Advantages: GOOD EPRESSO
Disadvantages: NONE

Bialetti is one of the best brand of "moka" - that is the name used by Italians for this kind of coffe maker - and I purchased this model long time ago; it supplies coffee for at least 5/6 cups.. it depends on how much coffee you are addicted to .. I am Italian and I prefer espesso coffee: it is very strong, black, and, usualy it is said that you must avoid sugar so to better taste coffee aroma. I use to put some milk, just a little (we call it ...
...This machine is composed of three parts: the upper side, where coffee gather just to drop it into a cup; a lower side, where you have to put water (you can choose how many); a third internal part, a sort of filter, where you place grinded coffee. Once on the fire, you have to wait water to boil, then you'll have your hot drinking. Material is aluminium, so it is very light. Remember not to wash it with soap! it would ruin the coffee maker!

Advantages: Looks nice
Disadvantages: Stops working, very hard to program and set up, poor quality

This was my first espresso machine which my husband bought even though I couldn't justify paying close to $300 for a coffee maker. I am sad to report that my first experience with an espresso machine was not a good one. This machine was not worth $300 and in my opinion not even worth half that. We have had it about 7 months now and it is not currently working. I'm not sure what's wrong with it but I am going to try to contact the company because ...
...don't have that kind of money to burn. My first impression of the machine was that it looked like a quality product and the first few times we used it the espresso was amazing. Unfortunately the espresso function stopped working for reasons unknown after about 3 months of use. We don't use this machine every day, maybe more like twice a week so it's not like we wore it out. Getting the machine working was a whole other issue. The manual was confusing ... Read review

Advantages: easy to use, lightweight, classic design
Disadvantages: drops when lifting the lid

...the end I chose the Bialetti Moka Express 6-Cup Coffee Maker. It has the classic Italian design and is of aluminium and therefore lightweight. It consists of 3 parts: the lower part, where you put the water in, the middle part to put the espresso powder in, and the upper part where the espresso comes out, very simply described. You screw the upper part onto the lower after putting in the water and the espresso powder and cook it on electric, gas ...
...You'll get those easily from Bialetti and that's why I decided to take the classic Italian brand instead. You can purchase it in different sizes. I chose the 6-cups one, because I like to have friends around and offer something nice after dinner. And it's no problem to prepare just one cup, as I do every morning. A good purchase for those of us who like the simple things in life. (THIS REVIEW IS MY OWN PRODUCT AND CAN ALSO BE FOUND ON WWW.UK.BEST-PRICE.COM. ... Read review

Advantages: Powerful and will last
Disadvantages: Initial cost is high

...you buy in your local starbucks at home. The machine is not cheap in the region of around $370 in the USA or around £200 in the UK but, it really does work. I originally had a cheap one that I thougt looked good and seemed to do the job ok. However after using one of these you can really tell the difference. The machine is created using the same mechanisms as the big machines in the stores so it can handle high volumes and has the power to heat up ...
...does not have to be Starbucks own as you can use any brand as long as it is already ground. The good thing about starbucks coffee is that they keep it in bean form and at the time of purchase it can be ground so that it stays fresher fro longer. They can grind it to the customers liking as some prefer a laregr grind and some a finer grind. Howvere if you prefer you can buy any coffee and if you even own your own grinder then you can buy beans which ... Read review
