Brikka Espresso Maker

If you're looking for perfect home made coffee then this is the Bialetti that will do it for you. This espresso maker keeps all the coffee flavours and produces a delicious foam. The 4 cup is a good size even for just 2 people.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

I bought the Brikka to replace my generic mocha pot, and thus far had very inconsistent results. Having tried different grinds, different types of espresso beans, different stovetop heat settings, even different types of water, the Brikka is yet to produce anything that comes close to a "real" espresso. On a good day it makes crema that lasts for about five seconds and on a bad it spurts coffee all over a 35cm radius. The only thing left to try is to test it at a different altitude. If that doesn't work I'm ordering a machine. Read more

I bought the 4 cup and it makes just under one big mug of coffee with the water straight from the pot and 2 strong big mugs if you top up with boiling water. 3 big mugs wasn't as strong but I enjoy stronger coffee so 3 is doable. Still busy experimenting to get that perfect crema but I still got decent crema in the first few tries.

The Italian brikka pot is a must-have if you like strong coffee, the way the Italians do. You are obviously in the market for a moka pot, and the brikka is probably the best one you can get due to the valve system inside.
It doesn't make real espresso, but the valve will give u a small bit crema on top. Just to be clear, it's not real espresso due to it only pushing 2 bars, but the flavor and texture of the coffee is great. Read more

This machine has surpassed my expectations and delivered a shot with a really thick crema. We are now enjoying cappuccino's at home every day.
