Description of Geyser coffee maker Bialetti New Brikka, 90 ml, silver/black
- Ideal volume if you brew coffee only for yourself Rich foam (cream)
- Not detected
- - prepares coffee with foam; - simple and reliable like the T-34, with basic care enough for a lifetime; - takes up little space
- - prepares a strictly defined volume of coffee, so the optimal usage scenario is the regular preparation of a drink for a predetermined number of consumers; you can, of course, keep several options of different sizes with the expectation of guests, but then the advantage of compactness is lost; - the foam is not as resistant as when preparing in a coffee machine; - relatively large coffee basket size - coffee is strong, coffee consumption increases
- Brews delicious coffee, almost indistinguishable from espresso. The optimal amount of finished coffee for 2-3 people. There is also the classic Bialetti moka express, but in Brikka coffee is less acidic and its taste is more intense.
- No
- 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.
- 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 :)
- Rugged, reliable construction. A portion is obtained for a large cup to wake up in the morning. I cook with the lid open. Then you can accurately determine the moment of shutdown. Otherwise, the coffee may boil in the upper bowl. Boils in five minutes. By the time you make your breakfast, your coffee is ready.
- The silicone gasket is thin. Even with a full spin, it lets steam through. I had to rearrange with another coffee maker that had served its purpose. Look for a spare gasket. A silicone valve insert and can not be found. Huge bowl for ground coffee. This is the norm for 3-4 people.
