Thanks so much for this video! Last year I moved to a house that has an induction stovetop, which meant I had to get new pots and pans. I've been looking for a moka pot that would work for me, this video was very informative
Hi, thanks very much for sharing your unboxing and explaining very clear how to make a cup of coffee. I recently bought the same model as yours and I was wondering how to clean te bottom of upper body since it has a gap!!! Many thanks
Nice video! Have two questions! 1. Is any difference in flavor by using the stove or doing through induction? 2. Does it happen to you that after doing the coffee, there is still water in the moka pot? You got a new subscription! Thank you for your content.
Hi. No 1, I don’t think there is any difference. The difference is on how you brew your moka pot coffee and not what stove you use. 2 yes more often than not that is because o stop brewing when the flow starts “blonding’. If you want all the water to flow out put it back on the heat. 😊
Thank you. I am using the aero press and I'm ready to try the moka pot. This looks like very good quality. After watching this video I really feel that I can be successful in making a great cuppa.
I was planning to buy 2cups only but the sales agent told me that some induction can't detect venus 2cups, so im a bit hesitating to buy 4cups version since im the only one using it. my question is it possible to brew 2cups in 4cups venus? Say ill only put 90ml water and 9g coffee would that work?
Please, What are the advantages of the stainless steel coffee maker compared to the aluminum one ? Because I have the impression that the aluminum coffee maker is very versatile, And that the taste is often different (even when doing everything recommended) Maybe linox at least gives the same taste ? Thank you
Some say that the stainless does not change the taste, and aluminum does change the taste. I'm not sure how soluble each metal is, but I prefer the thickness and heft of the Venus model, so that's the one I have on order.
A few years ago I bought two Bialetti Venus Moka pots: a 4 cup and a 6 cup. I wanted stainless steel Moka pots. Both were made in China crap, I had to returned both. I didn't buy a Bialetti Moka pot again.
I’ve heard some people use filters because they drink it black and it yields a cleaner cup but if you plan to use it for a milk base drink, it’s unnecessary.
There is also research that has shown high consumption of unfiltered coffee to be linked to higher lipid blood levels which is linked to heart disease. A paper filter neutralized this risk so I try to filter when possible.
You're not supposed to use a filter with the moka pot. Bialetti says don't use a filter. A filter is not necessary if you follow Bialetti instructions by only using medium-fine ground coffee. Never use fine ground coffee in the moka pot. Most espresso is ground too fine for the moka pot. Only pre-ground espressos that are sold in Italian grocery stores are the correct medium-fine grind because all Italian households use the moka pot. The moka pot is designed to handle a certain amount of pressure, so if you create too much pressure by using fine grind coffee or packing the coffee or adding a filter or all of the above, the pressure valve might not work and your moka pot could even explode. Bialetti are the experts on the moka pot after 90 years of scientific design and testing, so email them with any questions.
I bought one and it seems mine cannot handle a filter... The valve will activate at the end... Water drops will appear on the valve... and the end cycle of the brew, the pressure is not even as strong as your moka pot when it ends... So I had to return it since they say I am not properly using the moka pot if I use a filter... Too bad I like the taste of the coffee brewed by the Venus compared to a generic one.
Hmm, shame. I think you might not have used it properly. The filter should be wet (dipped in water) and if there are leaks, wait for a video I will be publishing within the next month!
The Bialetti Brikka moka pot is designed to make crema, but other Bialetti moka pots are not designed to make crema. I have two Bialetti Venus moka pots, a 2 cup and a 4 cup. The 2 cup is my favorite. I use an electric stove on medium heat. I follow the traditional Italian way of making moka pot coffee since 1933, and the results are always good, never bitter. I don't use a paper filter. There's only one video on RU-vid that teaches the correct traditional Italian way of using the moka pot, search for "Annalisa J moka pot." Make sure you use coffee that's ground medium-fine. Most espressos are ground too fine for the moka pot. But the pre-ground espressos sold in Italian grocery stores will work in the moka pot because they're medium-fine. I use illy Classico Espresso.
Bialetti instructions say room temperature water, but many Italians use cold tap water. I use room temperature bottled or filtered water. Yes, you can use Venus on any stove: gas, electric, and induction.
@@marzsit9833 Not in Italy where the Bialetti moka pots were invented. They use tiny espresso cups that hold a 2 oz shot of coffee or espresso. If they want milk with it, like the Cafe con Leche in Spain, they fill a small 9 oz glass 3/4 full of hot milk then add the 2 oz shot of coffee.
