Review on Geyser coffee maker Bialetti Moka Express 1164 (4 portions), silver by Gabriela Chodun (Gab ᠌

-There are some nuances, but in general it is not difficult to get used to it, and if you follow all the rules, a cup of strong rich coffee awaits you. - By the way, it is highly recommended to use coffee freshly roasted, ground on a burr coffee grinder, medium grinding, ala granulated sugar. Fine grinding, as for Turks, is prohibited, otherwise the water will not pass through the coffee tablet and, at best, you will spoil the coffee - the pressure will go through the emergency valve on the side of the boiler. At worst, the risk of an explosion. Bialetti makes durable coffee makers, of course, the risk is small, but cheap Chinese ones are just on the way. There are enough videos on the Internet. So don't risk it. -Coffee, be sure to fill in the full volume of the lower grid. Otherwise it will be watery. It is better not to ram, again, the risk of creating excessive pressure. By weight of coffee somewhere around 20-22 grams. If you have a lot, see a smaller volume. Or steel Venus by 4, where the basket is smaller, somewhere around 16-18 grams for the same volume of water. But the coffee won't be as hot (I have both this one and Venus, so I know what I'm talking about). - Suitable for use on gas, conventional electric stove, glass ceramics. Induction is not. For induction, see either all-steel options or combined, where the bottom is steel, the top is aluminum. -4 portions are Italian portions. The actual volume of the boiler - the lower part, 200 ml. before risks, coffee at the exit of 150-180 ml.
