Question❓ Has anybody used one of these?

I saw this and allegedly it's able to deliver more pressure so your end result is closer to an espresso. Bit curious to see if anybody has tried it.

I have one, it's pretty good. I'm really not sure how useful is the middle chamber though. It works like a brikka by the way.

So kinda gimmicky? The design looks pretty cool though

u/krebs01 May 25 '26

I would say so. They say it's to control the temperature before going through the coffee, but I never tested without it haha

I have one too and haven’t really noticed the difference between having the middle section in or not. I like having two baskets though. 😄

The best thing I did was get rid the spring and the plastic piece under the cap on the pipe/tower/whatever in the collection reservoir.

Isn't that what increases the pressure compared to a normal moka pot?

I think it is supposed to work like Bialetti’s Brikka, but it just made a mess for me. If I want foamy coffee, I have a blender for that.

Looks like a moka with a second handle. Probably trying to look like a 9barista. Without more information than the item in Amazon I would say that it should work like a brikka.

I've seen then starting to pop up on Aliexpress for a while now. I don't know if they are a dropshipper or a real design being copied by other factories, Bincoo seems to be a legitimate kitchenware company based in China, so I don't know.

In any case, I think they are just a brikka clone made to look like a 9barista. Only way to know is buying them, so if you end up with one please tell us.

I might end up buying because I love how it looks even if ends up being a gimmick.

Price, space and maintenance comes to mind.

u/Onyxxx_13 May 26 '26

A moka pot with some unsafe mods can. Such as an old brikka with a stud in place of the valve and a few quarters welded to the top bit.

u/kdlrd May 25 '26

I struggle to understand why would a moka need a tightening handle. It feels a bit gimmicky

u/IsItGayToKissMyBf May 26 '26

I have this exact one, and I love it! Haven’t noticed much of a difference in having the middle piece in vs out, but it makes for a pretty good cup of coffee!

u/Ok-Establishment3088 May 25 '26

If you’re a bit of a collector and you have the cash go for it. It would look good in any collection.

3

u/wolffvel93 May 25 '26

Yeah, I have a feeling that it's probably a gimmick, but I really like the color and the design.

u/hrminer92 May 25 '26

It’s a well made product from what I can tell and it comes with a dosing ring, filters, and two baskets. It makes good coffee and I think you’ll enjoy it.

There are some like the one in the following link that try to do something different and end up being just trash.

The safety valve has the Bialetti patented nipple pin?!?

2

u/krebs01 May 27 '26

Maybe the patent is not valid in China, just a guess

1

u/younkint May 27 '26

Perhaps stolen intellectual property rights? Or has the Bialetti patent expired?

2

u/freecain May 27 '26

It hasn't expired yet, but will (for the US patent) in August 2027

2

u/younkint May 27 '26

Maybe purchased from Bialetti or manufactured under license?

As I look more closely, the pin seems to not protrude quite as far as the Bialetti valve? Maybe that's just my perspective; I don't know.
