Product Description
An amazing innovation in stove top espresso makers from Bialetti. The new Brikka is specially designed with a patented and break-through Brikka System technology. Bialetti's Brikka is the only stovetop espresso maker on the market that produces the perfect "crema". This crema traps the fine aromatics and flavors that register on the palate adding a thick, richer texture to each cup of coffee. The Brikka is a 4-cup stove top espresso maker. Home luxury and premium espresso and cappuccino machines are perfect Christmas, birthday and anniversary gifts.

 cheap, fast, or good - may I have all three? August 31, 2008
Brian Brock (Laveen, AZ)
Considering Bialetti's goal, to brew a real cup of espresso quickly easily and inexpensively using no more than your stovetop, it really would be no surprise if the Brikka failed on one count, or even two. But this thing really does work. Put coffee and water in proper places, set it on a hot plate, wait as it works up pressure and then jump up as soon as the espresso flows, pour into a cup and enjoy. It has never failed, and the cost/benefit ratio is incredible. I can't imagine having one of those complicated machines to make espresso, which to judge by reviews still fail to produce good espresso below the top price bracket. They must be a chore to clean, too - not the Brikka, which is easier to clean than a French Press.
Best so far from Italy. July 11, 2008
C. Young (Jacksonville, Florida United States)
I am a coffee addict and this is the best so far from Italy that can be produced on a stove top quickly.
Don't clean it with commercial cleansers as the chemicals will leach into the metal. Also, use distilled cool water with coarse ground beans.
I have a variety of machines and beans. I test all coffee and machines on many friends and guests. Only good reviews...even with average quality beans.
Maybe not espresso, exactly, but very good June 23, 2008
wrenhunter (Boston, MA)
OK, it's not espresso "per se" (to use the older Italian), but it's very good coffee and fun to make. I find that I get different amounts of crema from different beans. My local coffee, Equal Exchange, gets nice and creamy with Brikka, but some others are just "flat". Overall, this is a great pot.
Unique stove top espresso maker May 19, 2008
M. R. Fraser (Ann Arbor, MI)
The unique construction of this maker makes not only good espresso but the foam as well. Great for Cuban coffee.
 Didn't work for me... March 19, 2008
C. Lemmi (Rancho Palos Verdes, CA United States)
We use this type (same shape and material) of coffee maker for years with excellent results. But, this unit made the worst coffee ever. We followed all directions and used various types of coffee grinds and it made a bitter undrinkable coffee every time. We sent it back to Amazon for a refund and order another brand to try.
