Bialetti Elektrika 110 Volt / 230 Volt Electric Espresso Maker/Travel Design

This is much better than the PREVIOUS MODEL which did not have automatic switch-off. It was quite easy to leave IT on and IT didn't even have a safety cut-out which meant that plug and socket became hard and brittle and could lead to an electrical shock.This model DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS as it has an ON/OFF SWITCH with a red light and makes superb coffee.

Wish it had a British plug, but apart from that it’s fantastic

it was what I wanted s o I cant really say much negative about it. it works, not very quickly unless you fill it with just boiled water, but it works. you need a mains adaptor plug or cut the Italian plug off and fit a UK one. it get really hot, all over, easy to burn your hand on, doesn't have a cut out so you cant leave it alone, you have to stay and manually turn it off when you think its done, but the coffee is nice, I knew all this before I brought it, its expensive for what it is, but hey its Italian, so all this is over looked, happy days.

While this product is good at what it does I do have a few issues with the company and Amazon. I paid for EXPRESS delivery which cost almost £12. After 2 days the item still hadn't been dispatched so only when I emailed did I get an update saying it had been sent (I wonder how long it would have been if I hadn't chased them, which I shouldn't have to do when paying a premium for fast delivery). It then took a further 5 days to arrive.Now I have the item finally here are the issues. The black base is not succeed to the metal element that heats the water. It's wobbly and unstable. Not good for a product that has boiling water in it. Also the red light to indicate it is switched on doesn't work (the only way to turn this product on and off is by pulling out the plug and if you don't it just keeps heating, not great product design!).I contacted via email Amazon and the company and they have not replied in over 2 weeks. Buyer beware. Very poor customer service from all involved. Other than that it makes a great coffee.Amazon you should be ashamed!!!!!

Just as brilliant as the 2 cup non electric, stove top version. The suppliers even sent a uk cable with it so no need to get an adaptor. Also supplied is a European cable so is very versatile.

Nice little coffee maker, perfect when I want to make coffee for one person. Only criticism is that the unit does not lift off the base which makes it a little awkward for pouring. Bought the Bestron coffee maker first but that didn't work when I plugged it in, so I returned it and ordered this instead. Quite speedy and very quiet , most pleased with it.

The coffee is beautiful but it’s a bit small.

Good for one cup of coffee. Bought it as I like to have a good cup of coffee even when travelling. Doesn't take too long to heat up. Bought it in UK and it arrived with a German plug.
