The best Italian geyser coffee makers: rating of models, how to choose - Setafi

1 MOKA EXPRESS

The first place in the ranking of the best Italian geyser coffee makers goes to MOKA EXPRESS. The manufacturer has been selling this classic coffee maker since 1933. To date, this model is the best-selling among all Bialetti products. The coffee maker got its place thanks to a well-known brand, proven quality and a reasonable price. The model has a standard octahedron shape, and it is made of aluminum. That is why it can be used on gas and electric stoves, but not on induction. The MOKA EXPRESS line is quite diverse, which distinguishes it from its competitors. Models are available in four colors - black, silver, red and green, and the volume varies from 60 milliliters to almost 1 liter. The most popular coffee makers with a volume of 9 and 6 cups - 240 and 360 milliliters, as most buyers consume coffee little and often. Next in demand is the volume of 2/3 cups, the least in demand are large models for 12 and 18 cups.

2 MUKKA EXPRESS

The honorable second place in the top of the best Italian geyser coffee makers is occupied by MUKKA EXPRESS from the same Bialetti. The design of the coffee maker resembles the color of the Holstein cow breed - rounded shape, black base and handle, white print with black spots. This was done on purpose, because among all Bialetti products, the best cappuccino with airy milk foam is obtained in MUKKA EXPRESS.

To work with milk, the device has a special valve for foaming. If the valve is pressed and there is milk in the container, the coffee maker will prepare a cappuccino with lush foam. If not pressed, it will be regular coffee. Apart from the rounded shape, valve and "cow" design, the design is not much different from other models of geyser coffee makers.

3 BIALETTI VENUS

Bronze goes to another model of coffee makers from Bialetti - VENUS. The silver device differs from previous models in its elegance and sophistication, which is why it is perfect for any interior. The body of the structure is made of stainless steel. Among the additional advantages of the model, it is worth noting the handle, which was made unheated, a convenient lever for lifting the lid with your thumb, as well as compatibility with induction. Regarding the latter, this model is the best geyser coffee maker for induction cookers, but among of all, it takes third place, which it received due to the ratio of price, functionality and quality coffee.

4 BIALETTI KITTY

Exquisite Italian design, stainless steel case, non-heated handle - all this is about the fourth place in the top - Bialetti KITTY. As already mentioned, the model is distinguished by its design, which resembles the previous device - rounded, elegant and silver, suitable for any interior. Due to complaints from some customers that the handle is too close to the body and they often get burned, the company decided to bend it and set it further away. There is a convenient lever for the hinged lid. You can also wash the device in dishwashers, as it is made of stainless steel, not aluminum. Therefore, by the way, it is more reliable and durable. Of the shortcomings, only that the coffee maker is not suitable for induction cookers.

5 BIALETTI BRIKKA

A relatively new coffee maker from the Italian brand Bialetti - BRIKKA - is distinguished by its design and the ability to make coffee foam. The latter provides a special valve. The design is a mix of the classic octagonal top with a modern rounded bottom, the handle is located away from the case, so as not to get burned, a plastic lever for lifting the lid is applied on the side drawing. And now about the foam like on coffee from coffee machines - you won’t be able to make it in ordinary coffee makers, the pressure in the machines at which the drink is prepared is 6 times higher than in geyser coffee makers (9 bar against 1.5). But thanks to a special valve, the coffee in BRIKKA comes out under a higher pressure, which is why the foam appears. Like most of the company's products, the body of the device is made of aluminum. Bialetti BRIKKA is an excellent budget choice for coffee foam lovers.

6 PEPPITA G.A.T.

For a change in the ranking of geyser coffee makers in 2021, the G.A.T. PEPPITA. This Italian company is less popular in Russia and the CIS, but produces no less high-quality and stylish coffee products. The classic octagonal design, silver color and a cool handle, which is located at a sufficient distance from the body so as not to get burned, characterize this coffee maker. This model is perfect for a beginner coffee lover. The point is its low price, as well as high build quality and coffee.

7 BIALETTI DAMA GLAMOR

Bialetti DAMA GLAMOR will be a great gift for any coffee lover.

8 BIALETTI MOKA INDUCTION

The top is closed by another model from Bialetti - MOKA INDUCTION. Reading the rating, you could pay attention to the fact that not all geyser coffee makers are able to work on induction cookers. To solve this problem, Bialetti recently launched a coffee maker specifically for induction cookers. Traditionally, the top of the device has an octahedron shape and is made of aluminum to better retain heat. The lower one is made of magnetic steel and has a rounded shape. The handles that are far from the body are covered with silicone to reduce slipping in the hand. The model is available in colors: red, white, silver, golden, dark gray. In this case, only the color of the upper part changes, the lower part remains silver. Although MOKA INDUCTION is designed for induction cookers, it will also cope with other types.
