Others say...
"Dangerous product!!" My 10 cup Venus almost killed me when the top blew off of the bottom tank just a second after I had checked if it was still brewing. I was about 3 feet from it when it exploded and sprayed coffee all over the kitchen. Had the range hood not been there it would have made a hole in the ceilings. It is more than obvious that the safety valve didn't do its job. And I put water for only about 2-3 espresso cups. Will definitely report the product as unsafe with CPSC. Update: I reported this with CPSC and to the local store when I returned it. Hopefully someone will do something about it. Was brave enough to keep the 4 cup Venus I purchased here and so far it has not tried to harm me! Actually I haven't had any probems with it so far, knock on wood. The problem with stove top espresso makers is the lack of crema, otherwise they make good espresso. "Good value" The one feature I especially like about this pot is its wide bottom. It's very stable and doesn't teeter on a gas burner like some others (i.e., the "Ilsa") do. The handle doesn't get burning hot like metal handles can. It has a straightforward design and is easy to disassemble and clean. I have been making stovetop espresso in pots like this for 15+ years and this is one of the most satisfactory pots I have had. A good value. "Great expresso maker" Use med.-low heat for gas and you are ready in 11 minutes. Make sure the stainless steel filter is always facing in the right direction or the expresso maker will leak. Be aware that they are talking about expresso cups (demitasse 2.5 oz cup) and not the savage sized coffee addicts cup we Americans are use to using. Also, most civilized people add milk at a ratio of 1:1, so if you make five demitasse cups of expresso (12.5 oz.), then your coffee maker should produce around 6 oz. of pure expresso. "Will need to buy another espresso machine ..." I bought this 4-cup Venus stainless steel Bialetti product after using a similar aluminum one that I loved in Italy. It does not perform as well. If you can wait 25 minutes for it to make you ONE cup of espresso (even though it says 4 cups, there's no way it would make that much), then this might be ok for you to buy it. I thought it would make at least 2 cups, but it doesn't. The water doesn't go all the way out of the bottom part, no matter how long you leave it for - after 25 minutes, you have one cup...I would take it back, but I can't be bothered. Will be buying another one for sure - maybe this time an automatic espresso maker.

What our customer's say! "Just what it is supposed to be", I appreciate a purchase that is exactly what it claims to be, and that is what the Bialetti Venus is. I understand that some connoisseurs dislike the coffee produced by stainless steel, but comparing coffee that comes out of this with that from an aluminum Bialetti, I find the Venus produces a less brash cuppa. It seems sturdy and I don't foresee replacing it for a very long time. Moreover, it looks great and brews fast. The best coffee-making tool I have owned. "poor performance", I have an aluminum model and I have not had any problems for years. I merely wanted an upgrade. I was skeptical of this model based on others reviews, and I received one of the bad ones. For whatever reason it just didn't work. Odd as there are minimal parts, and I checked for obvious clogs, etc. and there did not appear to be any. Perhaps it was the over pressure valve, etc. I went with another option instead, and wouldn't recommend this product, as I had to pay shipping 2x (initial and return) and it isn't worth rolling the dice. "Stainless espresso maker", We bought this for our Mom for Christmas. It was difficult to find a stainless steel espresso maker at retail stores, they were all aluminum. The design, looks and functionality are what we were hoping to find. The price was fantastic and our Mom is very pleased with it. She frequently uses it with her girlfriends so the 6 cup capacity is just what she was looking for. We like it so much we want one too. Great product, great price! "Makes great espresso, but...", The Bialetti espresso maker came on time, in its original Bialetti packaging and with all of the parts unbroken and without any dents or scratches. I love the look and style of this espresso maker. I have only used it a few times now and the biggest disappointment has been that it doesn't seal properly. Steam comes out of the sides while the water is heating no matter how tightly you close it. Even my husband couldn't get it closed well enough. Maybe it will take some time on this... The other small disappointment was that I thought it would make more espresso. I was hoping this could function as our coffee-maker (we like it really strong!) so it would have to make enough for two cups of coffee. It looks so large, but the looks are deceiving. While it does make just barely enough for the two of us, if we ever had guests, I would need to wait for it to cool and then make more or buy another one! Overall it makes yummy coffee and it looks super-cool, but if I had to do it over again, I would have bought the biggest one they make. "never had a seal", I got this as a present. I had used other cheaper modules of the same brand so I was very excited but the threads never matched up and it didnt seal enough to produce anything remotley like coffee let alone espresso. I was very disappointed that this one was so cheaply made that when I called the manufactures they said that becouse I had used it they wouldnt give me another one. I have had success with this manufacture in the past but beware they are hard to get a hold of and not very nice with there customer service.
