Crafted with precision and innovation, this coffee maker delivers rich and flavourful espresso that will transport you to the vibrant streets of Italy. Whether you are a seasoned barista or a coffee lover looking to upgrade your morning routine, the Bialetti Brikka Espresso Maker is here to satisfy your caffeine cravings.
Understanding Bialetti Cup Sizes: Bialetti coffee makers have a cup size label, which might be confusing for Australians who are used to regular coffee measurements. In this case, a "cup" isn't the usual 250ml coffee cup; it's more like an espresso shot in size.
Key Features:
Advanced Brewing Technology: The Brikka Espresso Maker features a patented integrated pressure valve that precisely regulates water pressure, ensuring that your coffee is rich in flavour without being too strong or weak. This system produces a thick crema with fewer visible bubbles for a smooth espresso experience.
Open Lid Design for Creamy Espresso: The unique lid design includes an open hole that allows air to swirl above the brewing coffee, forming velvety cream. This cream, a mark of quality espresso, results from coffee oils trapping air to create a smooth, rich layer on top.
Cup Capacities: The 2 Cup Brikka has a 100ml boiler and brews up to 70ml of espresso. The brewing process takes less than five minutes.
Quality Construction: Made from a durable aluminium alloy, this coffee maker is both beautiful and built to last. The acrylic handle and lid knob stay cool to the touch for safe handling even when the coffee maker is hot.
Easy to Use and Clean: Brewing your favorite espresso is simple, just fill the bottom chamber with water, add ground coffee, and let the Brikka work its magic. For cleaning, we recommend using warm water and soap, but avoid using the dishwasher or steel wool to maintain its longevity.
The latest design includes an opening in the lid that allows condensation to escape, ensuring no water dilutes your espresso. Simple yet ingenious.
Elegant Design: The Bialetti Brikka Espresso Maker combines functionality with style. With its sleek design, polished aluminium body, and distinctive Bialetti logo, this espresso maker is a stylish addition to any kitchen countertop.

Before using for the first time
Wash all the parts in warm water before using the first time.
We recommended that you throw away the first 2-3 brews.
Do not use the handle while unscrewing, as this can cause the handle to break.
How to use Bialetti Coffee Makers
Bialetti aluminium and stainless steel stovetop coffeemakers work on a pressure based system.
1. Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, unscrew the top from the base.
2. Remove the funnel from the base. Then remove the filter plate and the ring seal.
3. Wash all parts in warm water and correctly reassemble the top section.
4. 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.
5. Insert the funnel.
6. Loosely fill the funnel with your favourite espresso ground coffee, do not tamp the coffee down. Remove any coffee grounds on the edge of the funnel.
7. Screw the top section firmly to the base. Avoid using the handle for leverage.
8. Place the coffeemaker on low to medium heat. When using gas, adjust the flame so it does not extend up the pot's side.
9. It takes only 3 - 6 minutes, depending on the size of the coffeemaker and the heat intensity, until it’s ready to serve.
10. Remove immediately from the heat once the coffee pot is 85%. Do not allow it to boil; do not put it on full heat, as this may cause the coffee to taste burnt.
Cleaning
When cool, separate the top section from the base, wash in warm water and dry thoroughly.
It’s best not to use detergent when washing the aluminium models as it can taint the aluminium and, therefore, the coffee. However, a mild detergent can be used to clean the stainless steel models if you prefer, and a liquid chrome polish can be used to keep the stainless steel looking new.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive products, as these will discolour or damage the pot's surface and parts.
Periodically clean the column’s insides, ensuring no build-up of coffee residues.
Do not reassemble until all parts are completely dry to avoid oxidation
Bialetti stovetop espresso makers are not dishwasher safe; they are only cleaned by hand.
All Bialetti stovetop espresso makers are suitable for gas, electric and ceramic hobs.
