Pros & Cons
Pros
A fantastic espresso maker. Looks great, its a solid piece of engineering. Lid fits properly. The thread is quite free-running by comparison with the aluminium ones.
Enough coffee for everyone, fast, great flavour, easy to clean and chic design. Now they just need to make one the size of a small bucket for when you have friends round. Makes 2 large mugs of great coffee.
I heat the coffee pot on a low heat and let it brew, immediately taking the pot off the heat when you hear the boiling - spluttering sound. Always always wipe any ground coffee from the top rim of the bottom water vessel and the rubber seal before you... Read More
Cons
The silicone ring on the bialetti wasn't thick enough to form a proper seal. The water reservoir keeps rusting on the inside. Some of these just don’t seal correctly, regardless of the care used in * the chambers together.
Highlights
Quality
Great product, well made and long lasting.
I see many bad reviews as to quality, product build and cleaning problems for this product, i have never experienced any.
I bought this in the hope it would work with the siemens induction hob eu631febie.
Price
Fantastic product at a really good price.
Packaging/appearance
I drink two coffees per day, but i batch-brew - making a brew and then keeping it in a bottle in the fridge.
Competitiveness
This one is brewing like a champ.
I read many mixed reviews for this coffee maker but bought it anyway at a great price.
So if you are a coffee aficionado buy a bialetti stainless steel.
I've tried a few makes of this model but there is nothing like a bialetti original.

The pot is shiny and the original seal is only slightly coffee coloured stained

As you can see in the photo the base still is hardly discoloured and im sure this is down to using a small flame

Its great if there are other people in your house that could drink it otherwise it goes to waste

I didnt have any issues with water steaming over the top of the coffee maker as some reviewers have mentioned just need to avoid overfilling the lower compartment of the device

Some time ago i had a different one from bialetti but forgot it on the stovetop and it got burned

I would not purchase an aluminum one stick to the stainless steel construction

While ive seen a number of very low star reviews i seriously believe the issues are due to incorrect use rather than any flaw in the design or item itself

For starters you should never chuck this onto a hob at full flame highest heat
