Review on ☕ Alessi Moka Espresso Coffee Maker, 3 cup capacity, in sleek grey shade by Jeremy Bradford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Replacement funnel best for coffee tea espresso

I am writing because several people have damaged the flimsy funnel and are unable to replace it. Cafeteria and place it in my new 3-cup cafeteria designed by Alessi Chipperfield. It fits very well, maybe not quite perfectly, but very, very close. Then I put the Alessi funnel on my old Bialetti. Again, this worked very well. I have NOT made coffee with reversible funnels. These are not ultra-precise items. I assume that Bialetti will work excellently with Alessi and vice versa. If you need to replace your funnel, try Bialetti. Let me know if this is ok. Other people have been wondering where this Alessi cafe is made. Alessi doesn't make it obvious, instead sticking a sticker on the bottom of the box. It says "Made in Vietnam". Others complain that their dining room is discolored from the heat. Let me tell you, don't use heat with these pans! The diameter of the flame should match the diameter of the bottom of the pot. No longer! You will burn the coffee and also damage the pot. Always with Tranquillity. Finally, when the coffee pot starts to squirt, the coffee is ready. Put out the flame immediately! That's all you get, so don't wait for the last bubble. Otherwise burnt coffee again. Not worth the extra milliliter. With the Alessi, the hissing is a little quieter, but still audible.

Pros
  • fingers crossed
Cons
  • sad packaging
