Great espresso maker June 14, 2008

This one is way better than the Class model. The handle is very comfortable and it cleans-up much better than the Moka. The 10 cup makes 2 large cups for me- a nice wake-up in the morning. I recommend this one without reservation.

This makes great espresso!! Here are a few tips to make a perfect cup of espresso: Remember to fill the water just below the safety valve. Too much water can prevent the valve from working properly. It's kinda like a pressure cooker. Too much water can cause problems.
Don't overfill the funnel with too much coffee. Too much coffee in the funnel can cause the coffee not to brew properly. I fill it just below the top edge of the funnel. Set your burner to medium or medium low and watch it carefully. Don't walk away because it can get ahead of you. Besides, watching the coffee brew is kinda cool ;) Keep working at it and you'll get the hang of it and pretty soon, you'll LOVE it! I use mine everyday and have had it for a few years now and I haven't had a single problem with it. Remember it is NOT the same espresso that you find at Starbucks. This makes traditional Italian espresso.

Before buying the Musa, I used the Bialetti Moka Express for about 4 years and loved it. Then I bought the Musa, expecting the same perfection, but I was very disappointed. The Musa is more of a coffee maker than an espresso maker. True, it makes an amazing cup of coffee, but it is far too weak to be used in a cappuccino or latte. I found that I had to use twice as many shots to have the same potency as my old Moka Express which means a lot less room for steamed milk and less servings all around. If you don't mind the aluminum, get the Moka Express instead.
Bialetti Musa - Very Nice April 11, 2007

This little pot makes a great, smooth cup of coffee, and I like its appearance. There are two drawbacks. First, the lid opening mechanism is a lovely sculptural shape, but doesn't really work. As a previous reviewer mentioned, one doesn't have much reason to use it, so it's not a serious drawback. The other, more serious problem is the difficulty I've had in tightening the base when assembling the pot after filling with water and ground coffee. The base is quite wide, and for those with small hands, or with arthritis, this can be very hard to do. I have found my way around this by cutting a small piece of non-slip rug padding, and using it to get a better grip. One can also use a damp paper towel for this purpose. Overall, I'm very happy with this product.
