  What is the upper part of the pot made of? Is there a probability of electrochemical (galvanic) corrosion?

  • 

    doddles on 08/07/2023 - 16:45

    Reviews say aluminium top. None that I've read have mentioned corrosion.

    The aluminium in these will corrode if you wash it with a strong base (in the dishwasher for example).

    Always wash simply with water and a brush, the oils of the coffee will form a patina over time.

    There are no hexagonal shaped moka pots in the market that are not aluminium. The stainless steel base allows use on induction cooktops, the top is definitely aluminium.

    Even though these are a 'copy' of bialetti, bialetti do not have particularly good quality control, these look just as good.

  NOT espresso, this is a moka pot. Quite different as requires boiling water for steam to push the water up through the grounds.

  Espresso uses cooler water, mechanically (lever or electric pump) pushed through the grounds under pressure.
  Similar, but tastes different.

    Was simply using the label of the product itself. Have edited the title and description.

    My guess, they wanted to get as close as possible to their direct competitor, Bialetti's "Moka Express".

    The word 'espresso' wouldn't infringe, even though it infringes common sense to use it.

    Quite liked this comment on the Myer page:

    2 out of 5 stars.
    "Buy a bialetti
    Construction around the handle was a bit flimsy. Although the item was beautul, it didn't transfer enough of the water into the top chamber. I returned it and bought a bailetti, which works perfectly"

  I have one of the 6 cup pots and pair it with aldi or Coles ground coffee. Works well and coffee tastes good, better than the pods we have. I use half (3 cups) per coffee and milk to make an almost flat white. It takes ~26g of coffee for 6 cups, so it's not going to be as strong as a double espresso caffeine wise. I recommend it as its simple and foolproof coffee that that isnt going to cost you an arm and a leg.
  Worth noting this special comes up a lot.

    Thanks. 26g is only 3 shots. How do they define "cup"?
    My pot takes about the same amount of grounds, and up to 360ml of water. I call that 3 cups.

    Of course you can just add less water to make it stronger.

    • 

      TheOnlyAphex on 08/07/2023 - 18:08

      I think a cup translates to 60ml. The way I've read to do it stronger is to take it off the stove earlier rather than use less water. Moka pots are designed for the set grounds/water/extraction, it's not really meant to be modified. That being said I've use half grounds to make 3 cups in the 6 cup mola pot and it was fine to me.

      Also interested to know this …
      my current stainless steel round pot is 250mL to the bottom of the basket.

      According to wiki the 3 pot moka is 200mL and the 6 pot is 300mL, which makes it even more confusing

    "Foolproof"?? It took me a while to figure out moka pots are not coffee kettles, as most people think it is, I think. Making good coffee with a moka pot is an art and a science, I reckon. It starts by pre-boiling the water, no putting it cold. Then waiting for it flow up top, and lowering heat to attain constant and slow flow. I don't even know why moka pots have a lid, bc it's far from something one can set and forget (till it makes some noise, to be taken out of the heat).

      After a quick google or following the packet instructions you'll get most the way there without issue. As with all things coffee there's always a thousand things to control and techniques to follow, but following the basic steps of: put in coffee, put in water, heat, stop when it spurts - it gives decent coffee at $20-25.

  Decent price! I just bought a Bialetti Induction Brikka Moka pot 4-cup, was around $90. It’s pretty good. Upgraded from my old 3-cup Bialetti Moka pot as we switched to induction cooktop. The Brikka is much bigger than my old one even though it’s 1 cup bigger. I half fill the coffee holder while I used to fill it and the code is very strong, it just feels strange to only half fill it. I’d be tempted to get one of these in a 3-cup version.
