For those preferring a smoother coffee taste, the Bialetti 4-Cup Musa combines beauty and elegance in a tastefully designed stovetop espresso maker. Bialetti’s legacy of quality and reliability lives on in this coffee maker crafted in high-quality 18/10 stainless steel (including the inner parts such as funnel & filter plate) with ergonomic, heat-resistant handle and lid. Produces 4 cups of rich, authentic Italian espresso in just 4-5 minutes. Note that max boiler capacity is slightly greater than the final output. Some water will be left in the boiler after brewing. The Musa is compatible with all stovetops, including induction cooktops. Stainless steel espresso pots are not dishwasher safe, hand wash only. Never use other contents besides coffee like teas, cacao powder, instant coffee or fine ground coffee as it will clog the filter plate. To use; fill the lower chamber with cold water just below the valve. Insert the funnel and fill it with ground espresso (do not tamp). Remove any coffee grounds on the edge of the funnel. Tightly screw the upper part of the pot on the base. Avoid using the handle for leverage. Select burner size to fit the bottom of pot. For gas stovetop, make sure the flame is not larger than bottom of pot. The flame should not come around the sides of the pot. Place pot on the stovetop until the water boils and coffee begins to come out of the center post. There will be a gurgling sound during this process. When the top of the pot is full of coffee, remove from stove. Hazel brown foam appears just seconds before the coffee is completely done. Before pouring coffee, stir it in the upper chamber with a small spoon to equalize all the different coffee layers for optimum flavor. Bialetti is the world’s most recognized and beloved Italian coffee company. Bialetti coffee makers have become iconic and has allowed millions of consumers to enjoy great Italian coffee that once was only available in cafes and restaurants. Bialetti’s passion remains in making superb coffee simple.

Great Moka Pot and Steps for a Perfect Moka Espresso! So, in an effort to break my Starbucks habit, I purchased this and a Kuissential milk frother. From all of the reviews of multiple moka pots I decided to stay with a Bialetti in stainless steel and not aluminum. This particular pot is very sleek and attractive and looks nice on our island behind the cooktop. More importantly, the moka pot works PERFECTLY! I wanted to be sure that I could produce the best tasting espresso from the pot, so I did quite a bit of research online about “how…
GREAT Moka espresso. POOR instructions enclosed. WRONG top photograph!! Wonderful coffee once you know how to use the unit. The enclosed instructions have poorly translated English.As of November 2015, Amazon shows the WRONG photograph of the 6956. You are purchasing the unit with the “butterfly” black part on the top as most of the photos show. The top picture is another Musa model, not the 6956.Bottom line: You will have 8 ounces of extracted coffee / expresso from the 6-cup pot if you use it safely (do not put water in past…
Bad quality metal, questionable design Surprised it had so many good reviews (reason why I bought it). Needed it since my new kitchen doesn’t have gas stove, so I got and lovingly use induction to cook; thus can’t use old and faithful grandmas aluminum one. Less than two months, yet after return window, with about twice daily use, it already is in need of tossing.Bad quality metal: after about a month I started noticing a rim on the inside of the water holder. Though it was just coffee dripping back down. Unfortunately, it…
