thing or what,... Read More
The bialetti mocha express extracts more from the beans.
