 great little latte maker. June 30, 2010
lerato
i desperately wanted an espresso machine to make my lattes at home; however, i didn't want to give up precious counter space to a machine, nor did i want to spend the big bucks. this stove top espresso maker was the perfect solution. it took me a few tries before i got the hang of it, but now that i know what i am doing, it is a cinch to make my latte every morning. bonus, it doesn't take up any counter space and it is super easy to clean. the espresso is delicious, although sans crema. the milk frother is absolutely awesome. it makes a gorgeous thick foam of milk perfect to plop on top of the espresso for a delicious latte.
if you are an espresso snob, this is probably not the device for you, but if you are like me and just want a yummy latte without the $4 starbucks price tag, then this might just be what you were looking for.
 Really 6 cups??? June 19, 2010
C. Seiders (Harrisburg, PA United States)
While this thing makes a good cup of coffee, I can't figure out how they can call it a 6 cup espresso maker. It makes exactly 8 ounces of coffee. The separate milk frother makes 32 ounces - is that where they are getting their 6 cups - one cup of coffee plus 4 cups of cream? I had to check when it arrived to make sure they sent the right model - the box says 6 cups.

This product has exceeded all of my first-time home espresso maker expectations! I was initially searching for a fancy, countertop pump machine. For far less money and counter space, I chose the Bialetti set. It's perfect! The espresso is very easy to make, clean-up is a breeze, and the milk frother works incredibly well with both regular and soy milk. The foam remains on my drink until the last sip! After months of indecision and buying and returning an expensive pump machine, I'm so glad I found this set!
incredible package! April 28, 2010

I was a barista in a real Italian coffee shop in Europe for many years, and after the first use of this product, i confidently give it 5 stars. The Milk frother is incredible! Using 2% milk, on my first attempt, I was able to get as good, if not slightly better results than from a professional espresso machine.
Tips for great cappuccino milk: DO NOT over heat the milk (140-160 degrees maximum), as it loses a lot of natural sweetness and flavor. After a few pumps with the frother, you should have a good amount of foam. Then tap the milk jug on the counter a few times to release some of the air bubbles, and swirl the milk around to combine. Do this a couple times and the milk should have a fantastic shine to it, and be one smooth, velvety consistency (not hot milk with separate froth on top). You can then pour this over the coffee, and shouldn't have to use a spoon at all (a sign of a bad barista!) You can obviously alter the thickness of the milk by pumping more or less with the frother at the start of the process. For a Latte you can simply heat the milk and pour over the coffee, or give a gentle froth to it.
It definitely helps a great deal to have the nonstick coating on the milk jug, as heating it up on the stove this way left a lot of milk residue on the inside that would have been a pain to clean up.
The Bialetti Moka coffee maker is a legendary piece of kit, and there are many tips out there for getting great coffee. An important one is to not use soap when cleaning it, as they consider the leftover oils to form a protective barrier, which stop the coffee getting a metallic taste from the pot itself. Therefore it is often recommended to brew one pot of weak coffee and discard this before using for the first time.
As a package, these two pieces work incredibly together, and are able to produce 2 large cappuccinos or lattes easily. It might take a little practice and experimentation for a novice to produce their perfect latte or cappuccino, but it will be worth it!
As many have said before, farewell expensive coffee shops! You will be able to make much better coffee at home for pennies!
So easy to make a great cup of cappuccino April 23, 2010
Jersey Mom (New Jersey)
I love how easy this set is to use!! Just fill water to the line, add your coffee (definitely worth it to get a good espresso like illy), put the top on and wait for the sound that it's done. The frother was even easier... fill it a third with milk (I used 2% and no issues getting a great foam) and put it on the heat until the milk is hot then use to the top for about 10 seconds. I can now enjoy a cappuccino at home anytime I want with very little effort.
