Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Makes better espresso then most of the espresso shops here in Java Town, Seattle. It also costs about ten times less then an espresso machine that probably won't make as good coffee, and eventualy will need repair. Bialetti has been making these things since the dawn of time and have it down to a science. A few tips: 1. Grind coffee between medium and fine. 2. Don't pack coffee into basket like you do in an espresso machine. 3. Heat between medium and high heat. 4. Be careful not to have the handle be over the burner of flame. 5. NEVER WASH THE POT WITH DETERGENT. JUST RINSE AND DRY. The more you use the pot,the better the coffee becomes. 6. Before using for the first time season the pot. Make a pot of weak coffee and discard it.
