Addendum: Now that we have become accustomed to something on the stove, although the criticisms described have not disappeared, but one must say that the coffee is cooked quickly and tastes. So, I will now give a second star to. ____________ 1 review This is a very bad product. The timer is completely unnecessary and interferes with a quick, easy handling. Unfortunately, there is no-Timer version (which I in your old version had years in operation)., As depicted and described in the instructions, nowhere to buy As a former supporter of the company Bialetti I am very disappointed that the formerly well functioning espresso maker are now history. This model also disrupts that the handle is warm, almost hot, that the clock crashes as soon as you pull the plug, though you have loaded the "internal battery" 8 hours (!). The programming option (evening cooker in the morning ready to get up espresso) does not work, because overnight the coffee powder absorbs the moisture from the water pot and the preparation process then reports under different conditions with screeching beep disorder. Come also to the fact that the base is very large and does not look good, the control buttons are tiny and do not affect quality. And then the proud price! You pay for the name, but the promises only more of what he has previously held sometimes. This is now my second letdown with an espresso maker by Bialetti recently. The cooker for induction plate is also a flop. PITY!
