Product Description
Bialetti's Kitty espresso maker features a modern upscale design made of 18/10 stainless steel. Brew a nice cup of espresso with this Kitty espresso maker from Bialetti. With the exception of the heat-resistant bakelite handle, this stylish stove-top espresso maker is completely fabricated of stainless steel. The ergonomically designed handle has an extra wide reach, creating more distance between the body of the maker and your hand for safer handling while still allowing you to comfortably open and close the lid with the same hand. Suitable for use on gas, electric, and ceramic stove tops, it is even dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. Never use other contents besides coffee like teas, cacao powder, instant coffee or fine ground coffee as it will clog the filter plate. Bialetti is the world's most recognized and beloved Italian coffee company. Bialetti coffee makers have become iconic and has allowed millions of consumers to enjoy great Italian coffee that once was only available in cafes and restaurants. Bialetti's passion remains in making superb coffee simple. Makes 6 espresso cups, equaling approximately 12 fl. oz total.
How to make an espresso
- Fill the base with water to just below the level of the safety valve. Be careful not to overfill as the air in the space between the water and the coffee filter is what heats and forces the water up through the coffee. If the water tank is overfilled the result is boiled coffee, with a bitter or burnt taste.
- Insert the funnel.
- Loosely fill the funnel with espresso ground coffee, do not press coffee down.
- Screw the top section firmly to the base.
- Place the coffeemaker on a low to medium heat.
- When using on gas adjust the flame so that it does not extend up the side of the pot.
- It takes only 3 – 6 minutes, depending on the size of the coffeemaker and the intensity of heat, until it’s ready to serve.
- All Bialetti stovetop espresso makers are suitable for use on gas, electric and ceramic hobs. Venus is also suitable for induction.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
- the Pros: This is ALL STAINLESS STEEL. Someone wrote that the filter inside was aluminum, so I compared it to my old Bialetti aluminum filter, and I can tell you that it is STEEL. After a few weeks of use it is still as shiny as every other part of the assembly, and looks nothing like the dull aluminum of my older filters.
- There is almost no water left in the base after brewing - now that I have the right temperature setting on my stove. I make sure that the outside of the flames on my gas burner are on the outside ring of the Bialetti's base, and the coffee arrives quickly and the water boils through thoroughly.
- The pour is perfect. I worried that the rounded top would cause the pot to have a wide spill, but it has a narrow pour and fills my espresso cups nicely.
The cons: None so far. I've only owned it a few weeks, but so far I'm very happy. I think the stainless steel pot is more resistant to staining and blemishing, because it looks brand new after thirty or so uses.
Both Moka and Napoletana Coffee machines have been created with two different types of metal: Aluminium an steel. Which one's the best? Steel for sure. Why? Aluminium changes a bit the taste of the coffee while steel does not.
About coffee blends, italian ones are the best. We are not coffee producers but coffee blend makers. So in our blends you can find different kinds of coffee coming from all around the world and wonderfully blended together to give you different kind of coffee tastes. Of course it's impossible to achieve the same taste you would achieve if you make the same coffee in Italy. You don't have the same water and air you have in Italy. It sounds weird, I know, but that's how it goes. During the seventies, in our house in the country, my grandma was used to make coffee with the water coming from a tank under earth, there was no current water in the house at that time. My father, told me, nobody could make a better coffee...
Couple of other tips: When you buy a coffee machine, wash it with washing dishes soap to remove factory chemical substances inside and outside. After that, never wash it again. This is important. What I do is this. I make the first coffee and leave it inside the machine for a couple of days. Than I make another one and leave it inside for other 24 hrs. The third one made, is my starting point. You can rinse the coffee machine after use, mandatory without using any soap. In some coffee machines this technique will create a coffee layer in the internal part of the machine, that's our goal, especially if the coffee machine is made in aluminium.
I think you have enough information to make a great coffee and to enjoy your new Bialetti Coffee machine. Have fun!
Now - you will hear that making coffee with a moka pot is difficult. That coffee can be bitter, etc. Only once since I've gotten this did I screw up (the top was not screwed tightly so it burnt the coffee). But that was just once time If I can do it, anyone can. Just google and find some videos with advice and you'll be on your way. You will be so glad you did.

Es fuerte y resistente.
La recomiendo, muy contenta con la compra.
Wir haben zwar noch "normale" Herdplatten, aber da das Kännchen für alle Herdarten geeignet ist kann man Sie auch bedenkenlos in den Urlaub mitnehmen ohne Angst zu haben, dass man sie nicht benutzen kann.
Aussehen:
Also die kantigen Alukännchen haben ihren ganz eigenen Charme. Die runde Form der Kitty sieht sehr schick aus und passt daher besser zu einer modernen Einrichtung.
Handling:
Das Blech am Gewinde ist meiner Meinung nach etwas dünn oder irgendwie ein wenig schlechter verarbeitet. Daher verkantet sich die Kanne beim zuschrauben gerne mal. Das liegt dann daran, dass man von vornherein was schief ansetzt. Wenn man nach dem ansetzen einmal in die gegengesetzte Richtung (also wie beim Aufschrauben) dreht, richten sich die Teile ein wenig aus und das zusammenschrauben klappt problemlos.
Den Griff finde ich perfekt. Er ist sehr stabil und wenn das Kännchen mal ein wenig klemmt kann man damit ein wenig hebeln. Er wird auch nicht übermäßig warum und kann bedenkenlos angefasst werden. Bei anderen Kännchen hatte ich schon das Problem, dass beim ausgießen heißes Wasser am Griff entlang läuft, was mir bei der Kitty aber noch nie aufgefallen wäre bzw. passiert ist.
Da das Kännchen aus Edelstahl ist lässt es sich einfach super reinigen, hat man mal vergessen die Kanne nach Gebrauch auszuspülen, muss man sie einfach kurz in Wasser einweichen und alle Kaffeereste lassen sich mühelos abwischen.
Da wir sehr kalkhaltiges Wasser haben ist der untere Teil, in dem das Wasser erhitzt wird oft recht verkalkt. Da Edelstahl aber bekanntlich ja nicht all zu empfindlich ist, lässt dich die Kanne auch einfach mit Essig oder ähnlichem entkalken (ACHTUNG: Die Gummidichtung mag das natürlich absolut nicht, also vorher rausmachen!)
Espresso:
Ich finde den Geschmack richtig super, er ist kräftig, nicht bitter und kein bisschen mit dem von meinem alten Kännchen zu vergleichen.
Fazit:
Wenn man von dem Problem mit dem Gewinde einmal absieht ist an dem Kännchen nichts zu beanstanden. Ich besitze das Kännchen jetzt über einen Monat und es sieht aus wie am ersten Tag. Von mir gibt es ganz klar 5 Sterne und eine uneingeschränkte Weiterempfehlung.
Coffee tastes better, it fits perfectly while closed, looks better and it's easier to clean (I mean the stainless steel looks brand new after cleaning while aluminum looks tarnished and spotted).
All in all excellent product, recccomended.
