I bought it because it was certified "18/10", guaranteeing quality, not practicality! The disadvantages compared to the Bialetti: - The capacity "10 Cup" is less than that of the Bialetti "10 cups." - After making coffee, there is always a background of water in the bottom half when everything evaporates with Bialetti. - A number of equal power on the induction plate, the Bialetti is much faster. This must be due to the fact that the lower part of the Bialetti is wider and thus more surface area in contact with the induction plate. That's my opinion!
