Customer Review

Bought the successor to the "Bialetti Mukka". The Mukka can also simultaneously foaming milk, but I wanted a machine that is operated by energy saving kettle principle instead by hotplate. Experience after six months of regular use:

Positives:
- Device works well (turn good, otherwise the pressure will escape if necessary), and is sufficiently good to clean.
- Coffee tastes pretty good.

Negatives:
- Design hurts: There's no way to keep the unit or apart or zusammenzuschrauben without "cutting" the sharp edges and corners somewhere in your hands. Well, not really cut, but the supernatant plate edge of the lid or the plastic edge of the socket are very uncomfortable if there has to be supplied packed solid. Or the Henkel: A curved flat steel! To keep bad here only helps firmly engage much, but this is because of the narrow steel uncomfortable again. Bialetti Mukka the exact opposite: There, everything is round, top, bottom, handle to keep everything very pleasant and use.
- Switch: Why can not function as a normal kettle switches? Manually it can only be to enable, but not off. He also leaves to turn on without electricity contact, at the same time the switch is exposed, that quickly happened accidentally, eg when cleaning. The result: The machine stands with me when not needed, almost always next to the heating station, therefore always requires twice as much space on the countertop like a normal kettle.

Conclusion: the device and makes good coffee, but the ease of use was sacrificed to design mercilessly. Therefore only 3 stars.
