Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Great for camping
The Bialetti Moka Pot gives you an easy way to make coffee on a camping trip. It's made using extremely durable aluminum, allowing it to take quite a beating. It can be heated using a portable gas stove, so you won't need a separate water heater, but you should avoid setting it on a campfire, since the coffee won't turn out so great due to the uneven heat distribution.
Pro Makes very strong tasting coffee
This coffee maker can produce coffee with an exceptionally strong taste, which surpasses coffee made by any drip coffee maker, but falls slightly short of a true espresso. This taste is achieved thanks to the pot's design and the way the coffee is brewed.
Pro Very easy to clean
This coffee maker has a very simple design and can be easily disassembled and cleaned. You should only clean it by hand since it will get damaged inside a dishwasher.
Pro Great for people who want to skip the tedious steps of making coffee
This coffee maker uses a capsule system, which removes some of the required steps for making a delicious cup of coffee. You won't need to select beans or grind them, all you need to do is choose the capsule flavor, input one of the 6 preset settings on the touchscreen and pour a cup of coffee.
Pro Saves time when making coffee
This coffee maker uses a fast-heating thermoblock, which allows you to make coffee in 25 seconds and milk drinks in 40 seconds.
Pro Won't make you waste your milk
Some coffee makers have a milk container that can't be removed. Fortunately, this coffee maker has a removable milk carafe, allowing you to store the leftover milk in the fridge for later use.
Pro Can make a decent variety of drinks
You can choose between ristretto, espresso, lungo, cappuccino, and latte. You can also pour just hot milk or hot water for use with tea.
Cons
Con Have to be careful when using it on a cook top
The Bialetti Moka Pot's base is smaller than most burners found on kitchen cook tops. Because of this, the leftover heat causes the handle to get hot and can burn your hand, if you're not paying attention or aren't using a mitt.
Con More expensive in the long run
The Nespresso capsules cost more than buying high quality coffee beans in bulk. Over time the difference in price will considerably add up. While there are cheaper capsules available, none of them deliver the same taste as the Nespresso capsules.
Con Can only be used with capsules
You won't be able to use regular coffee with this coffee maker. This can be quite inconvenient if you ever forget to restock the capsules, since most stores don't sell them.
Con Can be difficult to position
This coffee maker has a short power cord (17.7"/45cm), which requires you to position it very close to an outlet. If there's no handy spot on the counter with an outlet nearby, you'll be forced to use an extension cord.
Con You can't make a latte without foam
This coffee maker has no setting for making a latte without foam. You can only choose between a small or a large amount of foam.
