 Easy espresso. Take that, Starbucks! March 17, 2010
Hey Porter (Phoenix, AZ)
I was looking for a way to save some money and make my own espresso drinks. After some research, I discovered the Bialetti Moka Express. I always thought they were more expensive and difficult to use, but I thought I'd try it. To my surprise, I got perfect espresso on my first try. It is so easy to use. Just unscrew it, fill the bottom with water to the little grooves at the bottom. Fill the little cup with grounds, and screw it together. Put it on the stove on medium and Poof! Espresso!
It's pretty easy to clean too. Just unscrew everything and run it under hot water (no soap) and let it dry. I have made espresso, and then varied it with americanos, lattes, and even caramel macchiatos with my own syrups.
All in all, it's much less complicated and less space hogging than my regular espresso maker. That one will continue to sit in the cabinet after this purchase.

It performs as promised. Using it as directed seems to yield slightly weak espresso. I have experimented a bit and now use less water which helps a lot. The price/performance ratio is is outstanding.
 It's not working properly for me March 5, 2010

After reading all the great reviews on this product, I decided to purchase one. Well, it's only made coffee successfully a handful of times. Most of the time, it makes a very small amount of coffee (maybe 1/2 a cup) and stops - even though I've filled the water up to the notch like it says in the instruction pamphlet. Could it be a defective pot or is there something I'm not doing right?
LOVED it, ruined it and am buying another...sigh... February 16, 2010

I owned the 6-cup Moka for quite some time and absolutely loved it. I only hand rinsed it with water and stored it dry and disassembled. Even with all of this attention and care I managed to ruin it, but I'm back buying another and will be more careful this time.
While using the Moka on my stovetop I either answered the phone, tended to one of the kids' needs (or both?) and allowed it to boil over. Not just a little. A LOT. I'm talking huge mess, burned gasket and a horrible smell. Even after replacing the gasket the pot smelled like burned rubber. The resulting coffee tasted about as bad as the smell. I tried rinsing all of the metal parts with white vinegar. It didn't help at all. I tried letting it soak in vinegar water but the smell remained. I finally gave up and am buying another.
This time I'm getting a 3-cup Moka simply because I never needed the 6-cup capacity. I can't wait for it to arrive. I hope any future emergencies will wait until after Mom has had her coffee.
The perfect gift! February 14, 2010

I gave the Moka Express coffee maker to my daughter for Christmas. She loves it. It is easy to use and performs just like it said it would. The coffee turns out perfect everytime.
