Bialetti Moka Exclusive - Light Blue Light Blue / 6 Cup / 250ml

I bought this thinking it was induction, due to the title saying "moka express induction 6 Cup". Put it on the induction stove and the stove did not recognize it. Went to Myer to return it, the older member of staff told me that I should buy a induction plate and that I should have known it's not induction just by holding it. Even though I told them I used it once to test it and it did not work, was about 7 days from purchasing. (Also had issues with delivery). I finally got a refund when they accepted the advertising said induction and it WAS NOT. Myer quality and products have gone down.

I fell for the colour, so beautiful and it is the same in reality as it is on-line. However, there is no water limit benchmark inside, to start with, soI pour the allowable amount measuring in my other Bialetti. The inside is made of silicone, don’t know why. The worst is that my usual coffee, from a local Bridgehead cafe chain, even though ground for a stovetop espresso, boils over of the pot and scares me with the sound, considering that a previous (not Bialetti) pot exploded on me a few months ago and I threw out about 25 of them, keeping just 3 original Bialetti pots. The other Bialetti pots that I already had, never reacted negatively to a cafe-bough coffee grind. When I brew an original Italian coffee (espresso), though, of which I am not a big fan, the pink ... MoreI fell for the colour, so beautiful and it is the same in reality as it is on-line.

When I brew an original Italian coffee (espresso), though, of which I am not a big fan, the pink pot “behaves” and brews gently, no sediment left.I wanted to return a very pricy pink one, but had thrown out the packaging, never thinking that something like this would happen. Thank you.

I've never used one of these before. The instructions were clear and after about 4-5 uses it was seasoned and the taste is great. I am amazed at just how quick it is - 4-5 minutes from over the heat source to drinking! I have found that medium grind gives the best flavour. I use the grounds as fertiliser in the garden. As I become familiar with the process of using it I have found its use easy to incorporate into my kitchen routines.
