I strongly advise against the Bialetti Venus, where the lid hinge is in plastic and connected to the handle. After less that 2 months of using it, the upper plastic part of the hinge simply snapped because the handle was slightly going sideways. This is a clear design flaw. Bialetti first ignored us then, after insisting, right out refused to replace part of or the entire coffee pot. Bad service ! Pay attention to the hinge not to be partly plastic, because it will eventually break. I believe the Bialetti New Venus fixes that design flaw.
@@sO_RoNerY Sorry if you are so perfect and others are so flawed to handle something perfectly round and smooth. BTW "You used them all" ? Wow ! You must have broken so many to achieve that.
@@supalognon I have it since two years, but I didn't experience such problem. I had a different one before and it had some production fault. Maybe you were unlucky with your model.
I have the Bialetti Venus moka pot. I love the high quality coffee that it produces. I have found that, in its upper chamber, in the circumference crevice below the bottom of the upper chamber, some slightly thicker oil residue doesn't come out with rudimentary cleaning. Inserting some folded, pressed napkin or paper towel into that circumference crevice does remove some of the resudue. Do you know of a method or substance that will help to remove the almost invisible coffee oil residue from below the bottom surface of the Bialetti Venus Moka Pot 's upper chamber? Thank you. Hope to hear back from you.
Yeah if you want bitter coffee. You don't know how hot your water needs to be so you don't overly boil the beans where it brews too bitter and/or burnt. I recommend medium-low 3 1/2, slow blew. Use room temperature water instead so it's not too too hot or the temperature is under perfect Fahrenheit, because if so it'll be sour.
@@RockinEnabled , original isn't always best. And I understand that it was originally aluminum due to steel rationing in Italy at the time, though don't quote me on that. That said, the original way to use the aluminum Moka pot was to start with cold water, so wouldn't it make sense to use a different method for a different material? This is all just speculation on my end, not argumentation.
@@rabiesbiter5681 starting with hot water creates too much steam pressure initially, which results in overheated coffee shooting out of the nozzle violently.
@@guguigugu lots of videos say to start with hot water, for better taste. In my experience room temperature water, and low fire, let the column of water rise and flow smoothly through the bed of coffee.
