Thanks to @TommyGun for mentioning it.
CamelCamelCamel.
Yes
even induction ….
Thanks Gents, bought to upgrade from the 3 cup.
I have this, very happy with it.
Caddy holds about 28g of coffee. Produces about 230mL of brewed coffee.
I make two (strong) coffees with one brew, which I turn into long blacks by adding water.
Works on all hubs (gas, induction, etc).
Makes 230ml in one batch ? What do they mean by 6 cups?
Or do you have the 2 cup version ?
espresso cups, 30-40 ml
Thanks
Long black drinker here as well… the rule is with Bialetti, always use 3 increments.
3 cups = 1 cup of long black
6 cups = 2 cups of long black
I have the 10 cup and I can not seem to get it to use ALL the water in the bottom. It is as tho I can't get it hot enough or something using my gas stovetop. Have you experienced this at all?
Yeah Induction works best on these.
You don't want it to use all the water. Some should remain to avoid burning out the bottom. This is by design
Caddy holds about 28g of coffee. Produces about 230mL
That is 4 cups of weak espresso at best. (60ml 7g each) .
How on earth can they call 28g "6 cups" worth? Maybe you had the divider platform in for a half dose??
As long as there's a tiny bit of truth to it, no matter how thinly stretched, they can happily lie to your face and call it Marketing.
In this case, it appears the advertising were referring to espresso cups for hummingbirds.
If you're not a hummingbird, your experience may differ.
Such mistruths are already successfully used in before/after photos, TV/monitor sizing and every burger menu board in the world.
This is more just a difference in culture. All the Bialettis are like this and I think they just have a different idea of "cups". It's not saying they're 6 metric cups or 6 shots.
@Wolfenstein98k: Fair point and I get this, but if you have seen the cups they bundle with the other versions of this model, they are not tiny thimble cups.
TV/monitor sizing
You are showing our age there. It has not been true for decades - the era of inches and CRTs.
A 60" flat-screen TV really is 60" diagonal.
@bargaino: Mate, someone mentioned null modem in another post, and i knew what they were talking about.
OzB keeps me grounded.
It's six espresso cups. Pretty simple notion really
It must be nice to have everything seem so black and white, and not see the problems. Like 4.6g of coffee per "cup".
I don't think calling it 6 "cups" is really that far off. If you consider that the very common Nespresso pods hold about 5 grams of coffee; they get to call 5 grams an espresso.
Wow, I did not realise they were that small. Another reason to never buy pods. You'd need 3 or 4 to make a standard cafe-style cappuccino, which I'm told uses 16-20g.
230 mL out of 28g isn't espresso. Sounds like a yummy long black. For espresso, you'd get 56g of coffee out of 28g of grounds.
Would this be overkill for camp coffee? Can anyone recommend this or anything similar to make coffee while camping?
Perfect for camp coffee. Especially if you bring your favourite grind with you.
Not overkill, plus since stainless steel it travels well - i have the smaller one
Not overkill at all. I've never been able to get a nice drop out of a moka pot though - I'm a huge fan of the Aeropress for camping (the flow control attachment makes life a LOT easier!!)
Depends how many people it's for. But yes, great for camping.
This is a good option but requires some technique to make decent coffee. I’d also recommend the aeropress, with an additional metal filter attachment if you don’t want to worry about paper filters. Very easy to consistently brew good coffee with it.
I use this one when I go "car camping" on a little gas burner. Works great
I think it needs to be mentioned, this uses 6 expressos worth of grind you CAN'T USE LESS. The action that it uses to produce coffee must be filled to work, so if you only had one or two persons, this is probably inappropriate.
The four-cup Azzuri blue is $44.81 (click on 4 tassen). I have it, and it is a thing of beauty. I usually just woof the entire brew in one go (and have been known to do the same with a sixer).
Where are these made?
China.
Usually the ones that are made in Italy have it on the middle section or it is proudly and boldly mentioned on the box.
Personally I would rather this one which is made in Italy and not much more!:

Only thing to note is that it doesnt work with induction cooktops.
But you can get a cheap induction plate if you need it.
people saying not to get the aluminum made ones…i cancelled my order because of this but now i dont know.
I've avoided the aluminum ones in general due to aluminium leaching - tribal knowledge.
How much of an impact it is who knows… but safer to avoid altogether.
Very happy with my Stainless Steel model
@owwreally: I have both, and the aluminium pot performs better. Aluminium conducts heat better so it's quicker to brew.
There are no health concerns with aluminium coffee pots, only paranoia and misinformation. Well done on adding to that.
Likely China, but it is stainless steel, better than Italian made from aluminum….
Each to their own, i prefer the aluminium italian ones.
yeah, I have both, I prefer the aluminum one
Is it okay to make less (e.g. 1-2 cups) as that's all I'll need moat weekdays until we have guests on weekends.
Moka pots are only really good at making a fixed amount of coffee. I put any excess in the fridge for ice coffees.
Thanks for sharing! These steel ones are so much better than aluminium ones which make coffee taste bad.
What? This is completely false.
The 10 cup stainless steel for induction is also on sale at $69.82
Had a few which I bought from ikea. Used one and gave the rest as gifts to friends. End up thrown the one I used to the bin after several months, as the water container part scaled and developed rust.
Love the result though.
Thinking about buying the aluminum one, but feeling a bit uneasy to open my wallet lately
I used to have that problem with the (not inexpensive) Avanti branded ones from DJs. The genuine stainless Bialettis shouldn't do that (and actually even $15 Kmart ones don't either). But it is always a good idea to empty the residual water and coffee grounds as soon as the pot is cool enough to handle.
I've had an Avanti Art Deco for over 10 years and still going strong without any rust or scaling issues.
Can anyone recommend or advise if they use additional paper filter on top of the coffee and whether this improves the extraction?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfDLoIvb0w4
James Hoffman's technique uses a paper filter from an AeroPress, and I can confirm it makes a cleaner cup of coffee. Give it a go if you have them, but it's not necessary
Thank you
Damn that's cheap, I recently bought the 4 cup for $56 and it's been a great piece. Used daily. Sad a 6 cup would have been better for our usage. Ah well.
Hi, Sorry for noob question for those who owns this: Which coffee brand/type i could buy from local supers to use this? or do i need to get a specific grounded coffee from a specialist?
If you pair this with a decent burr grinder and buy freshly roasted whole beans, you'll get nicer coffee over buying pre-ground. I usually grab 500g of whatever bean is on special on ozbargain and freeze half.
You should buy your own grinder, preground coffee will be too fine for a moka pot.
Then you can use any supermarket beans you like.
I suggest the Timemore hand grinder for value for money, available on aliexpress
I use the Timemore too, it comfortably fills a 4 cup in a single grind, but it might require a second grind for a 6 cup.
I use the Timemore c3 and moka pot to make coffee. I enjoy the coffee I made at home more than the one I buy at most coffee shops.
If you have to avoid buying a grinder, a lot of coffee stores online give you the option to buy pre-ground in various grind sizes: look for the "stovetop" option
Thanks all, looking for timemore grinder now - i reckon by the time i will get around it - i could have bought entery level expresso machine..lol
Thank you. This or the c3?
I forgot about the C3. I haven't used it personally but it's only another $12 as listed below for a substantial upgrade (all metal Construction, upgraded Burrs, etc)

@Philthy Phill: Thank you :) Tbh, i was hoping to pick up a coffee bag from supers shelf and off we go but i guess i should grab one of these.
Any ideas for items to add to qualify for free shipping? No international items on my watchlist…
I gave up and finally used my free prime trial, free shipping!
May be a silly question as no one else has mentioned but when I go to the Amazon link it says "the item doesn't ship to my location" ( assuming as it's Amazon DE)- how do you get around this?
Maybe try search it on amazon instead of using the link? Not quite sure, but it might work.
Can I use this on a gas hob?
