Bialetti Brikka Coffee Maker

My 4 cup Bialetti Brikka Coffee Maker is by far my favourite kitchen device. It’s a coffee maker that is cheap, reliable and easy to use but whose produce is second to none. The coffee is rich and strong without being bitter.

My Beloved Brikka
The coffee maker has a special valve which makes the coffee in high pressure. You use it be filling the lower section with water, then the middle section with Coffee Grounds. You screw on the top section tightly and put it on the stove for about 3 minutes. The pressure builds up inside the lower chamber and when ready is released at once with a loud hiss. The result: coffee similar to espresso with a beautiful layer of crème (coffee froth).



No messing around with learning how to use a complicated machine (not to mention the cleaning). The flavour IMO is better than what you would get at any coffee chain (and almost free) and better than what you could produce at home with even a fairly expensive espresso machine.

When making the coffee, keep three things in mind:

1. Measure the quantity of water precisely
2. Use coarsely ground coffee (Filter grind if buying packaged)
3. For best results, screw the top section on as tightly as you can
