Brikka Moka Pot Stovetop Espresso Maker – Crema-Rich Italian Coffee Maker, 2 Espresso Shots (3.4 oz / 100 mL), Black

Love the brewer but it over extracts oils and brings some bitterness to the coffee. Regular moka is much better.

I had a Moka Express - the rare 1 cup version but after a decade or so. the handle broke and became inconvenient. I am a backpack camper - and my most luxurious mode is dispersed camping in my truck, no fancy solar camper vans, Just a simple coleman. for a stove The trick is to use good coffee. Your roaster will tell you of these fancy small lot coffees but the Lavazza Crema Gusto and Rosa are the most convenient and sure proof ways to use on these. They are also Arabica and Robusta blends and rRbusta besides having more kick also releases more crema. The Lacazza's are also ground properly, Having said that I also use whole coffee that I grind but so far nothing beats the Lavazza for this machine specially if you drink undiluted unsweetened espresso. Also if you ask Italians in Italy that's what they would recommend. Of course you need to use it ASAP and by the time you get to the end, the taste will not be as good and the crema less as the coffee contacts the air. If you do latte and sweeten your drink, maybe not a big deal. Aside from all the instruction above, the trick is to a paper filter that is use for Aeropress - Aside from filtering the ground, I think they increase the pressure over slightly. Maybe it's because I live at 6L + ft over sea level and my camping is all the way to 9K. Water boils at a lower temp here and the paper filter helps in increasing the pressure a bit. I also pre infuse it. Meaning when the the first coffee appears. I take it off the fire and let it sit for 30 seconds or more and then bring it back again. So instead of 5 minutes it adds another minute or more. If the gurgling happens and you still have it on the fire, the crema may collapse. I sometime use less water - You can also upgrade the filter with the E&B filter - pricey at 22. A little different and I think the gasket they have is a little better and will deliver a cleaner coffee as if you are using the paper filter. For me, the paper filter is 6 bucks for 300, so should last a while. If you like a textured feel in your mouth, then the filter may not be for you. If you have failed pulls or left overs. Do not waste that coffee. Instead put in ice cubes and use it for ice coffee later. Just like ny old Moka, the coffee oils will eventually season the top. I do not bother to take it off, I just rinse. Once a month or every 2 weeks let steam without coffee clean the machine/

Absolute disaster! I really don't understand why there is a whole at the top of the lit! Every time you are boiling coffee the pressure just makes it squirts through that top hole and it gets all over your stove. Stay away from this one if you don't wanna clean your stove after every coffee.

Been using for 5 weeks and I’m in love. So easy. Taste is genuinely very comparable to espresso from an espresso machine. I normally get a w/c americano with cream 3x a week or more from a coffee stand. I bought this 2-cup moka pot for $70, a giant $30 container of Ghirardelli w/c powder, half and half and espresso roast. It’s practically the exact same as the $6.50+ drink I had been buying. That ~$100-110 investment in this kettle and products has already paid for itself in 5 weeks. I love that it’s zero waste. Easy to clean (remember to remove the rubber ring and clean the filters.) $70 seems a little overpriced for such a small product but it really works and I expect to use it for a long time. I love the look, the small size for storage as I have a small kitchen. You can also make a great dirty chai with this! 2 tea bags of vanilla chai steeped in the espresso, then a heavy splash of cream. 😋 (ps, fill the water UNDER where the “button” is inside the water chamber or else this with leak all your water out and not make any espresso, I made this error on the first few tries. Photo attached is the correct amount of water to use! )

La Bialetti New Brikka de 2 tazas es exactamente lo que buscaba: diseño compacto, ideal para una o dos personas. El café es el clásico de moka, intenso y aromático, aunque la válvula especial no impresiona tanto. Es súper práctica, fácil de limpiar y una gran alternativa a mi cafetera espresso de cápsulas. En menos de 10 minutos tenés un cafecito super decente. Es una gran opción low-cost para quienes quieren café de verdad sin complicaciones.

We bought the Bialetti Moka pot in April 2025 . Everything was working great the coffee was delicious but then... The unit has stopped brewing properly, the coffee is not coming up into the upper chamber, so it is no longer making coffee. In addition, the knob on the lid came loose and the screw appears to be stripped, so it will not tighten securely. Not recommended.

UPDATE: After reviewing this, I did have a couple episodes of the pot overflowing, as some reviewers noted. The key to avoid that problem is to use hot water to begin with and a medium flame. Use a small burner so that the heat is under the pot, not going up the sides. The real hack is using hot (steaming but not boiling) water. The pros suggest this, though Bialetti says to use cold water. I tried the hot water and it works much better. Cold water makes the brewing take too long, cooks the coffee in the basket and makes the end result bitter and with less crema. You want the total brewing time to be 4 or 5 mins tops. ☕️ WATER MEASUREMENT IS KEY DO NOT fill the base up to the safety valve like you would with a regular Moka pot. That’s the old way. For the 2-cup version, use exactly 120 ml of water—this only fills the base about halfway to the valve. The pot comes with a measuring cup, which I use every time I make coffee with this pot. ☕️ COFFEE GRIND: DIAL IT IN Place the filter cup into the base and fill it to the top with medium-fine ground coffee. I grind my own beans using a Rancilio Rocky, and setting 25 works perfectly. It feels like fine sand between your fingers. (Of course, your ideal setting might vary slightly depending on your grinder’s calibration.) You can use pre-ground coffee made for Moka pots—brands like Kimbo Gold or Bialetti will work and are easy to find. ❗️ DO NOT tamp the grounds. Just fill and scrape across the surface to level it off. 🔧 ASSEMBLY & BREWING Screw on the top, and tighten it—not overly tight, just snug. Make sure everything is clean. Old grounds on the gasket can mess you up. You may need to experiment with flame size to find the sweet spot for your setup. Listen carefully: when you hear the Brikka gurgle turn off the flame and let the extraction finish on the counter. Look through the hole in the lid… crema! I even got crema using a dark San Francisco Bay French Roast, which was a bit of a surprise. 🚫 DON’T DO THIS Some Moka pot guides suggest immersing the base in cold water post-brew. Don’t do it. The Brikka relies on a very specific internal pressure curve, and that will mess with the flow and crema development. Let it do its thing. 🍮 THE PAYOFF Pour it slowly into a small espresso cup and watch as the crema floats up and spreads evenly across the top. That’s when you know you did it right. Pure Moka-Espresso Bliss. Bravo, Bialetti. Brikka is the real deal. ☕️🇮🇹

I see many negative reviews, but it works very well. Need some practice to understand how to make it work to the best

The measuring cup inside is broken.

I recently invested in the Bialetti New Brikka, and it has completely transformed my morning coffee routine. As the only stovetop coffee maker capable of producing a crema-rich espresso, it truly stands out. The sleek aluminum and black design not only looks stylish in my kitchen but also promises durability and efficient heat distribution. Every cup I brew is filled with a robust, rich flavor and that delightful layer of crema that makes each sip feel indulgent. The Brikka is incredibly user-friendly, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking to elevate their coffee experience without a complicated machine. Highly recommended for espresso lovers seeking quality and convenience!

My quest for the best coffee brewing appliance has ended with the purchase of this brikka moka pot.My My what a lovely coffe this brews the brew is almost like an espresso with all the creme but without being an espresso but somewhere in the middle but non the less absolutely worth it.at first it's a little learning curve to but once you get above and through that phase you will really learn to make excellent coffee make sure you watch some youtube videos before they really help.all and all I am satisfied with this purchase
