Bialetti Venus Induction 'R' Stovetop 6 Cup Coffee Maker Copper

A stainless steel, quality product — this will last for years if it’s properly looked after. Proper coffee at last! It makes any kitchen look ‘hot’ — and you’ll be serving up the ‘coolest’ coffee! A small piece of advice — don’t tamp down the ground coffee in the filter — far too many of the social-media videos wrongly advise this. Follow Bialetti’s instructions and let the steaming water do its work! ‘Five out of five’ for functionality and design excellence.

Works perfectly and is the perfect size for everyday use. It’s very easy to use and just as easy to clean, which makes it super practical. No major complaints at all ... overall a great, reliable product that does exactly what it promises.

Would definitely recommend this for either gas (you might need a trivet - I did) or induction hobs. I've used it on both every day for the last month or so and it produces great coffee every time. I grind espresso beans very fine, do minimal tamping, then just pop it on the hob. It's definitely taken over from both my steel cafetiere and my old Gaggia Classic. I got the 6-cup version which makes just over one large mug of coffee. 'Cup' = thimble. Oh, not only does it make great coffee, it looks great too.

Quality product well made & easy to both use & clean very pleased with price also .

I moved to a home with induction hobs from one with gas hobs, so I had to change my Moka pot. I was a bit sceptical at the beginning because it looked like the pot was too small (4 cups) to be properly recognised by the hob's sensors. The hobs only stay on for a fraction of the time. While the instructions for the Moka pot recommended keeping the hob power to half, I personally keep it a bit higher. With my hobs, this only affects the time ratio of the hobs being on/off. I believe the power is always the same. After a little trial and error, I finally came to appreciate the quality of the pot, which makes a good cup of coffee.

Bought for my husband who loves a “proper cup of coffee”. A stainless steel, quality product — this will last for years if it’s properly looked after. We have an induction hob and it works really well. We followed Bialetti’s instructions and found it easy to use, easy to clean and overall a great coffee pot producing a great cup of coffee.

You can tell the quality just by picking it up, compared to other stainless steel moka pots. The threads screw together nicely and the basket fits perfectly. As someone that drinks a lot of coffee, this is the perfect size for me. I use a 12oz/350ml mug and can make a good strong americano or long black style drink. The stainless steel ones are much more durable as well, as you can use them on all stove types and wash them with soap and not have to worry about drying it after each use.

Honestly useless as an induction hob moka pot. I bought the smaller (4 cup) one, and as the diameter is so much smaller than the smallest induction ring diameter, it's already got quite a fragile connection with the hob. However, the real kicker is that the bottom of the pot left some kind of glue-like residue on the hob glass, meaning the connection starts ok, but then cuts out, before the coffee is more than half way filled up. My stove top is damaged by the residue which I can't now get off, and the useless moka pot can't be returned I guess as it's discoloured from being heated up. Pretty design, really poorly executed. Please, think carefully before buying as the build quality is really poor.
