The main recommendations when choosing a coffee maker

When choosing a Bialetti device for making a coffee drink, you should be guided by the following parameters:

1. Volume. Before making a purchase, it is worth calculating how much on average each family member consumes cups of coffee at a time. So, the unit for one serving is suitable only for a person living alone. For a family of more than 3 people, an appliance is suitable for preparing from 4 to 10 cups of a drink at a time,
2. Taste preferences. It belongs to one of the most significant criteria, because no one wants to drink a tasteless drink. For example, if the soul lies with coffee with foam, then the acquisition of a classic device will be a meaningless event,
3. Convenience. If it is not difficult for you to independently install the appliance on a stove or connect it to an outlet for making coffee, it will be enough to purchase a more traditional device. If you want to automate this process as much as possible, you will need to pay and buy a device with a more complex design,
4. Price. The cost of classic type geyser coffee makers varies from 1,500 to 5,000 rubles, and the cost of electrical devices is in the range of 4,000- 6,500 rubles. Devices can not be called budgetary, while their cost is lower than the cost of full-fledged coffee machines.

Advantages and disadvantages

• a clean stove and coffee maker, as the contents remain inside the coffee pot,
• lack of coffee grounds in a cup,
• Affordable coffee maker
• a decent quality coffee drink comes out.

• coffee is brewed at full volume,
• difficulties in cleaning the filter,
• rapid wear of the gasket.

The specifics of making coffee

In order to get high-quality coffee, you need to adhere to technology and several rules of preparation. Ground coffee beans, for a geyser coffee machine, are larger than for the Turks, but slightly smaller than the grinding of the French press.

For cooking, it is better to use freshly ground grains and water with a temperature below room temperature.

The process of brewing coffee. for example, the Lavazza brand, occurs on low heat. But you need to get a little habit of properly removing it from the fire, since the water in the lower tank should completely boil. You can determine this with the help of sound or purchase a coffee maker with a transparent bulb. The taste of a coffee drink from a Bialetti geyser coffee machine is not inferior to the taste of coffee from a coffee machine, but you should not rely on thick foam or brewed espresso

Lineup of classic and electric coffee makers, features and cost

There are two types of geyser coffee makers: classic and electric; coffee makers are also distinguished by series and models, which differ not only in name, but also in the material of manufacture, volume and price.

Analysis of feedback on the operation and preparation of coffee

Among the many reviews of the Bialetti coffee maker, almost all are positive. Each user is satisfied with the quality of taste, as well as the pricing policy. Some geyser owners who previously used Turku are delighted that when boiling away coffee does not spill onto the stove, this fact is most often noticed by housewives and people with an active lifestyle.

As with any fixture, there were minor disadvantages of the coffee maker. So, several people noticed that when you do not remove the Bialetti Moka Express and Junior geyser coffee maker from the fire on time, the drink starts to be unpleasantly bitter, so the owners advise not to overstrain the coffee maker of the listed models on the stove in order to maintain a pleasant taste.

Pleasant moment is affordable price.

Different models with individual components, as well as a diverse price, can satisfy any customer and delight with freshly prepared coffee daily.

When did the Bialetti geyser coffee maker appear?

What do aluminum have in common with art deco style and coffee making? Of course, the bialetti geyser coffee maker. Bialetti today is not only geysers, but also drip coffee makers and even coffee machines, as well as dishes, spare parts, coffee accessories. But we are interested in products that made up the glory of the company and are still its pride.

In 1919, the Italian engineer Antonio Bialetti opened a workshop where he began to make small aluminum products for sale. But his engineering idea required implementation, and in 1933, Bialetti patented his own version of the coffee device percolator type. The idea was not new, but the Italian put all the parts in a single aluminum case and gave it a stylish octagonal shape. He was inspired by the then art-deco style. Bialetti called the Moka Express coffee maker. 85 years have passed, but this model is still produced and sold, and the design has not changed. You can buy the classic Moka Express in Russia.

The invention impressed with its availability and reliability. Mistresses appreciated him for the ease of care and the resemblance to classic coffee pots. Young people admired bold forms. All together paid tribute to the high quality of the finished drink, which was quickly prepared and did not stain the stove.

In the 21st century, the Vialetti geyser coffee machine is produced by the same family business. Although globalization makes itself felt - factories are located not only in Italy, but also in Romania, Turkey, India and China.

The logo and symbol of the brand is a mustachioed man in a wide-brimmed Italian hat, but not all Vialetti coffee makers have his image.

The Vialetti geyser coffee makers are listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most popular coffee pot in human history.

The principle of the geyser coffee maker

We wrote about geyser coffee makers and the principle of their work, but let's remember exactly how this appliance makes coffee.

The Bialetti geyser coffee machine consists of three parts: a lower tank, a ground coffee filter with a pipe and an upper tank with a spout and a hinged lid. The handle is usually attached to the upper tank.

How to make coffee in a geyser?

• Water is poured into the lower tank, its level should be lower than the emergency valve.
• A filter for ground coffee is installed on the bottom.
• Ground coffee is poured into it. The level of the powder should be just below the side of the filter.
• The upper part is screwed on and the coffee maker is put on fire.
• When heated, the water expands and rises to the filter.
• After wetting the coffee, the water is saturated with aroma and color, the extraction process takes place.
• The coffee goes up the tube even higher to the upper tank.
• Having reached the end of the pipe, coffee pours into the upper tank, like water in a fountain.
• When the lower tank is empty, you can remove the coffee maker from the fire - your coffee is ready.

Secrets of delicious coffee in a geyser coffee maker

The coffee in the geyser coffee machine is excellent in strength and aroma. Expect a geyser to brew you an espresso like a coffee machine, not worth it. But delicious, aromatic and strong coffee is guaranteed. In our personal ranking, the geyser confidently competes with the classical Turk. We will share the secrets of making good coffee in a geyser.

Coffee and water

The grinding should be large - larger than for the Turks, and only slightly finer than for the French press. If the powder is finely ground, then water will spill through it too quickly, the drink will turn out acidic and weak due to insufficient extraction.

It is better to take freshly ground coffee, and purified and cold water. It is not necessary to ram the coffee, otherwise the tablet will be too dense and water will pass through it poorly.

Before attaching the top, check for traces of powder on the thread.

Take coffee in full measure, even if you don’t drink the entire prepared volume. Purely technically it is possible to reduce the portion, but the taste will definitely suffer from this.

Coffee maker volume

The smallest Bialetti geyser coffee makers have a volume of 80 ml. The largest - 720 ml. Pay attention to the number of servings, which is indicated in the description of the coffee makers. Bialetti believes that a cup of espresso is 40 ml, so the inscription: “Volume - 6 cups” means that the coffee maker will prepare you 240 ml of excellent coffee.

The exception is the Mukka express coffee maker. It is equipped with a nozzle for whipping milk, so you can prepare a cappuccino in it, the standard portion of which is 110 ml. Therefore, the description of this model indicates the volume of “2 servings”, which should be read as 220 ml of the finished drink.
