  • I have a slightly mysterious experience with my bialetti stove top coffee maker. Since moving in my new place which has the same type of gas hob as my previous place it just doesn’t make nice coffee anymore. The coffee comes out extremely slow and tasting non-descript. I have used several brands and in the past always preferred the standard Lidl coffee in the gold wrap (I know.. don’t kill me) but even that that doesn’t give me good results now. I thought it might have been the age of the coffee maker so I bought a new identical one and it gives me the same tepid coffee.

    Help me out, I am slowly getting used to the powdery Nescafé Azera crap!

  • How are you brewing it?
    Also, did you move a to a different area? Your tap water might be a different quality which is making it taste off. Try bottled water and see if that makes a difference (Tesco ashbeck water is good).

  • Will try that loved from se15 to Nw10 but tried using Britta

  • So bottled water seems to have done the trick and gave the filter a gentle rub. Now building up the oil with a couple of batches but hopefully that solves the mystery. Still not a big fan of the idea of buying bottled water though
