This espresso maker has, as we see, a very nice design. The stainless steel is high-gloss and matte black plastic he has elements (handle and lid).
The build quality is quite high. The upper part of the pot can also be very simply screw on the lower part.
The lid is very easy to open. When pouring drips nothing wrong.
Man, the pot and everything else very good and easy to clean. Whether with warm water or in the dishwasher. A 'real' Italians would make the pot never in the dishwasher, because thus the good taste - the 'patina' lost again, just as in a good teapot. However, I clean all parts always quite regularly! Also the filter, the sealing rings, ... and thus I have long great joy and a great taste.
I can very happy to recommend this Bialetti!
