Bialetti Brikka 4 Cup Stove Top Espresso Maker With Free Illy Espresso Coffee

But really FrenchPress almost produces just as good. If you do a fine grind and use a lot of coffee and stir real good.

But this machine probably performs better because it produces creama and uses a little FORCE.

I got it right by the 6th attempt. You gotta remember is:

1. use HIGH heat , my stove is 1-9, i put mine on 9. Don't listen to the reviews where it says medium heat.

That is y their coffee comes out with no creama and the valve doesnt POP!!!

2. Use Fine to Medium to course grind. Well anygrind works. U just gotta use HIGH heat.

3. It takes 3-4 minutes. BOOM (POP)!! it comes out with great FORCE. The valve should come up and act like it is gonna fly off.

It will NOT do that with low to medium heat.

i used Seagrafredo Intermezzo. I am gonna try Starbucks, illy, Beantrees, and Lavazza. I bet I will like it all!!!!

4. I filled my water barely past the water mark and got almost 7 ounces of espresso. On high heat NO water will be left in chamber. Remember HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH heat!!!! HIGH heat!!!!

It makes coffee to the standard of the Bialetti Moka. I am disappointed with the crema that the special valve in the Brikka is supposed to make. It makes the crema but it dissappears very quickly. As you are pouring the coffee into your cup the crema disapates, so you just end up with plain black coffee. The Moka gives you plain black coffee for a lesser cost.
