Hi all.
Longer time lurker, first time poster.
Here's the situation I'm looking for advice/opinions on a new stovetop moka that works on induction.
Previous to having induction I used Bialetti Brikka on gas (https://www.bialetti.com/coffee/stov...-c-1_7_24.html), which i loved. Loved the crema (I know it's not a true crema), loved the way it brewed and loved the way it tasted. When we upgraded our kitchen and went induction, I purchased the Bialetti Venus (https://www.bialetti.com/coffee/stov...-c-1_7_21.html). Although I have never been satisfied with the brew I get from the venus and have ongoing issues with the pressure valve not working properly. I've hit up the retailer for a replacement because of the valve issues,but now I am looking for some different options. I have spent some time reading previous posts and reviews (this one being my favourite https://coffeesnobs.com.au/brewing-e...ess-steel.html), but still after e advice.
There are other options I have found: Bialetti moka induction, bialleti kitty and venus https://www.bialetti.com/coffee/stov...-c-1_7_21.html (just different shapes right?), but unsure of what the differences are and if it will do a different brew:
One good option looks like the Bellman cx25p but it shows to use induction must be suitable for 304 grade stainless. My cooktop I am unsure is suitable (https://www.winningappliances.com.au...ions-Sheet.pdf). I realise you can purchase the compatible induction cooker separately, but if I did that, I may as well just buy a small gas cooker and go back to the brikka... which is of course an option, just not my ideal one.
The other possibility, which I have read about once, but unsure if it will work, is using the a SS base, with a brikka top... the issue is figuring what sizes will match. Has anyone done this before?
Any other (not so expensive) options?
Many thanks.
