 Great use and taste, nervous about aluminium! August 9, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I love MOST things about this, from great tasting coffee, which I prefer to a cafetiere, the lovely bubbly noise of my morning ritual, the great design - but, BUT I do wonder about the aluminium! I banned all alu saucepans from the kitchen, replacing with stainless steel, because of some evidence showing there may be links with micro doses of aluminium (as you get from alu saucepans) and senile dementia/Alzheimer's. This is the one alu item in my kitchen, and I'm nervously attached to it because it brings back so many memories of my student days, when my best friend on the course, half Italian, introduced me to the delights of morning espresso from a Bialetti - I take a little trip down memory lane each morning with this design classic (losing a few more brain cells with each brew?)
At some point I may have to try the newer fangled stainless steel replacement, and hope I am compos mentis enough still to enjoy it

An excellent moka pot April 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm new to making coffee with moka pots, but the Moka Express has proven to be both simple and effective for the job.
The 3 cup version only fills my mug to about the halfway mark, but given the strength of the moka coffee I don't think I'd be able to take much more - so I either add water to make a pseudo-Americano, or hot milk if I'm in the mood for a Latte.
The Moka Express seems very sturdy and has not left an aluminium taste in even my first few cups of coffee. I look forward to putting this coffee pot to good use. The 3-cup size is good if you're only making coffee for yourself, or if you only want about 1 espresso shot for your drink.
 It's made of aluminium, not of stainless steel! April 7, 2008
3 out of 9 found this review helpful
I bought one while visiting Italy and enjoyed the coffee very much intially. However, couple of months later it was useless. Be aware that you need to clean and dry the product as soon as you are finished -not always possible. I didn't and its bottom got rusty which was not removable. The product is NOT stainless steel as you would expect any practical utensils to be. If you happen to leave some coffee inside for a couple of days or weeks, forget about it -unless of course you dont mind the blackish rust which is presumably not good for health. I'm now searching one made of stainless steel.
Fresh coffee on a saturday morning - what weekends were made for April 4, 2008

This is quite possibly the most loved object I own. Everything about it oozes Italian class. From its aluminium exterior to its dinky little plastic handle. My mornings now fall in a standard routine of wake up, wash out the pot from the day before (laziness on my part) being careful to wash with hot water only as recommended by the manufacturer (this product actually improves the more you use it - when the metal is giving off coffee vibes from coffee adventures in bygone days), to loading up the filter with espresso coffee powder, setting it on the hob and waiting for the gurgling sounds of contented happiness. Then you know it's ready. Mmmm.
Erm yeah I quite like this product. Does what it says on the box. Makes good coffee.
