Allegedly designing for a “Planned obsolescence” product. – Of the material thickness of the heater container. – Of the material type and thickness on the funnel. ![]() The design objectives were probably to redesign and reduce cost by:ġ. ![]() It is no more than a partial re-design of previous models and a marketing move. In general, my impression of the 2020 models is very disappointing. I would expect more decency and a lot more respect towards Espresso from an Italian company. It is surprising and disappointing that Bialetti uses these misleading phrases for its new Brikka Caffettiera, and not only. This graphics is BTW the same as was used in latest Brikka with weight system that has a black heater container. Moka is not Espresso and the crema this new pot produces is not significantly different from old Brikka, it dissipates after a short time, depends of course on the coffee that is being used. In another place of the box it is written in a very small letters “ The moka aroma, the espresso cream” It does not create 9 bar of pressure which is needed to produce Espresso, not to mention other parameters that are part of the Espresso formula. – Bialetti marketing strategy and the graphics of the box are misleading.īox indicates in English: “ THE ESPRESSO COFFEE” and in Italian: “ L’ESPRESSO COME AL BAR” (translation: “ ESPRESSO AS AT THE BAR”) in a very noticeable place while it is surely NOT a product that produces Espresso!

This manual is a very poor example of user experience. Maybe, but if it is, the graphics and its explanations are poorly presented and are not clear. Perhaps those figures represent the crema of the whole coffee output?ġ5 ml. I doubt those numbrs represent the crema of a standard 30 ml. Nothing is mentioned about it in the manual though.Ī 1:1 coffee to crema ratio? This sounds odd, unless the coffee consists high percentage of robusta and perhape some baking soda. (one shot)?Īnother guess is that the 15 ml. How come a 4 cup Brikka produces only 30 ml. in the cup.ġ5 ml.? How come a 2 cup Brikka produces only 15 ml. of water for the 2 cup model to produce 100 ml. The drawing (as I understand it) suggests it uses 120 ml. Heat-Resistant Handle – The acrylic handle and knob are hand-friendly, even when the aluminium is hot.Go figure out from the drawing how much coffee you’ll get? Two Sizes – Brew up to 60 ml with the 2 Cup model, or 140 ml with the 4 Cup.ĭurable Materials – The espresso maker features aluminium alloy to last a lifetime. Velvety Crema – The open lid enables coffee oils and air to interact and form golden crema. Pressure Valve System – Regulates pressure to produce balanced, rich coffee. This latest pressure valve on the Brikka ensures high and more consistent brew temperatures and pressure than the previous weighted model does, creating an even richer stovetop espresso experience. We suggest cleaning with warm water and soap, but advise against the dishwasher or using steel wool. The acrylic handle and lid knob are easy to handle, even when the device is very hot. The aluminium alloy espresso maker is durable and beautiful. With either size, the whole process takes less than five minutes. The 4 Cup Brikka has a 200 ml boiler and can brew closer to 160 ml of espresso. The 2 Cup Brikka has a boiler capacity of 100 ml and brews up to 70 ml of espresso. This cream is the result of coffee oils trapping air and is the mark of quality espresso. An open hole designed into the lid allows air to swirl above the brewing coffee to form velvety cream. As a result, this brews a thicker crema with fewer visible bubbles. The Bialetti Brikka’s are a new patented integrated Pressure valve and uses a system that regulates water pressure precisely to ensure that the coffee is rich in flavour, but not overpowering or weak. Steam some milk and you can make yourself a latte or flat white. This stovetop espresso maker requires only coffee, water, and a hot surface to brew delicious espresso.
