Review on Bialetti Moka Express: Authentic Stovetop Espresso Maker for Italian Coffee - 3 Cup (4.3 Oz - 130 Ml), Silver Aluminium by Justin Hines

Revainrating 1 out of 5

***BEWARE! I got a FAKE!***

Words cannot describe how disappointed I am with this product (so congratulations! You gave me no choice but to write my first Amazon review !). I was so oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited to make my own espresso with this, but once I opened the package and started observing the product, I realized that it might not have been real Bialetti. The first big giveaway was the product label below where it should say .idk, full spelling and full logo?! So I started googling, went to the official website, looked at everyone else's photos and heartbrokenly said what I got wasn't real. The relief on the top cover is not the same as the real one. The quality is terrible, pieces of metal fall out in the form of sand, the cut is not even, very rough, there are scratches. I am just sad. Will definitely be returning this and buying from the official website or from William Sonoma who I can really trust. UPDATE: I found another reason why I believe this is fake. The text "Made in Italy" differs from that on the packaging. The font shown on the print is much thinner and looks more sophisticated than the font printed on the actual product.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
