Moreover, it looks great and brews fast. It seems sturdy and I don't foresee replacing it for a very long time. The best coffee-making tool I have owned. I appreciate a purchase that is exactly what it claims to be, and that is what the Bialetti Venus is. I understand that some connoisseurs dislike the coffee produced by stainless steel, but comparing coffee that comes out of this with that from an aluminum Bialetti, I find the Venus produces a less brash cuppa.
For whatever reason it just didn't work. and there did not appear to be any. I have an aluminum model and I have not had any problems for years. Odd as there are minimal parts, and I checked for obvious clogs, etc. Perhaps it was the over pressure valve, etc.I went with another option instead, and wouldn't recommend this product, as I had to pay shipping 2x (initial and return) and it isn't worth rolling the dice. I merely wanted an upgrade. I was skeptical of this model based on others reviews, and I received one of the bad ones.
The price was fantastic and our Mom is very pleased with it. We like it so much we want one too. We bought this for our Mom for Christmas. She frequently uses it with her girlfriends so the 6 cup capacity is just what she was looking for. Great product, great price. It was difficult to find a stainless steel espresso maker at retail stores, they were all aluminum. The design, looks and functionality are what we were hoping to find.
Steam comes out of the sides while the water is heating no matter how tightly you close it. I was hoping this could function as our coffee-maker (we like it really strong).
It looks so large, but the looks are deceiving. so it would have to make enough for two cups of coffee.
The Bialetti espresso maker came on time, in its original Bialetti packaging and with all of the parts unbroken and without any dents or scratches.I love the look and style of this espresso maker. Maybe it will take some time on this.The other small disappointment was that I thought it would make more espresso.
While it does make just barely enough for the two of us, if we ever had guests, I would need to wait for it to cool and then make more or buy another one.Overall it makes yummy coffee and it looks super-cool, but if I had to do it over again, I would have bought the biggest one they make. I have only used it a few times now and the biggest disappointment has been that it doesn't seal properly.
Even my husband couldn't get it closed well enough.
I have had success with this manufacture in the past but beware they are hard to get a hold of and not very nice with there customer service. I was very disappointed that this one was so cheaply made that when I called the manufactures they said that becouse I had used it they wouldnt give me another one. I got this as a present. I had used other cheaper modules of the same brand so I was very excited but the threads never matched up and it didnt seal enough to produce anything remotley like coffee let alone espresso.
