Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I own three Bialetti moka pots (6 cup, 3 cup, and 1 cup). I've been using them exclusively to brew my morning coffee for the last two years. The 3 cup is the one I use most frequently, as it is enough to make two strong servings of coffee for me. The 1-cup is very tiny, tinier than I expected it would be. I use it for an afternoon pick-me-up because it's just enough to wake me up, but not enough to keep me up all night. I dilute the coffee with steamed milk. I've tried hot water, but didn't care for it as much. There are a lot of very informative reviews on this moka pot, so I'm not going to repeat what others have already stated regarding brewing techniques, cleaning, types of coffee beans, etc. There is a little bit of a technique to the brewing process, but don't be intimidated by some of the crazy videos online. It's not that hard and doesn't have to be as involved as some tutorials make it seem. I've used the moka pots on gas stoves and electric glass cooktops and it works perfectly on both. As others have said, make sure the handle is not directly over the heat or it will melt. One thing I didn't realize when I purchased my first moka pot (6-cup) was that you cannot brew half a pot. You have to fill the chamber up entirely with grounds or it won't work. That is why I ended up purchasing a smaller pot because the 6-cup was too much coffee for me to drink in one day. Bottom line: If you enjoy strong coffee and you're brewing for one person, I'd recommend the 3-cup. If you're brewing for two, get the 6-cup. You won't regret it!
