Customer Reviews

Best Espresso Maker for 1-2 people better than those expensive machines
I was really impressed by this dynamo of an espresso maker which in my opinion is better than any fancy or very expensive pump machine. Every cup of espresso I have with this maker comes out perfect, with the crema in it. Save yourself a lot of money when considering an espresso maker, this 50 dollar stove top maker will outperform your several hundred dollar pump machine everytime. The proof is in the cup you will enjoy with this espresso maker. Remember to follow the instructions, which are actually easy to understand. I am sold on Bialetti Brikka makers...you will be too.

Brikka
I don't drink coffee but my husband wanted an inexpensive but good quality espresso maker. He absolutely LOVES this Brikka and also bought the bigger one because the 2 cupper make a small shot. I don't think he'll ever drink regular coffee again!

Bought three of these and all three were defective
I just wanted to alert potential Brikka buyers that there may be several batches of defective Brikkas floating around on the market. So far I've gone through three of them and all three were defective -- very poorly machined, sharp jagged edges, gaskets that don't fit, loose safety valves, flakes of metal floating in the brewed coffee (not good!), etc. Maybe I'll try again at some point in the future once the defective batches have disappeared. Hopefully Bialetti's quality control will improve by then.

On the bright side, Amazon makes it very easy to return defective merchandise. Kudos for that.
