Bialetti Brikka

Anyone any idea if Bialetti have any intentions, ever, of manufacturing their aluminium Mokka Express stovetop in stainless steel? It would be brilliant, given the Mokkas ability to turn out a passable Espresso with a decent show of crema. You only have to put a little water in any aluminium pot, rub the surface a little and see the black residue that stains the water and which, according to the experts is a deadly poison.
I have often thought of buying one of these and seeing for myself this crema that it is lauded as being able to produce, but the thought of all that cast aluminium has always turned me off. I have, in the past, written to Bialetti and sugested that it would be a charitable act and save millions from poisoning if they could change the material from aluminium to stainless steel. But they have never even bothered to reply.
A shame really as they do produce other stovetop appliances in stainless steel. I wonder what other members think to this?
