Product Description The Bialetti 6 cup Moka Easy looks just like the traditional stove-top Moka Express pot, but with one added extra. It's electric! Comes fitted with a UK standard, 3-point plug.
This product is not suitable for the dishwasher.
not the most durable Sent: 27 December 2007 I have owned this coffee maker for over a year and while I have to agree with the other reviewers that it makes great coffee and is easy to use - it just does not withstand everyday use.
The support is very helpful and sent me a new coffee maker after the first one broke, but after another year with the new version of this coffee maker (check out the 2007 model) I now have the electric base being broke the 3rd time.
I do use this coffee maker on a daily basis, but still I would assume it to last longer than a year.
Support was very helpful, but I do not want to keep asking them for a new part every year...
Looking at the base in more detail, it is very cheaply made (even the new model) and I am convinced making some improvements here would really benefit the durability of this otherwise great coffee maker.
senior moments are us... Sent: 16 January 2007 I was prompted to write a review following the previous reviewer confessing to a 'senior moment' causing an accidental destruction of equipment. I just had one with my Bialetti MokaEasy. It was a Christmas present and replaced my beloved stovetop coffee maker that in the past I boiled up on the smallest gas ring. The electric version makes the same good coffee, I dont have to wait until the gurgles tell me that it is ready and it doesnt make a mess on the cooker - until this morning....
I filled it up and put it on and went into the bathroom.
When I returned to the kitchen you can imagine my distress at finding it in flames and dripping molten plastic all over the cooker top...
Seriously idiotic...
But having recovered my equilibrium, I have returned to Amazon and immediately ordered another one. I just have to work out how to tell the wonderful person who gave it to me in the first place...
This really does the job Sent: 17 July 2006 This is an electric version of the stove-top model that I've used previously and is a huge improvement. No splatter, no having to keep an eye on it and always a great cup of coffee.
I like the angular shape - it makes it easy to get a grip to screw and unscrew it.
Traditional Espresso - but more convenient Sent: 04 December 2004 We loved our traditional shape electric espresso jug - but I killed it by running it without water - had a senior moment! (so we are buying another). I really recommend this it makes excellent espresso coffee.
