Score: 82/100
Elite Gourmet EC812
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Bialetti New Venus Induction Stovetop Coffee Maker is a 6-cup stainless-steel moka pot that works on all hob types, including induction, and brews espresso in about three minutes. Its small base may cause inconsistent induction heating and some users report leaks over time. Best for coffee enthusiasts who need an induction-compatible, durable moka pot for daily use.
The Elite Gourmet EC812 is an electric 12-cup percolator that brews quickly and includes keep-warm and safety features. Its non-insulated carafe and lack of programmable functions limit heat retention and convenience. Ideal for home or office users who prioritize speed and portability.

Professional reviewers commend the New Venus for its elegant design, 18/10 stainless-steel build, and upgraded 20 % thicker walls that improve heat retention. They highlight its full compatibility with gas, electric, ceramic and induction hobs, dishwasher safety, and the patented safety valve and drip-less spout as notable improvements over older models, while noting the small base may limit induction performance and the potential for long-term leaks.
Everyday users praise the pot for producing rich, café-quality espresso quickly, its large 6-cup capacity, and the durable, shiny stainless-steel finish that stays clean even with daily use. Common complaints focus on occasional leaks after a couple of years, marginal induction performance on some hobs due to the small base, and difficulty finding exact models or larger copper versions.
