This subject has been well written about all the Bialetti Moka makes a, the portafilter espresso and the fully automatic strong coffee conjures a Crema using air supply. All well and good.
But now for Bialetti. Taste everything fits here. For "small" money, you get a taste experience that you can only offer a portafilter otherwise. It makes a delicious Moka and is definitely worth your money. Stylish design and high-quality workmanship comes the Moka Express over.
For the preparation I take Illy Moka powder (The perfect grain and does not clog the sieve), because I've still gained no mill the ground variant. Powder, not just press spoon into sieve (to the brim full) and there you go. Personally, I'll take a little less water ... well half a centimeter below the fill line, because I so the Moka tastes best. But here everyone has to try it yourself and drink a lot, until he gets out the perfect ratio. My tip: try, try, try and try again. The important thing is that the coffee is not pressed, otherwise the water no longer comes through (stop only 1.5 bar). Can operate on the stove at medium heat then - not full power. Finish is the enjoyment.
Please observe, not that you do provide you with the size. The cooker is designed for 2 Moka- / espresso cups, so do not be surprised when you unpack the box and since only a small pot comes to light. Especially with electric stoves should consider buying an extra griddle, so not too much energy is lost. For gas, there are no problems, just enclose the flame low.
