The Venus of Bialetti

Bialetti Venus 4 cups coffee percolator / induction / stainless steel (houseware)

Customer Review

As the age-old coffee percolator aluminum only foul-tasting dishwater vomited, had to get a new device. It should be because of the much simpler cleaning, also in the dishwasher, stainless steel.
So I found the Bialetti Venus 4 cups coffee percolator. Incidentally, I should mention that the mentioned 4 cups, very small cups are very. If you want to get really normal 4 espresso cups full, should resort to the 6-cup version.

The Venus of Bialetti deserves its name rightly has it but a very noble style. This is of course a matter of taste, but ugly is different. Highly polished stainless steel, embossed logo on the side of the pot, matt black plastic elements' all very consistent.
The build quality is high. The mentioned in other reviews sharp edges or burrs, not-fit lid or like I can not confirm. The jug is very easy to screw on the boiler. The lid can be easily opened nicely with your thumb. When pouring drips nothing wrong. The freshly brewed coffee is a poem.

Cleaning is uncomplicated. Whether only with warm water or in the dishwasher is a matter of faith ... Definitely should from time to remove the located at the bottom of the pot and seal the filter for thorough cleaning it. Even the riser pipe must be thoroughly flushed.

To get really good coffee, you should 'generally in this type of preparation' heed some advice.

1) Fill the water up to the lower edge of the overpressure valve in the boiler.
2) the filter element always completely fill with coffee powder and presses this is NOT!
3) pot and kettle really tighten together.
4) The oven 'a ceramic hob in my case' put on half strength.
5) the stove to take the first snarl or hiss immediately from the heat!

Thus, for an aromatic, strong coffee. With or without milk a treat. If the heat is too strong or does this for too long, "burn" the coffee and the coffee will be bitter. This can then also very good recognize the smell.

Incidentally, the finished coffee is not coffee, but rather a mocha. Espresso with crema is obtained only at a pressure of about 6 bar with a proper espresso machine. A conventional espresso maker generates more than a pressure of 1.5 bar.

All in all, it can be stated: Those who love strong coffee and handwork is not afraid, yet also a weakness for good design has, meets with the Bialetti Venus coffee percolator an excellent choice.
