Using the Bialetti Venus Stovetop

To produce an authentic espresso in minutes, simply fill the bottom with water to just below the valve, add your favorite espresso ground coffee to the funnel and gently heat on your stovetop.

The Bialetti Venus is perfect for those who prefer a smoother coffee taste.

This pot is a simple, yet functional way of making great tasting coffee with a sleek contemporary design.

How to prepare coffee: fill the boiler up to the safety valve with water, insert the funnel tank and add the ground coffee for moka without pressing; close the moka pot and place it on the hob. Wait for coffee to gurgle as it rises to the collector (upper chamber), turn off the gas and, finally, enjoy your delicious coffee!
Cleaning instructions: the Bialetti Venus should only be rinsed with water after each use. Do not use detergents.

The stainless steel Moka Pot Bialetti Venus is an excellent companion for when you don’t have access to a kitchen, but it will also be great for making coffee at home. Unlike the classic aluminum Bialetti, the Venus series is made of high-quality stainless steel. Together with its design and functionality, this pot ranks among the best on the market.

How to prepare coffee in a Moka Pot?

Moka Pot consists of 3 parts. An upper container, lower container and a sieve in the middle.

The lower container is for water. Before cooking, heat it in a kettle (eg. Brewista 1l or Bonavita 1l kettle). After that insert a metal sieve into the lower part, into which you pour finely ground coffee. Screw on the upper container and place on the hob. As soon as the coffee starts to hiss, remove the pot from the hob and pour your perfect cup of coffee into your favorite cup.

1. Fill the base with water to just below the level of the safety valve.  Be careful not to overfill as the air in the space between the water and the coffee filter is what heats and forces the water up through the coffee. If the water tank is overfilled the result is boiled coffee, with a bitter or burnt taste.
2. Insert the funnel.
3. Loosely fill the funnel with your favorite ground coffee. (We recommend a medium-fine grind. Medium-fine will feel gritty when rubbed between your fingers, not powdery).
4. Screw the top section firmly to the base.
5. Place the coffeemaker on a low to medium heat. When using on gas adjust the flame so that it does not extend up the side of the pot.
6. It takes only 3 – 6 minutes, depending on the size of the coffeemaker and the intensity of heat, until it’s ready to serve.
7. Remove immediately from the heat once coffee pot is full.  Do not allow to boil and do not put on full heat as this may cause the coffee to have a burnt taste.
8. Dissemble and hand wash in warm water.
9. Periodically clean the internal sides of the column in the top part of the pot ensuring no buildup of coffee residues.
