I joyfully used a Bialetti 2-cup for 15 years. No problem. from Amazon.com I have every kind of coffee maker you might imagine: Moka pot, Pour - over drip, Electric drip, French press, Vacuum siphon, etc. While I love them all, and each has merits - the Brikka is my favorite. It is easy to use (the instructions are important!) and it makes the best coffee drink ever. from Amazon.com This machine rocks. It's even better than the Moka machines from Bialetti. from Amazon.com The Bialetti Brikka is a beautiful piece of equipment -- truly the Ferrari of the coffee-maker world! As you'd expect with any fine Italian product, it can be temperamental and finicky. from Amazon.com I have a traditional moka pot (MOKA EXPRESS 3-Cup Espresso Maker), but this is by far and away a lot more espresso-like than what that makes. I bought this as a gift, and I was so surprised by it that I got one for myself and will be retiring my moka pot. I have had espresso from shops made on real espresso machines not as good as what comes out of this little pot (shame on them). That being said, this is no match for an authentic, quality espresso. from Amazon.com After a few episodes of not being able to turn the base on, it eventually quit working entirely. Well, that was pretty disappointing because the unit is expensive. Today the owner of a chef's supply in my town suggested I contact Bialetti, which I did tonight. I think I've had the unit for about a year, so it may not be under warranty. from Amazon.com I got the 2-cup from Singapore and I loved it so much. We were drinking cafe latte (just Brikka coffee + milk) almost every day until we burnt the handle off! We were so careless! from Amazon.com I have both the 4-cup and 2-cup Brikkas, and I use both regularly. The last time I checked online a few months ago, both were available in North America. from Amazon.com I think this is a little over rated. Just because something has been in use for 60 years and conjures up nostalgia, like the original Moka Express, doesn't make it great. I can't seem to get over the fact that the Brikkas and Moka are aluminum. (Although aluminum is the most abundant metal on earth, it never appears in pure form because it is too reactive.) I swear it imparts a slight undesirable metalic taste to the coffee. from Amazon.com Considering Bialetti's goal, to brew a real cup of espresso quickly easily and inexpensively using no more than your stovetop, it really would be no surprise if the Brikka failed on one count, or even two. But this thing really does work. from Amazon.com
