 Better on electric stoveSep 04, 2010
The first few weeks were great until I moved to an apt with gas stove. I ended up melting the gasket and the handle. It is now permanently unusable and my entire house ended up with melting rubber aroma. mmm goo~d. Not.
 Perfect!Aug 31, 2010
Love this! I only wish I'd gotten the next size up so I could make several drinks at a time.

 Great design, but the sizes are mistatedAug 28, 2010
This is a beautifully designed device, but the marketing people misdescribe it. They say the "3 cup" Moka makes three 2-ounce "cups" of coffee. It fact it makes very precisely two 2-ounce "cups," not three.
When you fill the water chamber to the top (just below the coffee chamber) it holds exactly six ounces of water. But the water stops coming out as coffee when the water level in the chamber drops below the funnel mouth. This is when the machine "burbles" as people say. Then you have two ounces of water still in the water chamber, and four ounces of (quite good) coffee in the coffee chamber. That is all the coffee you will get in one brew. Two 2-ounce "cups," not three.
The engineers designed a very precise two "cup" model. But then marketing said "Hey, this takes six ounces of water! Let's tell people it makes that much coffee!" It does not.

Great product, great coffeeAug 11, 2010
Many of the other reviews give specifics on why this is a superior way to make coffee and great tips, I recommend reading those. Especially this review: Follow these tips for a unique coffee, February 3, 2007
I just wanted add my 2 cents and say YES, this does make a good brew. If you are serious about coffee get this. If you don't care, then you probably are not reading this review anyway. I will say it might seem more difficult than drip, but it is not. French press makes a good brew too, but I think those makes an even better cup.
Bialetti Moka Express PercolatorAug 10, 2010
This unit works perfectly and brews an outstanding cup of strong expresso coffee. I would call it a 2 cup unit rather than 6 cup and is ideal for a single person or a couple.
