Don't waste your money on the over-priced Bialetti
By M. D. Mastro
Bene Casa's 6-cup "cafetera," as they call these units in Spain, is an excellent substitute for the WAY over-priced Bialetti. Clearly some folks like the "charm" of being able to say that their "cafetera" was manufacture in Italy instead of China (wher Bene Casa's unit is made), but if the quality of the unit is equivalent, is it worth paying $20 extra for the name? I do not. This is all aluminum, just like Bialetti's, and all three disassembling parts join flawlessly. The espresso made is the same as that by Bialetti's and other "cafeteras." So, unless you have money to burn, buy the Bene Casa brand and you'll enjoy a quality unit that produces the same excellent espresso. Now, if I can only find a 12-cup unit by Bene Casa...

One Star is too high
By Sean P. Devoy
ONE STAR IS TOO HIGH.We purchased the 3 and the 6 cup models for XMAS Gifts.The 6 CUP leaks without ever even heating it. Just along the bottom edge at one of the corners, the casting is too thin!The 3 cup does not leak until you heat the water. It then sprays out steam along the main "seal" between the pots and all AROUND the pressure valve (not through it).I do so wish they had included in the product information that these are junk manufactured by the cheapest company in China. With this poor level of workmanship, who knows how many heavy metals are in it.Don't risk your health, buy a product from somewhere that has health and quality standards.

Stove Top Espresso Coffee Maker - Not Bad...
By G. Song
Got this in hopes to make my daily coffee (versus getting a typical coffeemaker).At first opening, everything seemed ok.Made my initial first pot and didn't know how high or low the gas stove was supposed to be to get the percolating action going.After figuring out the right temperature, it seemed fine enough... every now and then it would seem that I would have some water leftover in the bottom reservoir - not sure if that's normal or not.And as others have reported, recently I had this unit over the gas flame a little off center while washing the dishes and smelled burning plastic. Thank God I was in the kitchen and was able to prevent a fire!The handle melted somewhat but remained intact and I can still use the unit (now that I place the unit more off-centered so the handle is far away from the gas flames as possible). Instead of grabbing it by the handle I just have to use an over mitt and grip the unit from the top. Not ideal but still functional...
