Very nice looking. Makes good coffee.
I see some people get upset that it doesn��t stay bright and shiny. I��m just fine with something looking like it��s getting plenty of use like anything you put on the stove it will discolor at the lower portion and that��s just fine. I want to coffee not a show room. Once we found the right grind using a bird grinder, we started brewing, strong shots and adding hot water to make Americanos using a kettle that can be dialed in to 150�� a really nice combo alternately we might��ve bought the larger size if we had thought it through a bit more but the Americanos taste great again with the right grind.
The finish and quality is excellent. Definitely recommended.
This was a gift for my friend, who loves coffee. And he loves it.
Got so tired to the leaking from the Bialetti, that I took a chance and ordered this one. So much better, so far, and contains reducer plate, which Bialetti was missing. However, the original Bialettis, as mentioned in my review...the original 20-yr. old+ ones have much sturdier baskets and reducer plate. . .whereas these newer ones, I suspect are tinny -thin and do not have magnetic properties...I suspect they may be just aluminum. However, it was good to not see sputtering between the top and bottom components, such as was happening with the Bialetti, no matter how tightly they were screwed. Problem now is what to do with the Bialetti, since Amazon gave me a credit for my aggravation, did not want it returned, and I purchased this one, which is functioning as it should on a NuWave induction burner.
