5 out of 5 stars exactly what I wanted   August 27, 2008
Jennifer Chubb (Fairfax, VA United States)
This product works perfectly, quickly, and makes great espresso. I was concerned about whether it would be messy and spray all over the place, but it doesn't really at all. (Unless you forget to put the cups on the tray, which I did once. Then it makes a pretty respectable mess.)

DON'T pack the coffee down, and DO use good coffee intended for espresso, it makes all the difference.



5 out of 5 stars Fast and good coffee   August 25, 2008

This Bialetti mini express is the fast way to get an "almost" espresso coffee at home. The product has good quality and makes good coffee. I recomend.

I purchased this Bialetti Mini Express as a present for my husband. We have several Bialetti mokas and are thoroughly satisfied with them so I did not hesitate in purchasing this one. Unfortunately, this model does not make two equal cups of coffee. One expresso is almost full and overly strong. The second cup is one third full and very weak. It is possible to mix the two for a double shot, but alone they are undrinkable. This product is a disappointment.

I have been looking at electric countertop espresso makers for years, but was afraid to buy one because of the cost and size. We got one of these on a whim because it was so cute, and it has worked wonderfully! It only takes about 3 minutes to make 2 shots of esresso, and cleans up very easily.


4 out of 5 stars Brews two nice cups of expresso   October 1, 2007

The Mini Express works great. It's easy to use and clean (remember not to use soap), and it brews some nice expresso. I'm usually just making coffee for myself, so I bent one of the spouts around so they both go into one larger cup; I'm not sure if you're supposed to do that, but it worked fine.

A couple of other remarks: The cute cups in the picture aren't included :(, and at the end of the brew, it tends to "spit" coffee until you remove it from the heat. If your cups are tall enough, it's not a problem, but otherwise you'll get little coffee specks all over your stove.
