Bialetti Moka Mukka Express Caffettiera per Cappuccino Espresso Cremoso, Alluminio, Bianco, 2 tazze

Product Information

Yet you may sometimes find your Moka pot coffee tastes like burnt shit. There can be many reasons. But it Can be due to the following reasons: Now, thanks to my Bialetti Moka Pot, I prefer to make coffee at home. It just tastes so much better — it's ready in no time. In fact, more often than not these days, I'm disappointed by coffee shop offerings. Even if I'm heading out on a road trip, I brew my coffee before we leave and fill up my trusted reusable travel coffee mug. I also got the six-cup induction-capable version, which I use when friends or out-of-town guests visit. GH Lab tip: If guests or friends find the coffee too strong, serve up Americanos instead of espressos. It's as easy as adding a little boiling water to dilute the flavor. If you want that true espresso every morning with the cream and everything, then you have to buy the Brikka. It’s the only Bialetti coffeemaker of the two that has the espresso crema feature. Screw the upper part on the heater and tighten well, without pressing too much and avoiding to force the handle. The Brikka also features a pressure control system that adjusts the water flow pressure that reaches your coffee grounds. This enhances the flavor and creaminess of your espresso even more.

Using a spoon, mix the ingredients in the upper chamber, stirring the coffee layers to equalize them. Then you can pour and drink! What Is the Bialetti Moka? Using the Moka is about as convenient as the Brikka. First, you choose a coffee blend within Moka’s many options. Then you add the coffee grounds to the filter, but make sure you don’t press down on them. The coffee grounds will make a gutter that keeps dust from exiting the boiler’s edges and altering your coffee’s flavor.

The Moka will gurgle, which tells you that the coffee is ready. Turn off the flame at that point and safely remove your Moka from the stovetop. Bialetti again recommends stirring to get more of the full-bodied flavor from your Moka coffeemaker. Brikka vs. Moka: Similarities and Differences In addition to making the most delicious coffee ever, I love my little Bialetti Moka Pot because it's a superb sustainable choice: There are no paper filters or plastic pods, and the grinds can be placed directly in your countertop compost at home. And sustainable living is something that matters in my household. What is a Moka Pot? When it comes to speed, Brikka vs. Moka stats don’t lie. It takes roughly ten minutes to brew a cup of espresso in the classic Moka pot. Brikka is significantly faster, brewing a cup in under three minutes. The looks of the Brikka are a standout as well. This polished aluminum coffee machine boasts the octagonal shape that is the Bialetti trademark. The unique shape is for more than just brownie points, though. The Brikka is also masterful at heat diffusion so you smell the amazing aroma of brewing coffee and not the heat. Another huge plus with the Brikka over the Moka is that it extracts more caffeine out of the coffee grounds giving you a little extra boost.

Bialetti Brikka - Bialetti

Because of its older design, the Bialetti Moka pot is a bit fussy and hard to use. In addition, the learning curve, coupled with monitoring the stovetop brew, makes daily coffee brewing a chore. We’re sure you want to come to your own conclusions, which is why we’ll review first the Brikka and the Moka Pot coffee makers individually. Then we’ll compare their similarities and differences so you can find the best Bialetti coffeemaker for you! What Is the Bialetti Brikka? We know we’re splitting hairs here, but the brew times between the Brikka and the Moka are not identical, so we had to talk about it. The Moka brews coffee in four to five minutes while the Brikka brews in three to four minutes. The reason you get that minute faster brewing speed is due to the dual valve system and increased internal pressure of the Brikka. Sure, it has a few defects in its design, but so does Moka. All of the key differences boil down to one thing: Brikka gives espresso lovers better crema. It also makes great lattes, provides a more potent dose of caffeine, and the coffee isn’t as watery.Sometimes, low-quality coffee beans or stale coffee grounds also cause the bitterness of Moka pot coffee.

Using the Brikka is about as easy as can be. First, open the lower chamber and pour in cold water, stopping before the valve. Then add your funnel, running the ground espresso through the funnel. No coffee grounds should be on the edge of the funnel. There’s no real advantage to choosing the Moka over the Brikka or vice-versa if you care about coffeemaker capacity. Both can brew two, four, or more cups of coffee depending on the model. As a reminder, the coffeemakers we highlighted today produce up to four cups at a time.Bialetti felt no need to reinvent the wheel when it came to making the Brikka coffeemaker (yes, the Moka came first and is a long-time Bialetti staple). Looking at one coffee machine and then the other, you’d be hard-pressed to come up with differences between the two. The Bialetti brand is Italian, but not all their coffee machines are. Since the Moka is a long-standing part of the Bialetti family, as discussed, its origins are clear. You only have to look at your coffeemaker to see the “made in Italy” stamp right front and center. Because Brikka is the pot Bialetti created to improve his former invention, the Moka, there’s no contest. So, in the Brikka vs. Moka debate, I’d choose Brikka. Yet the Brikka doesn’t have the same feature. Do you want to know why? It’s not made in Italy, but Romania instead. The Brikka is still a Bialetti product, but it’s less authentically Italian than the Moka.

One of the many things that determines moka pot coffee’s taste is the level of heat. For instance, some people prefer a darker roast while others go for a lighter roast.The fact that Brikka allows you to enjoy café-quality coffee crema every time is what has made this coffee machine so beloved. Yet that’s not its only feature by far. Next, close the pot and put the collector onto the boiler by screwing the pieces on. Then place your Moka on either a gas or induction stovetop. The flame from the stovetop should be sizable enough that it covers the bottom of the coffeemaker but not the whole Moka machine. This prevents coffee bean extraction from happening too fast.
