Over time, they may need to be replaced. Never use the pot without water. Never use other contents besides coffee like teas, cacao powder or instant coffee as it will clog the filter plate. If the heat is too high, coffee may have a burnt taste.
Getting the optimum temperature for brewing may take some trial and error. Store coffee grounds in airtight container, away from sunlight. Use filtered water for best coffee flavor.

Exactly the same model could be found in the UK. If you will search for stainless steel moka pot on your local Amazon , then likely you will find more clones. They all look the same and, based on reviews anaysis, they all have similiar drawbacks, which I found in my specimen as well. I will not describe the unboxing process though Bialetti packaging was better and focus on the materials, construction, coffee taste and temperature:.
Both coffee makers are made of stainless steel. However the thickness of the metal is different, Chinese one definetly has more slim edges hereinafter on photos the Bialetti is on left while the Chinese one is on right :. The fact that Bialetti uses a lot more metal while producing their stove top espresso makers is also proven by the weight. Both measurements are made without boxes:. Different weight changes the brewing procces, by the way. I will describe it below. While the Bialetti has a equaly shiny polished steel both outside and inside, the bottom chamber of the second coffee maker has a layer of some strange material:.
However, mainly due the specific smell this fact itself could be listed in cons I think that they put a layer of some non-stick coating inside. Anyway, the reason why Chinese-made moka pot has this covering is not so important. What important is that there is some strange smelly thing inside, not just the shiny polished steel. The same coating, but in less amount, could be noticed in the upper chamber as well.
See photo below:. Generally the construction and design of both stove top makers are eqaul. Chinese one even has the identical funnel and gasket:. However, what is really terrible and annoying even more than strange smelly internal surface is the built quality and the plastic handle combined with the lid opener.
Let me show it in details:. My Chinese moka pot as well as Primula, ATWFS, Kurtzy and most of other clones, which apparently are made using the same technical process has unfinished welding seam on the upper part that is visible from inside. The same defect was reported by other users, for example, you can notice this defect even on relatively well-rated model by VonShef check on amazon :.
The flimsy plastic part, which is used as a handle and the opener for the upper lid on Chinese models, have folowwing drawbacks:. My last observation is about emergency valve that is located one the side of the bottom chamber and that is used to lower the pressure if the funnel would be clogged.
They are different:. Bialetti uses a special anti-scale valve on the left. The Bialetti inspection valve is a patented valve, which has been designed to guarantee the use of the coffee maker in complete safety. Using the coffee maker with drinking water entails the risk of formation of lime scale in the hole of the safety valve, causing the clogging of the valve itself and the malfunctioning of the product.
With the Bialetti inspection valve, it is very simple to avoid clogging arising from lime scale: just move the small piston coming out of the valve along its axis when washing the coffee maker. As I mentioned above the fact that Chinese has thinner metal body affects the brewing proccess.
That means that temperature of extraction is higher on Chinese one. Here are photos of coffee temperature measurement in Bialetti Venus and in ATWFS moka pot just after brewing on gas cooker photos kindly provided by my reader kroleg-m :.
I NEED your opinion. Please rate my review: 18 votes, average: 4. We have both Bialetti and Chinese. The Bialetti is much better built.
The bottom of the Chinese one has blown into a dome which means it rocks on any flat surface , such as our flat cooker plates. So now useless. Reply Thanks for the review. So, is there any difference in taste if everything else water starting temperature, coffee amount, heating being equal? Reply Another question is on the gasket: has the Venus the same rubber one as other aluminum Bialetti models which need replacement time to time or a silicone one as in Chinese stainless mokas?
Reply What about other Italian moka pot producer like Pedrini? Can you compare Bialetti and Pedrini? I want to know since Pedrini is cheaper than Bialetti.
Reply Hi, Ranu. Nevertheless, Pedrini pots are still good, no smells or bad materials used like in some cheap Chinese coffee makers.
