I'm with Steve on this. I'd also recommend only using it on a heat source which you can switch off and cool quickly... these things get hot, and trying to pick them up when they are hot is not fun... the other option is to remove the cups and leave it to cough and splutter all over the place until it cools down...
they do look fun though.

And doesn't it take forever to cool down enough so that you can open it and start another brew.

I have been warned it seems. Good that I didn't buy one today. Thanks for the info.

Where do you get these things in Holland? I can only find the standard Bialetti and some others . . . btw, I got an electric moka pot for my b-day, works perfectly well in my opinion

They are available, but the trouble is that the wholesalers/distributors will only sell tham in boxes of 6 or 12. It doesn't sound like much, but for a small shops like ours, we will probably only ever sell one.

But if you want one I can look into the options. I guess the cost would also have to include postage to Enschede.

PM me if you are interested.

I bought one in Italy as a present and became very jealous after giving it away!
I wanted it back. I love the look of this baby! I was "allowed" to borrow it for the holiday's and the coffee is fine. After use you can pick it up at the plastic thingy and flush it with cold water so you can open it without burns.

In May I'll go back to Italy. If I see one I'll buy it!

They sell them in the passage of Den Haag as well.... and I think they sell them in Bella Italia (If I remembered the name correctly) on the Fahrenheitstraat (near by Koemans snackbar).

Don't know, I just happened to walk in last saturday. But the passage isn't that big

Next time I'm there I will check and post the name in this thread. Can take a week or so...

Next time I'll visit my parents I also will certainly go there.

Do they sell coffeestuff there? I thought it was only tea . . . and somehow I just don't like Simon Levelt very much.
