Review on Geyser coffee maker Bialetti New Brikka, 90 ml, silver/black by Barbara Kope ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

If there are more than two people who like strong coffee, take the option for 4 cups. If for one or two, 2 cups is enough, 4 is too much volume, besides pouring crema into 3-4 cups evenly is a separate art :) I also want to say that the quality of the water affects the preparation of crema, that's for sure! Therefore, if the filter is already serving the second half of the term, it is better to use bottled purified water for coffee.

Pros
  • Brews coffee perfectly, if you follow all the conditions of preparation - a wonderful crema! Coffee is best bought for espresso, it is better to grind it yourself (not very finely, but not like for a French press). If it is not possible, you can buy ready-ground ground - Lavazza Espresso Italiano (100% arabica, in black cans) and Julius Meinl (prince grande espresso vienna roast, in a gray pack with a red stripe) suited me perfectly. For those who do not like a very strong drink, just take a moka or another coffee maker, it makes no sense to overpay. For those who love real strong Italian espresso - Brikka is just a gift! I took it as an alternative to a coffee machine, because. little space in the kitchen.
Cons
  • Everything is fine, at first you need to get the hang of it. Before purchasing, I read reviews that supposedly for crema you need to use a mixture of Arabica (80%) + Robusta (20%). I don’t know, I already have an excellent crema, with 100% Arabica :)
