 not as good as before November 22, 2009
Mrs. Margaret M. Pinkham (CT, USA)
I've used these for over ten years. The earlier handles were less secure and broke more easily. The newer ones are much stronger and more secure. That's all I can say in their favor. The fabric of the metal seems different, and much flimsier. The water levels they call for with their internal markings are totally different from the old ones. We use this maker to make regular coffee, using 4 level coffee scoops to a full container of water. This change throws the resultant coffee brew way off, and makes me have to try to attempt to adjust at every use. I just like the older version much better.
 Makes great coffee. November 13, 2009

This stovetop percolator make great tasting coffee or espresso. The 3-cups are 3 espresso cups, about a shot glass full, not a coffee cup. It is easy to clean and takes up no room which is great for me, I didn't have room for a coffee maker.

Made great coffee, but rusted very quickly!! Don't make the same mistake I did and leave it in the sink with water; clean and dry it shortly after use.
 Too much hype November 10, 2009

I guess I will be brief with this....
1. Has a plastic handle. Mine broke off in less than a year.
2. It is made of aluminum. Aluminum has been shown to cause alzheimers disease.

The Bialetti Buzz November 5, 2009

I always loved dark, strong coffee and I've always been a lazy dish washer. After a trip to Italy in 2005 I started making coffee in a Napoletana coffee maker. I liked it, but it's a pain in the ass to clean, so I bought a Bialetti. WOW !
The coffee from the Napoletana was very strong and every morning I was drinking the equivalent of 5+ espressos. While I was accustomed to strong coffee, for the first time in my life I would feel a caffeine buzz. I switched to the Bialetti and found it easier to clean and faster to brew. I use what I consider high grade coffee, usually French roast from Trader Joe here in LA.
While the word is to never use detergent to clean the thing, I just have to use some occasionally. The thing is bullet proof except for the gasket. If you can buy a couple extra gaskets when you buy the Bialetti, do so. The gaskets are not widely available and last week when my gasket went, I ended up buying a new maker. Problem is that it's another brand and I don't like it as much as the real deal.
Some words of advice:
1. Be sure that you screw the top on correctly so that the thing doesn't leak. It makes an awful scream on the stove when it does.
2. If you are not used to lots of caffeine, be very careful. These things make coffee at least twice as potent as any other breweing method. I acutally overdosed on caffeine and now drink almost exclusively decaf.
