Stainless steel moka pot with a crema valve for espresso-like crema

The Bialetti Kitty, Musa and Venus are all moka pots and are made of stainless steel, unlike the majority of their range. I own a Bialetti Venus 6-cup and would recommend it highly.

Why do you want to produce crema? Crema tastes quiet terrible if you have ever separated it from an espresso and consumed it.

With that said I don't believe you could ever produce true crema with a Moka pot because you simply can't build enough pressure up to emulsify the insoluble oils in the coffee.

Hope this helps!

My wife and I moved to our new house and we have an induction hob installed there.

We used our brikka(s) a lot and loved the results.

We bought a 4 cup musa for the time being but compared to the brikka it tasted like fermented horse urine.

So I decided to experiment: Apparently the head from our 2 cup brikka fits the bottom of the 4 cup musa. It worked! The results are fantastic. I am going to purchase a 6 cups musa and see if it fits our 4 cup brikka.

The thread on the musa is a bit longer but it doesn't matter: just screw it hard until it locks to put pressure on the seal.

Use just the boiler tank from the musa and all the rest from the brikka as the coffee funnel filter of the musa doesn't have a rubber seal needed for the higher pressure. Don't put too much water (fill the amount that matches the head. Not the tank)

Good luck!

It seems you can just use the stainless steel bottom with Brikka. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtu9GLXuMf0
