Overview
A stovetop Moka pot from Bialetti's Brikka line, made of aluminum and sized to brew 2 espresso-style shots, about 3.4 ounces total, per use, with a valve design built to produce extra crema.
The Brikka's distinguishing feature is a weighted valve in the top chamber that Bialetti says produces thicker crema than a standard Moka pot, using the same fill-and-heat process, water in the base, ground coffee in the filter, brew on the stovetop, rather than any electric parts. It works directly on gas, electric and camping-stove burners, but induction cooktops need Bialetti's separate adaptor plate since aluminum alone will not heat on an induction surface.
- Brews 2 espresso-style shots, about 3.4 ounces
- Weighted valve built for extra crema
- Aluminum stovetop construction
- Induction needs a separate adaptor plate
Who it's for
Stovetop coffee drinkers who already like the Moka pot format and want more crema than a basic model produces, without buying an electric espresso machine. Induction-only kitchens need to budget for the separate adaptor plate, and anyone wanting more than 2 shots per brew should look elsewhere.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Produces thicker crema than a standard Moka pot per Bialetti
- Works on gas, electric and camping stoves without extra parts
- Compact, made in Europe by the original Moka pot maker
- Needs a separate adaptor plate for induction cooktops
- Only brews 2 shots, about 3.4 ounces, per use
- No reviews yet to confirm the crema claim in practice
Performance notes
Brewing happens the same way as any Moka pot: water in the bottom chamber turns to steam under stovetop heat and pushes up through the ground coffee in the filter basket, but the Brikka adds a weighted valve at the top that holds back pressure until it releases in a burst, which is what whips the extracted coffee into a thicker crema than a standard Moka pot produces. Aluminum construction heats and cools quickly on gas or electric burners, but needs the separate adaptor plate to work on induction.
