Bialetti 7317 Brikka induction coffee machine, 4 cups (160 ml), bar style espresso, suitable for all types of stoves, elegant design

We have an AGA but with this pool;onged heat and the high energy prices we had to turn it off for the summer. We love having our Espressos after our evening meal but our existing Bialettis ( we have 3 !) are the traditional type and don't work on an induction hob. So we bought this one. My tips are: Don't worry about the "open top", it is meant to be like that; DO use the small measuring pot for the water - if you put too much in the flavour is not as good, and it can overflow; I have found the on the induction plate 400 W is about right. (You can give a little time at 500W and once it is bubbling through you can reduce from 400W to 300W). Watch it, and be careful. The Flavour is fabulous - arguably better than the traditional Bialetti done on the stove top of the AGA).

The Rolls Royce of moka pots. Oozes quality and works like it does too. Have tried many moka pots but this is head and shoulders above anything else for making great coffee.

Brilliant for making coffee but compared to a normal Moka pot requires a little more to take apart after use, assuming due to the pressure that’s built up inside. Also prep beforehand needs to be a bit more on point (i.e. weigh everything out and time) to get a great coffee as it’s pretty easy to over extract but if you get it right it’s a fantastic cup of coffee with more depth of flavour than any Moka pot I’ve used previously.

Makes lovely tasting coffee . Well made and easy to use . Love this item

On the positive side, the device looks nice, and it makes a very acceptable stovetop espresso on an induction hob in a few minutes, but make sure that you keep it at a little lower than full power to avoid a burnt, bitter brew, and remove from heat once coffee starts to bubble up - keeping on the heat as you might be used to with a conventional stovetop machine will result in a boil over. Massive loss of stars for the build quality, though. The metal body of the device seems pretty robust, but the plastic fittings are cheap and low quality, especially compared to my traditional 20 year old Bialetti. The machine requires quite a lot of force to unscrew the upper part from the base, and the flimsy plastic thumb lever on the lid of the upper is badly attached, made from cheap, lightweight plastic, and has already loosened and detached after a week’s use despite attempts to keep my hands clear of it when unscrewing. I suspect that if I’m not very careful then the same will happen more catastrophically to the handle.

Nicely designed Brikka open top pot . A significant improvement over using an induction plate with old style pot

Love my coffee pot.

Would recommend, but need to be careful of potentially burning oneself when it comes up to boiling.

First time brew, got really excited when the coffee started coming out. Was a bit worried because somehow the bottom pot where you store water won't lock with the top completely. But then, it's ok. Just remember to switch off the stove the moment you see coffee pouring in, before the sputtering sound ofcourse. Good upgrade from drip coffee maker.

Ich habe mir die Bialetti Brikka Induktion gekauft, da ich endlich einen Espressokocher wollte, der mit meinem Induktionsherd kompatibel ist – und ich bin absolut begeistert! Das Zusammenspiel mit der Kaffeeautomatik meines Herds funktioniert perfekt. Die Brikka heizt extrem schnell auf, sodass der Kaffee in Rekordzeit fertig ist. Dabei wird der Kaffee wunderbar intensiv, ohne auch nur ansatzweise verbrannt zu schmecken. Besonders toll finde ich die spezielle Crema, die diese Brikka erzeugt – fast wie beim Espresso aus einer Siebträgermaschine. Für jeden, der kräftigen Kaffee liebt, ist das ein echter Genuss! Einziger Wermutstropfen: Leider gibt es diese Version nicht für zwei Tassen. Gerade für den schnellen Espresso zu zweit wäre das ideal. Dennoch ist die Brikka für alle Kaffeeliebhaber mit Induktionsherd eine klare Empfehlung – praktisch, hochwertig verarbeitet und geschmacklich top! Ich würde sie jederzeit wieder kaufen.

this model moka no no no. i always use Moka but this model is not a good idea. use other classic models.

Muy bien producto, si os gusta más suave el café no compréis brikka buscar otro modelo inducción, lo digo porque simula el expreso por lo demás muy buena
