The Bialetti Venus is a cult product with great reviews over the years, I just had to try.I upgraded my old moka pot to Bialetti Venus 4 cup for myself (1 strong AU standard sizing or 2 medium if you'd like to share) and it makes excellent coffee that I can make at home or take to the great outdoors. I also bought a 10 cup so I could make for guests. I did also bought a Bialetti milk frother to take it to the next level and very much worth the investment. Quality construction and easy to clean!

This is a Bialetti coffee maker (technically they are percolators and not true espresso makers - nobody cares). It's pluses are 1. it is stainless steel, not aluminum, so it works with induction stove tops. 2. Even though it is a 4 (espresso) cup machine it can use the gaskets and screens from the 3 cup makers (it is a little taller and thinner). 3. It makes enough coffee to last until I finish breakfast. It's only minus is it is a little difficult to really clean by hand - if it fit in your dishwasher it should be no problem and it is a little bit harder to find the screens for these than the 3 cup ones - though you can use the ones from the 3 cup ones.

I've used the 6 cup version for years and it's a great way to make coffee. Use boiling water in the bottom, grind a bit coarser than normal espresso, use a low heat and turn the heat off as soon as the liquid starts to appear, the residual heat will push the water through without getting a burnt flavour. If it starts to splutter and spit, run the base under cold water. No, you won't get crema (as a previous reviewer states) but that's because it's not espresso. You don't get the carbon dioxide reaction that creates crema unless you're brewing with espresso-type pressures (9 bars). You're not supposed to get crema with a stove-top coffee maker.For me, this is one of the best ways to make coffee at home.

The Bialetti Venus makes great coffee that's still strong, and much more delicious than filter or pour-overs.

I prefer making my coffee using a stovetop or 'Moka' pot. Whilst not strictly espresso, which needs more pressure and creates the frothy crema, it makes a hotter, better tasting and richer coffee than using a French press (plunger). I once read that the stovetop method is also healthiest. I have used one for nearly 30 years and would never bother with anything else now. The only change I made was to get a stainless steel one.I am going to try RamblingDave's suggestion of using boiling water and turning the gas off sooner, to see if I can improve my coffee even more!Another reviewer complained of a failed seal. Apparently the seals don't fare well in the dishwasher, which might be why theirs didn't last long, but these are easily replaceable anyway and one would ... MoreI prefer making my coffee using a stovetop or 'Moka' pot.

Real advance on the classic aluminium Bialetti pots . . . works perfectly on (lowest setting of) induction hob, when reservoir first filled with boiling water from the kettle. "6-cups" is about half of a decent mug . . . . a big caffeine-hit. Effortless to clean - just run cold water over & through the bits - but remember to obtain a Bialetti 'service kit' of 3x sealing-washers (and a spare coffee-funnel thingie) - the seals need to be changed every year or so if you use it daily. The big hassle with these moka-pots remains having to remember NOT to hold the handle when unscrewing the thing - if you break it off that'll be a whole new moka-pot.
Makes lovely coffee- very quickly- on my induction cooktop. Easy to clean. Instructions call it the coffee ritual- true- you need to practise mindfulness when making stovetop coffee - if you go and do something while it is on the stove- trying to multitask or just popping out to check on the garden hose for example- it’s easy to get sidetracked and you may miss the gurgling to tell you the coffee’s ready, and distracted by everything else around you it is easy to forget that you were waiting on the coffee. Of course, unlike appliances with an auto cut off this one will keep on going.. so it does become a ritual and forces you to be aware of the moment- it doesn’t take Long though- I can make toast, or get school lunches ready- while it is preparing- and the coffee ... MoreMakes lovely coffee- very quickly- on my induction cooktop.

I needed to replace my old electric (ceramic) cooktop coffeemaker as it had developed a pinhole leak at the base. I found this site and after a few on-line questions re suitable size (just me) I landed on the Bialetti Venus Moka Pot (2 cup - non -induction). I enquired about the non - induction label and that was explained so i went ahead and made the purchase quite a few months ago.My issue is this coffee maker takes forever to brew... and i mean forever (you could mow a lawn!). On closer examination i have found there is a distinct protruding pronounced ring around the perimeter of the base which prevents the whole base sitting on the ceramic cooktop...... this is why it takes forever. I did explain it was for a ceramic cook-top but IT IS NOT suitable. It will ... MoreI needed to replace my old electric (ceramic) cooktop coffeemaker as it had developed a pinhole leak at the base.

I did explain it was for a ceramic cook-top but IT IS NOT suitable. It will work with gas.Not all happy.It is well made and looks great but its whole purpose of making a good cup of coffee is lost because of this design flaw for electric cooktops.Wasted significant $$money.
Could not fault this product.I have always used the Bialetti aluminium Moka pot, but have unfortunately damaged a few unknowingly. Left one in a dishwasher to find it oxidised, and another oxidised as well despite the best intentions to wash it with boiled soda water.Frustration led me to try the Venus Coffee pot instead. Equally strong coffee and much easier to use/clean compared to the Moka pot. Safe to say, I am staying with this one!
A fabulous product.you can’t beat Bialetti for quality and reliability. I bought my daughter a 10 cup one for Christmas (secret Santa)they were thrilled and just love the coffee as they drink double shot coffee, the flavour and ease of these machines is amazing. As it’s a tad too big for the two of them (perfect for when there is an extra in the house, me!💖). I decided to buy the above one as an early birthday present. Perfect and they are doubly thrilled.
my way to make cappuccino is to make strong espresso. strong espresso means minimum water maximum coffee (but not too much). before this buy I had 3 cup another brand espresso maker and it made me stronger espresso. they have the same basket size. but the chambers of my newly bought stainless Bialetti are bigger: upper chamber is really big and also lower chamber is lil.bigger too) for the same basket size, this means that I will have watery espresso for my taste.That is not only problem:my hubby likes big cup of espresso for which I put 2tbl spoons of ground coffee but it is still not enough to fill whole his cap when served. So that is why I needed bigger, 3 tbl spoon basket for his big cappuccino.that is why I ordered 4 caps stainless coffeemaker but received ... Moremy way to make cappuccino is to make strong espresso. strong espresso means minimum water maximum coffee (but not too much). before this buy I had 3 cup another brand espresso maker and it made me stronger espresso. they have the same basket size. but the chambers of my newly bought stainless Bialetti are bigger: upper chamber is really big and also lower chamber is lil.bigger too) for the same basket size, this means that I will have watery espresso for my taste.That is not only problem:my hubby likes big cup of espresso for which I put 2tbl spoons of ground coffee but it is still not enough to fill whole his cap when served.
