Bialetti is the Ferrari of the percolator world (in this OPs opinion). These also seldom go on sale. Actually I paid $64 on eBay a month ago and thought that was a good deal!
Mod Update: Now on back-order.
CamelCamelCamel.
I want to need another percolator, but I don't. Great price though.
It's not a percolator, it's a moka pot.
A percolator cycles the water over the beans over and over again. It's a basket contained within the same area the water is heated.
A moka pot heats the water and creates pressure, which forces its way over the beans, just once, since the coffee is captured up top.
Very different devices.
Good luck explaining that to a room of italians
Percolators are not a thing in Italy.
Bialetti is the engineer that patented the moka.
I do not know any italian in Aus that refers to it (primarily) as a moka pot. Just saying…
@bemybubble: Good story. I don't know any Italian in Aus that calls it a percolator.
Wouldn't make a difference anyway. It is what it is (a moka pot, not a percolator).
@bemybubble: I don’t know any Italian in Ita that doesn’t call it moka. No chicken in a parmigiana either but that’s another long story
Only 3 left now . Thank you for posting this great deal.
6 cup size - perfect for 2 coffees.
Or 1 really strong coffee.
I did this once on my bialetti brikka 4 cup and i had heart palpitations for almost 12 hours
I do this quite regularly on my Venus 4 cup…Should I be worried?!
Pre boiling the water before adding it to the pot speeds up the process and reduces the coffee burning. ****Warning hot surface
The blue looks stunning, but I only need 4 cups.
Put it in a glass jar in the fridge. Lasts for a week easy.
Choose stainless steel over aluminium every time for cooking appliances.
Why?
Al has it's advantages. It's a great conductor of heat. Most SS is a lousy conductor of heat.
@fantombloo: 1 Al = Alzheimer's ;) not definite but there's concern so I avoid
2. Induction Al will not work on induction hobs
3. Oxidation Al will oxidize over time when in contact with water more or less so dependent on your water PH.
In a boiler this is accelerated, I've seen many expresso machines with Al heat exchangers heavily corroded
Agree on heat transfer, that's why most SS cookware has layers of copper or Al between the layers of SS
Damn, I must have missed this one too..
The Nile also have it directly for $32.45 delivered. Stock might be linked to Amazon so it may disappear if they run out of stock here https://www.thenile.com.au/home/venus-induction-espresso-mak…

Thanks. Ordered direct.
3.5% cashback on cashrewards too

Not a percolator!
Bialetti is more like the Toyota of moka machines.
Sorry guys I think I ordered the last one
Thanks. Got one!
Can still order, but on backorder now.
Thanks OP, I have been holding out for a while. Need a new bigger pot for our caravan as our son has now started drinking espresso, so it meant always making two pots :D
edit: (profanity) it bought it, useful if i have a guest
Bialetti is the Ferrari of the percolator world
So it looks great (in red especially) and has great performance, but will stop working for a ridiculously wide range of reasons and then you complain and the manufacturer will come out and say that their goal the entire time was not to win the championship.
Who cares? It’ll still get you laid
Kogan has it for $32.49.
thanks, got one :)
Spend $50 get $10 back with Amex offer!
Great device and better than the standard aluminium version.
Agree with the user above - boil the kettle and then pour it in, then assemble it. Use heatproof gloves and be careful.
It’s on sale direct from Amazon AU for $59.97 down from $99.95 if you don’t want to wait.
Bialetti Venus 6 Cup Espresso Coffee Maker, Silver https://amzn.asia/d/glEXypw
OOS?
I want one but not sure when Im gonna use this. On camping? I have instant coffees which are not that bad. Maby I can use this as a tea maker?
Overkill as a tea maker as you just need a Billy.
I don't recommend for camping (assuming you're using a campfire) as the handle will melt, or handling the vessel, will take a while for it to cool down
So we have Amazon (The Nile), Kogan (The Nile), and The Nile (The Nile) all selling out, I wonder how many The Nile (The Nile) actually have in stock!
I bought it from The Nile so hopefully they prioritise their own store :D. Should've bought it originally from Amazon, maybe I'm in Denial.
Had the same issue 4 hours later realising all tbese places are sold out..
Purchased mine before it was on backorder. Now they cancelled the order and said no stock. Thought it was ordered through Amazon not a 3rd part seller( the nile).
Anyone get one? Order from the Nile, still "about to ship"
Not yet shipped…slow shipping …
Damm just had my order cancelled from the Nile.
