Bialetti New Venus Induction Silver
Score: 82/100Rankings
The Presto 02811 Electric Percolator delivers fast one-cup-per-minute brewing with an automatic keep-warm function and a convenient ready-indicator light. Its capacity details can be confusing and it only accepts ground coffee, limiting flexibility. Best suited for users who value speed and simplicity in a compact electric percolator.
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.
