Crema, awful! - Post 26.01.

I have now for about three days this pot. Had I read many videos on Youtube bez. the crema formation looked at and decided to get me the Brikka. Well ...
For optics: it is made of aluminum. Bother me personally but not because it is highly polished. Design Technically a little tidbit is the hole in the lid, which of course has its purpose, through which one can view the valve and follow the Kochvogang.
Quilität: As I said from aluminum with plastic handle. Definitely better than processed at 10 EUR cans (no aluminum chips)
For delivery: As always super on Amazon
For Crema: The result for me but as I read in many forums, it is a matter of practice. I still do not get the 3mm thick crema layer down on the packaging touted. She does not even times longer and times.
Now for the most important, the taste: Simply a dream. Compared to my previous Mocha (Moka) pot still a corner stronger and stronger. Thereby generating the water through the valve is a bit length with the coffee remains in connection. Is now to settle purely taste between Mocha and Espresso.

Conclusion: If you are on a very strong coffee can be accessed with no regrets here. Who can do without the crema or a milder coffee would go and buy a jug without valve. Is in my opinion much better, both price and taste, as a as a fully automatic (which of course also a matter of taste)

FINISHING 26.01.12:

have now, after some time the rotation with the Crema finally out. Have tried several coffee brands and varieties. Currently I have many opinions entegen Lavazza Crema e Gusto it, super results with Illy (100% Arabica) and IZZO silver (95% Arabica Robusto 5%) can erziehlen. Of course, this is also with a number of other coffees but also work here anyway times the description had me work with the beautiful, resistant Crema:

1. I always use filtered water (Brita water filter)
2. I fill the water up to about 3mm below the mark on
3. Fill hopper not full to the brim, but up to about 1 o. 2 mm below the rim
4. Set to short preheated griddle and place on the highest level (or is already done through the pre-heating)
5. As soon as it pops provide
6 just before or as soon as only blow the hot air with the thick comes immediately in the Esspressotassen fill (these cups are best because they are thick walls also something close by and in the crema is dammed something).
7. according to need can also again the pot between 1-3 sec. Spots on the plate to even generate a little extra-crema. This crema is then, however, a little coarser and not so fine.

Hoff that I was able to help a few. Is determined to go with other coffee exactly. load it taste you.
