PMYSTORE

Original Coupon Deal

I have a bit of an obsession with cafeterias and I've been passively watching the Brikka for a while now. I had $50 worth of Myer vouchers to dispose of so bought in-store but with the current 30% off on home accessories, etc at Myer plus the eBay 20% off coupon, this is a really good price for the Brikka.

Or here search Bialetti (and many other home products) via the Myer webpage - https://www.myer.com.au/p/brikka-2-cup-325046080-325045450

PMYSTORE for ebay purchases (it won't let me duplicate the coupon in the deal post).

The newer version is available in 2 and 4 cup in store and other variables available on their eBay store so YMMV but I believe these were definitely worth posting separately, even without the ebay 20% off.

All the best.

    Not much longer, if at all than making a regular cup of coffee. Much better tasting though in my opinion, just depends how rich you like your coffee. You can always get a lighter roast of coffee grind though.

    Much much smoother than any instant coffee you'll ever have. Percolators are my go to for any espresso and a bargain option short of an expensive espresso machine.

    I also dabble in Turkish (greek, crostion, etc) coffee which is a different and more delicate method again but the percolator/cafeteria is a beautiful process in espresso making if you ask me. 😊

    Add water, add coffee, boil on stove (3-5mins), pour. Add milk if desired.

    This Brikka version of the typical moka pot is a patented version of Bialetti's espresso makers, said to produce a bit more crema similar to a coffee machine, but it takes a bit of getting used to, hence why there are usually mixed reviews on the results.

    Do you want quick and easy,…or really good tasting and often fun to make. Many coffee methods are in between, you pick.

    Try experimenting and live a little, you never know, you might like it lol.

  This is such a ripoff. I remember cord selling these for less than 15 dollars.

    Check this brand and model out on youtube and you will see why they charge more, could say your paying for the technology and wow factor ( as well as most likely patented ) and Made in Italy/sold in Myers premiums.

    By the way,…who is "cord"?

      Cotd. I guess it was for a different brand.. But they all look the same.

        db87 on 24/09/2019 - 04:57

        They (COTD) do regularly have them but they are usuay just the regular moka pot. There's a whole range of difference ones even under Bialetti let alone different manufacturers.

        Honestly, Bialetti do make one of the best. The no name ones just don't compare. See my comment above about the Brikka utilising a different valve/boiling system to the regular moka pot.

        If you think these are expensive, don't look up the price of Alessi cafeterias.

    Aside from actual espresso machines that make actual espressos?

    Probably the most affordable way to make an excellent espresso-like coffee, yes, but let's not get carried away.

    • 

      db87 on 24/09/2019 - 05:01

      Said it yourself, espresso-like.

      They are both espresso makers, yet very different consistency. The moka pot extraction is no different to any coffee machine, it's just the final consistency that varies.

      Moka pot coffee for me is more similar to filtered coffee. A lot smoother, commonly less bitter (obviously grind, bean and extraction are all factors), and far easier to get consistent results as opposed to a manual coffee machine.

      A pod machine might be your next most convenient, but again, different tastes. I have all 3 (cafeteria, pod and full manual) and you'd be surprised how much the cafeteria gets used!

        What are you tips for moka pot?

        I've only used it twice (both times earlier today) and first coffee was bitter so I made the grind size larger. Fixed it a little but still not spectacular coffee.

        Using a Sunbeam grind fresh (setting 21 out of 25) and oro lavazza. I start with hot water in the pot, then I put the coffee holder in with the coffee level, then add a little water into the section where the extracted coffee ends up.

        Only thing I'm a little unclear of is when to turn off the heat and pour

          @TEER3X: First up, no offense intended, but there's quite a few things going against you here.

          I'm out at the moment so will edit/reply to my own post but in short:
          1. Cold water;
          2. Extra fine grind (good cheap example is Vittoria preground from Safeway/Coles);
          3. It should be screwed on firm but not over-tightened;
          4. Don't compact/tamp the coffee grounds, just spoon in, couple of light taps to fill the sides (not necessary, just what I do), then shave off the top/excess with a knife or your finger and ensure the top edge is totally free of coffee grounds or it will effect the seal;
          5. Place on the stove - ensure the flame is no larger than the base of the moka pot;
          6. Keep an eye on it, after 3-4mins it should start to trickle out, I usually turn the flame off completely when it reaches about halfway to 2/3 full. I've found this reduces the chance of any bitterness and the retained heat is usually enough to push out the remaining water to fill the pot;
          7. Pour;
          8. Enjoy;
          9…… Profit?

            @db87: I'll try your method, my initial tries were based off what I gathered here (hot water, coarse grind, etc):

            I have the original version, not brikka.

              @TEER3X: Model shouldn't matter. The process is the same.

              Give my way a go. I haven't had an uphappy customer yet. 🤷‍♂️

    Fair observation but the Brikka is a different model that utilises a patented valve to create (a bit) more crema. 👍

• 

  ymmf on 23/09/2019 - 23:12

  I bought one from Italy when it first came out a few years ago and since then I have been using it daily. The "crema" that it claims to produce is very thin, although I don't really care. Two things to notice: 1. it is aluminium so expect it to get stained; 2. the 2-cup version uses a 3-cup seal from other Bialetti moka pot so don't get the wrong one when you replace the seal!

  I had an old secondhand stovetop unit that must have had a blocked pressure relief valve.. The top half blasted off and put a hole in the ceiling! The kitched was covered in watery coffee grounds. Had to repaint the kitchen (needed to anyway :-)
