- Coffee shops just lost my business!
- My choice after dinner coffee is a double shot espresso. After buying the 6 cup (demitasse) Musa, it not only goes well with my kitchen decor, but also produces the equivalent of two double shot espressos from your local mega-coffee shop.
With a splash of half an half and a teaspoon of sweetener, I have he same product in a simple package that costs three times less that the traditional espresso machine. Close enough, good enough. I'm happy! - 2008-10-24, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great espresso maker
- This one is way better than the Class model. The handle is very comfortable and it cleans-up much better than the Moka. The 10 cup makes 2 large cups for me- a nice wake-up in the morning. I recommend this one without reservation.

- Great Espresso!!
- This makes great espresso!! Here are a few tips to make a perfect cup of espresso: Remember to fill the water just below the safety valve. Too much water can prevent the valve from working properly. It's kinda like a pressure cooker. Too much water can cause problems.
Don't overfill the funnel with too much coffee. Too much coffee in the funnel can cause the coffee not to brew properly. I fill it just below the top edge of the funnel. Set your burner to medium or medium low and watch it carefully. Don't walk away because it can get ahead of you. Besides, watching the coffee brew is kinda cool ;) Keep working at it and you'll get the hang of it and pretty soon, you'll LOVE it! I use mine everyday and have had it for a few years now and I haven't had a single problem with it. Remember it is NOT the same espresso that you find at Starbucks. This makes traditional Italian espresso. - 2007-12-15, 6 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- not espresso
- Before buying the Musa, I used the Bialetti Moka Express for about 4 years and loved it. Then I bought the Musa, expecting the same perfection, but I was very disappointed. The Musa is more of a coffee maker than an espresso maker. True, it makes an amazing cup of coffee, but it is far too weak to be used in a cappuccino or latte. I found that I had to use twice as many shots to have the same potency as my old Moka Express which means a lot less room for steamed milk and less servings all around. If you don't mind the aluminum, get the Moka Express instead.
