Hello! I found those 2 at goodwill for $8 and $6.
I always wanted to buy one but found them a little expensive for me but since bothe of these were $14 i thought might as well lol.

I tried cleaning bialetti as much as possible (the bottom looked like the bottom of the other one) but it still looks dirty.

Are they savable or should i just return them. Thank you!

Also any tips on how to make better coffee with these is appreciated haha! I’m based in the states and now sure what coffee to buy.

I never seen Irish coffee post here, no one drinks it? ☘️

Saw this video on facebook, and wonders How to achieve this stuff ?

Hope this gives more hope for Mini Express User

all the user said in the description of the video
"With correct setting and good coffee you can get a spectacular foam"

Sorry I started the video late 🤦‍♂️. I was wondering if the flow is looking right and if I’m removing from heat at the right time? Anyway here’s my 6 cup pot using 30g of beans I ground right before, roasted at my local roaster. They’re a medium bean. Taste is awesome! I’m loving the crema/foam these beans are giving.

Bonus question: I like making milk drinks and have an espresso machine to assist in that, but haven’t found exactly how I like my Moka Pot brew prepared. How do you milk-drink lovers prefer your drinks?

Just picked up a 3 cup Grosche Milano at HomeGoods for $19.99 but the valve looks very different from Bialetti's - is this how it's supposed to look? There is a sort of a hole with a screw thread that looks like it's supposed to have smth in it (it's not a through-hole as far as I can tell.). The pictures on Groschen site do seem to look somewhat similar but I couldn't find any with high enough resolution to be certain. The valve on my Bialetti looks distinctly different - i.e., no hole there at all. I just don't want it to blow up on me :p
