Since the cup size is highly variable as a benchmark, here are a few data Bialetti Venus 6 cups:
- Height floor to Ausgussrand 19 cm
- Diameter base 10.5 cm
- 300ml
Pro:
- Solid construction, that is not a thin sheet, but stable steel
- No ridges that interfere with the cleaning
- Not "erosion" in the water tank after repeated use, still without residue
- Can turn smoothly without getting caught and jamming
- Has stable lid hinge, does not rattle and sitting still centered, seals well against
- Is done relatively quickly with the Espresso Cooking
- Bubbling not too loud (compared to its predecessor Cheap-that was certainly heard by the neighbors)
Contraindications:
-. The remarks concerning many others steam running down the handle, I can not confirm there is Allerding neither burn hazard, nor is the stove flooded, there are only 2-3 drops, the drops next to the hob and dry dark, me störts not and does not affect my view, the handling / quality not really and hence my vote also
Overall, I would recommend it and would buy it again. Even if I the next few decades probably does not have to. :-)
