Thanks,
it’s very well explain!
After the video I typed your address and found that you have a great website
Thanks
what is the difference between a bialetti percolator and espresso maker? they look the same — yet Amazon advertises both.
?
Hi xraymond, A percolator is a brewing system and a stove top espresso maker is another brewing system and they are not the same.
The percolator brewing system recycles the coffee over and over again to keep brewing that’s why the taste tends to be bitterer than any other coffee maker.
Stove top extracts coffee under the pressure of water vapor and produces the coffee with the less bitterness and most aromas compare to a percolator.
I hope this help you;)

I have been mostly using a French Press Coffee maker for many years, but I’ve been thinking about buying a Bialetti Moka Express. Thanks for making this awesome helpful video!

Thanks for this good and informative video
This is a great instructional short piece presented by two absolutely charming people! Wow, thanks so much for this. My Italian housemate left his Bialetti behind, and now I will try using it instead of (or in addition to) my French Press.
I was warned that the coffee will be bad for a little while if you don’t use it regularly. Part of the reason why you clean it with only water, not with soap, is because oils deposit onto the aluminum and keep it from making the coffee taste off, so, presumably, if your oil deposits are too old it will make your coffee taste old. If your first few pots come out tasting funny, don’t give up.
Also, my friend empties hers before she makes coffee, not after — but she uses it every day.
It would be a great machine but they have to reinvent the gasket or make it out of some other material.
My coffee smells and tastes like burnt rubber when using this device. I bought it new.
Why is there no crema on top of the coffee? Perhaps you should tamp the coffee in the filter, and take it off the heat once it starts boiling.
@blackavar I believe the stovetop machine does not generate enough pressure to create crema. A real espresso machine generates much more pressure to squeeze the oils out of the coffee.
@threemilechild I use a stainless steel pot, which can be cleaned with soap and water. However i usually just rinse it out with water. But coffee oils do not build up on it. Some people prefer the aluminum pots for this reason and let it ‘age’, building up with oils.
If you don’t use the machine for two or more days , coffe has a bad taste of oxidation;I discovered a trick tp present this : . when you wash the machine, leave it filled with water, bottom, middle and up part until next use, even after two or more days : taste will be perfect
Yeah because it was boling. Once I see the foam I turn off the heat after 10 seconds.
Pouvez-vous un autre video ?
these two are adorable
Do you press the coffee powder and if, how much force do you use to press the powder into the filter?
Cheeeeeesyyy… but good.
Wonderful video thanks! I was wondering what size moka was used in this video?
P.S. instead of throwing your coffee grounds down the sink, why not use them as fertilizer for your garden?
I recently bought a 6 cup machine. Is it ok to use less than 100% of its capacity, eg fill the water and/or coffee chamber only with half the max allowed? Sometimes I only like 1/2 portions. Thanks.
@bonuscheesemilk
is that a joke or can you actually do that? sounds a bit fruity but i’m all for recycling
@KingFunksAlot you can really do it! Google ‘coffee grounds garden’ for more info.
You guys are really charming nice how to! (The audio quality could use a bit optimization, though
Very cute. we used this everyday while in Levanto, Great coffee
@scuba453 to make strong coffee, you need to fill it up to the maximum capacity. otherwise, your coffee will taste weak.
@scuba453 I would say yes. For my purpose, I wanted to get a stronger coffee like real espresso from espresso machine. I felt the coffee produced in bialetti (with both water & coffee filled) is a bit bitter. So, I filled the coffee container and put water less than full. the coffee came out great! and it still worked fine.
if u experiement with this and get good results, let us know!
