A Must-Have Kitchen Tool for the Coffee Connoisseur
First off, I did extensive research on this and other moka pots before my purchase. It is frustrating to see so many off-the-cuff questions from people who clearly didn’t do their homework regarding this amazing product. Following are my thoughts.
1. The inside of the lower boiler appears to be sandblasted to aid in a more rapid boil. It is NOT coated with any other material; ie Teflon, nor is it carcinogenic. It is bare stainless metal. Holy heck, people â let it go. Comments like this are very damaging regarding the perception of this companyâs product.
2. Be very careful when washing and drying the inside lip of the lower boiler. It has a very sharp edge that easily cut my finger. Iâm going to take some 1500-grit sandpaper and carefully knock this edge off so it doesnât happen again.
3. The inner gasket and screen are very secure. The overall fit and finish (and YES it is made in China) are top notch. Iâm very impressed with the quality. The design is very appealing and the unit is compact; it will be a constant companion on my counter.
4. The valve is solid – no issues. Some people have complained about a whistling noise; i can state that if you follow the instructions you will not have a problem. The valve itself is manufactured in Italy.
5. Contrary to what many are saying about initial use, i did wash the individual parts in very hot soapy dishwater and rinsed carefully before i used it for the first time. To be blunt â not following through on this step is just plain gross. You have no idea what this unit went through during the manufacturing process, or how many people handled it and under what conditions. Wash the damn thing in soapy water before you use it. After that, it requires minimal maintenance.
6. I have a package of premium Lavazza Crema e Gusto on order. For now i used Peetâs Big Bang® whole bean coffee ground fine in my spice grinder. The taste was a bit sour but thatâs the fault of the beans, not the pot. A VERY strong full mug of espresso. Iâm glad i purchased the 6 cup for this purpose. One mug is all i need to get started with my morning.
7. This unit blows my French press away. I tired of having to wait for water to boil and then steep for four minutes before i could have a cup using the French press. The Bialetti Venus is so quick. Itâs a game changer. I most likely will not be using my wifeâs Keurig either.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND A GREAT PRICE. Read the instruction sheet before use.
UPDATE – December 15, 2022: After using this every day and carefully reviewing YouTube techniques for getting the most out of this pot, I determined that the first “sour” cup of coffee i referenced above was the result of a too coarse grind and brewing it too quickly, so the extraction process could not get the full, smooth body out of the grind. (From what i recall, the actual brew time was a little over one minute.) If your cup is sour, ensure you have fresh, quality beans ground finely for use in a Moka. The percolation “sweet spot” time for this brewer is between 2 and 3 minutes once the coffee enters the top chamber. I have a Maytag gas range with a small burner at the back right of the unit. This burner is PERFECT for this use because you can dial it down to an absolute minimum for the optimal brew time. (See photo.)
If your beans are ground more finely, the brew time will take a bit longer because the steam extraction is forced through a more dense grind. DO NOT TAMP THE COFFEE OR RUSH THE BREW PROCESS. 2-3 minutes actual brew time once the coffee starts percolating out of the top chamber port is key. Espresso grind may be too fine for this pot. It should be a bit more coarse but still finely ground. Experiment and take notes on the settings for your particular grinder.
Finally, watch the gush of steam and froth at the end of the brew time â if it is too aggressive you risk turning the coffee bitter. Both Peet’s® Big Bang whole bean and Lavazza Crema e Gusto (espresso grind) work wonderfully in this unit. In fact, I was surprised that the Peet’s gives Lavazza a run for its money, price-wise. Simply a wonderful cup of coffee to look forward to every morning!
1/16/23 UPDATE: I am posting this to help others with finding replacement gaskets for their Bialetti Venus 6-cup moka pot. I wanted to plan ahead and have a couple gaskets on hand when my gasket eventually fails. After researching, i selected this product which, as stated in their description, is a genuine Bialetti replacement â although the gaskets are made of RUBBER, not silicone as was supplied in my original Venus moka pot.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KG8FT2?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_ypp_rep_k0_1_27&=&crid=37RHY9D1CB4VZ&sprefix=bialetti%2B6%2Bcup%2Bvenus%2Bgasket&th=1
After testing, I must report it was nothing short of a disaster. The rubber replacement gaskets (you get three in the pack) are not to spec and fit much tighter than the original silicone one – being about a millimeter in diameter smaller, and noticeably thicker. As a result, the coffee, when brewed, spurted out in a thick tar-like sludge and there was a hissing noise in the boiler that had never happened before. The brewed cup was bitter and unusable â i drank only half and poured the rest out. I can only deduce that due to the much tighter gasket tolerances, the extraction process was too hot, even at the lowest gas setting on my small burner. I tried to remove the rubber gasket and found it was so tight i had to cut it out in sections using an x-acto knife. The gasket on inspection was stained and deformed after only one use. The average life, Iâm told is only five months, on average.
This is why the original silicone is far superior.
On a side note the replacement filter screen that comes with the gaskets is a cheap aluminum facsimile of the original stainless steel one. AVOID THIS REPLACEMENT PRODUCT. It states it is made in Italy but looks Chinese. You will be disappointed.
Lastly, after contacting Bialettiâs American office in New Jersey regarding these issues and my request to secure an original silicone replacement gasket, i never got a response back, after two followups. Really frustrated by their lack of response.
So, where can i find an alternative gasket replacement?
After extensive reviews, i found a YouTube video regarding this product made by LitOrange (China.) They are silicone and are exactly the same dimensional specs. For all i know, they supplied the original gasket for the Venus, since the pot is also manufactured in China.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VM8QBK6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
They are arriving today and I will be reviewing this week. I hope this helps others in securing a quality replacement gasket for their Venus brewer.
Christian –
IN DEPTH REVIEW! This is an amazing product.
This is an absolutely AMAZING moka pot. If youâre not sure if you should buy this one, buy it. I will tell you exactly why this is an amazing product and the steps to keep it that way. I wanted to give it some time before I wrote a review on this since I have seen others have said their moka pot has either rusted or had something else unfortunate happen. It has been about 3 weeks since Iâve had this and I have had NO issues. The most important part about using this moka pot is to clean it thoroughly. I would assume that the buyers who reported that theirs rusted did not care for them properly. Once you finish, rinse your moka pot with warm water and dry each part completely with a paper towel/towel.
I have been making coffee with this wonderful product everyday and it never fails to disappoint. The thing about moka pots is that the product itself will almost always perform perfectly, and the issues are almost always caused by the owners own mistakes. With proper usage and proper care, this moka pot will pour out amazing coffee each time.
Here are the steps:
Step 1: Once you get the moka pot, open the manual and do a quick read of the simple instructions. There could be a few things you didnât know, so itâs important just to give it a look.
Step 2: Fill the basket up with coffee grounds. You can either use a scale or just fill the coffee up to the top of the basket and level it out. Iâm pretty sure the baskets are designed to be filled up all the way. DO NOT tamp your grounds. This is to ensure that water can easily pass through the grounds. The most you should ever do is tap the sides of the basket to level out the grounds. (I do not tap the basket down or tap the sides anymore because I found that the water still has a difficult time passing through this way as well)
Step 3: Pre-boil some water. Many people say itâs important to use hot water so the coffee grounds are not in contact with heat for too long therefore preventing the grounds from burning and causing an unpleasant flavor.
Step 3: Turn the stovetop on to medium heat. If temperature is too high the extraction with happen too quickly. Medium is perfect.
Step 4: Pour pre-boiled water into the bottom chamber. Fill just below the steam valve. If you fill too much and the water blocks the steam valve, the pressure could build up and your moka pot could explode. So this is a very important step.
Step 5: Drop basket into the bottom chamber
Step 6: Screw on the top of the moka pot all the way. Use a towel to grab the base so you donât burn yourself.
Step 7: Place the moka pot on the stove and watch the magic happen. Youâll see the coffee start to fill up the upper chamber and once you hear it start to sputter you will take it off and run the bottom under cold water to stop the brewing process.
There you go! Youâve just made amazing moka pot coffee. Now, because moka pots rely heavily on how you use it, thereâs many ways you can tweak the process and develop your own brewing technique. The steps I gave you are just the basics.
Okay so real quick. When you clean the moka pot remember to dry it THOROUGHLY. Separate all three parts of the moka pot. Rise each part with warm water. The bottom part and basket are the easiest to clean because one only has water in it and the other is just a small basket. The top part is still extremely easy to clean, but because this is where the coffee sits it takes about a second more to clean. Just make sure you get all the coffee out so your next brew is as fresh as it can be.
Now when you dry, simply just take a paper towel and get all the water out. Make sure itâs completely dry so you donât run into any issues. When youâre done, just assemble it as normal and donât screw the top part on too tight. Leave it attached but keep it loose. This is to make sure you donât wear out the rubber gasket. Thereâs so much more information on the internet that will teach you how to use it even better, but I hope this helps too!

O conteúdo é de uma Caneca grande. mais ou menos 190 ml.
Preço elevado por causa da
marca.
Existem similares também em aço inox por um preço bem menor e com boa avaliação. Como já tinha uma Bialleti de 3 xÃcaras em alumÃnio, acabei comprando esta.
Funciona em fogão por indução.
Hector Ponce –
Esta súper bonita, todo el exterior es de acero inoxidable con muy buena apariencia y brillo. Los filtros y otras piezas son de buena calidad y parece que van a aguantar el uso regular por un buen tiempo. La única pieza que eventualmente hay que reemplazar es el empaque de silicon, pero puede durar años si lo cuidas bien.
Esta cafetera de 6 tazas funciona perfecto y sirve para preparar 220 ml de un café bastante fuerte y concentrado que se parece al expreso pero sin tanta crema (la espuma blanca) y un sabor con menos profundidad. Te lo puedes tomar asà como sale que es bastante concentrado y con sabor fuerte o diluirlo para preparar un âexpreso americanoâ. Yo le pongo 110 ml de café a 130 ml de agua caliente y me queda un café fuerte pero rico. Le he puesto 70 ml de café a 150 ml de agua caliente y queda un café americano mas normal.
Como en cualquier cafetera, la calidad del café es lo mas importante. Si eres súper fan del café como yo, te recomiendo moler el café al momento. El molido debe ser un poco menos fino de lo que requieres para un expreso y de ahà hasta mas grueso, pero sin llegar al que usarÃas para una cafetera de goteo. Si mides el café por volumen, requieres 50 ml (3 cucharadas y un pico) o por peso serán entrre 35 y 40 gramos dependiendo de lo aceitoso de los granos.
Lo mas importante al momento de preparar el café es el llenado del filtro pues debes asegurarte de que el café molido quede asentado y compactado, pero sin que tu lo presiones. Yo sirvo el café en el filtro y le doy golpecitos al costado con la cuchara para que se âacomodeâ y le quepa mas, luego le pongo un poco mas, le doy otros golpecitos y al final paso algo recto sobre el borde del filtro para quitar el exceso y asegurarme de que el café no sobresalga del filtro.
Es mejor calentar la caldera (la parte de abajo de la cafetera) y poner agua caliente antes de poner el filtro y cerrar. Yo pongo la caldera en la estufa, en la hornilla mas pequeña a fuego muy bajo mientras caliento 260 ml de agua en el micro (se pierden como 40 ml en el proceso), cuando el agua está lista la vierto en la caldera, pongo el filtro y me ayudo con un trapo o guantes para cerrar la cafetera sin quemarme. No es necesario que aprietes mucho al cerrar, solo un poco después de que sientas la resistencia que ocasiona el empaque. De qué tanto le aprietes depende lo que te va a durar el empaque y no hace ninguna diferencia en el café que obtienes. Solo asegúrate de que esté un poco apretado para que no se salga el vapor.
Regresas la cafetera a la estufa y le subes la flama para que hierva el agua. Yo dejo la tapa abierta para poder ver cuando empiece a salir el café y tan pronto empiece a âescupirâ o gorgorear, le cierro la tapa (para que no me salpique) y cuento 10 o 15 segundos. Inmediatamente apago el fuego y sirvo el café. Lo poco que sale después ya no lo tomo porque es como mas amargo o quemado y no es mas de 1 o de media cucharada asà que no vale la pena.
Yo solo uso café de tueste medio porque no me gusta tan tostado y el sabor es muy bueno. No se parece en nada al americano que obtengo del mismo café (con la cafetera normalita de goteo y el molido adecuado) ni al sabor del expreso con ese mismo café. Es otra forma de preparar café, sabe diferente y si te gusta tener mas opciones para preparar tu café; vas a disfrutar muchÃsimo usando esta cafetera.
A diferencia de las modelos de aluminio, a esta cafetera la puedes lavar con agua y muy poco jabón solo para quitar el aceite que deja el café y que luego afecta el sabor. Después de cada uso hay que retirar el empaque para enjuagarlo y evitar que se quede café. A la caldera solo la seco cuando se enfrÃa y cada que noto sarro la descalcifico con vinagre blanco (media parte de agua y media de vinagre) con el que aprovecho para limpiar a fondo toda la cafetera.
