Review on ☕ Bialetti 3 Cup Stovetop Espresso Coffee Maker Replacement Gasket and Filter: High-Quality Parts for Optimal Brewing and Flavor by Miriam Hettich

Revainrating 1 out of 5

why is it so difficult

Why are these Bialleti models such unusual sizes? From what I understand these are Euro-Italian, but if sold here in the US it seems appropriate to add some useful sizing information. Only MOD DEP is written on my base model. There's no indication of how many "cups" it holds, and I have no idea how big the "espresso cup" should be. So I have to measure and guess and rely on other consumers to post useful information. Somehow my measurements were inaccurate and I ordered the wrong size. Isn't it asking too much to list the device size directly on the espresso machine? Also the packaging does not indicate the size of the seal. It just says ¾ - whatever it is. And the Bialetti site is useless. I've tried four different retailers including Sonoma Williams, Target, and Bed Bath & Beyond and none of them sell these pads. In the meantime I have posted pictures here showing the exact dimensions of this product. Much luck.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
