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.

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.
 Stopped producing the creme/foam May 22, 2008
M. Rosenthal (maputo, mozambique)
i bought this machine recently and the first four or five times i used it, i was very, very happy - it was making great cups of moka with a great layer of creme. but all of a sudden it has stopped producing the creme and i am not sure what the problem is. i have been following the instructions closely so i am not sure what has happened. i am still getting a good cup of moka but nothing more than that. any suggestions from my fellow addicts would be very welcome!
 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.
Review of the 2 Cup model February 11, 2008
Shopper (newport, ri)

I am very picky when it comes to espresso... and I have been very surprised by the good quality espresso this machine is capable of! The 2-cup model is preferable - especially if you only intend to serve 1-3 cups at a time. You need to make the whole amount, so it ends up being wasteful if you buy the 4-cup version (if only 1-2 people are served). Americans are accustomed to "double espresso" size servings - if you make single espresso size shots a 2-cup model can easily produce 3 generous portions.
I have found the Brikka espresso tastier than the Moka. And if prepared correctly, there really is a decent crema on top. There's no comparing homemade to professionally made espresso - but this little brikka is better than most home machines that cost hundreds of dollars. I highly recommend!
