My fun-loving life as a stove-stop barista would have begun much earlier if Bialetti just said the following:
"When you see the crema, you're done!"
Sadly, it was in my third month of use before I accidentally discovered that the Bialetti Musa generates crema similar to that of espresso machines. When I saw that tan foam floating inside the upper chamber the first time, I cut the heat then. The taste was better than before. In the following weeks, I learned the best time to take the heat off was when crema production reached it peak.
Peak production in my Musa is when the crema sits on 50-60 percent of the espresso surface measured about two inches from the lid. Allowing the pot to continue brewing after this coverage is reached results in the crema disappearing and the taste degrading.
Although the crema surface coverage is not full, the Musa espresso taste is rich -- more so than many coffee shop machine brews I've had.
The failure to note the crema generation is my only complaint. Now, that I've learned it on my own, my low-tech Musa produces high-brow espresso.

Terrible Coffee ! ! !
If you want to drink mud then this is the pot for you.
A total waste of money ! ! ! I tossed this pot in the trash ! ! !
The ability of this pot to brew a good cup of coffee is non existent ! ! !
And, it is not my coffee brewing skills.
I use peaberry estate beans from Hawaii and burr grind the coffee beans fresh for each pot. And, have always had wonderful tasting coffee that was not bitter.
Unlike the coffee that has come out of this pot. Bitter doesn't even begin to describe this muddy brew.
The quality of the pot is first rate and that is the only reason I gave a rating of 1 star.

This is my second Bialetti stovetop percolator. I needed a bigger one because now I'm making coffee for two. This size is perfect for us, it makes exactly 2 half-cups of espresso. I top off my cup with milk, his with hot water = morning bliss.

When I ordered this Bialetti Espresso Coffee Maker I was sure I was getting one made in Italy. But (deceptive advertising?) the one I got was made in India... Is there any difference in the product? I own other sizes and can tell the difference. The difficult lid handle is one of them, plus the craftsmanship and finish are remarcably inferior. Yes, it makes good coffee, but now that is not the issue. All I can say is that I did not get what I bought. Why there was no disclosing of the product origin, but all you read makes you THINK you are getting a product made in Italy? I consider myself deceived.

Like everyone else I dislike the tab on the top to open this thing up, but you don't need to do it much. Overall it's a nice machine for what I was trying to accomplish: greater volume and stainless steel. It's puzzling to me that the vessel at the top holds so much more than the bottom, so it's hard to judge when it is done because the top will only be about 1/2 full and it doesn't make as much noise as my last espresso maker so sometimes I wait too long and other times there is still water in the bottom when I'm cleaning it. But when I get it right the espresso is very good and I am pretty pleased with this product. I hope this helps you. I was greatly helped in selecting this one from the reviews of others.
