Hi, trying to clear cupboard space, I'll only keep a couple of stainless steel ones of these, which I've started using again recently.
The ones below haven't been used in a while, apart from the 9 cup when in-laws are coming.
All are in good used condition, I've just gave them a clean, but they were in stored dry.
ALESSI Pina(s); "posh-er" 3 and 6 cups:
Not checked if they still do this Alessi model, but they feel of superior quality to the Bialettis, more weight, the boiler bottom screws nice to smoothly to the upper body. They were also much more expensive.
The small has small chip to the underside of the handle, only seen when you look under, I've glued it back with araldite (likely) and it hasn't moved. It's not "structural" anyway and hides the aluminium protrusion the handle is attached to.
Both have non plastic-i feel handle, may be bakelite.
BIALETTI; classic 9 and 12 cups
The 9 cup is a from the more recent production before they made the handles ugly, I guess 15/20 years old..
The 12 cups is proper old (in a nice way) . Like the Alessis, handle doesn't feel plastic.
The lot comes with spare replacement assorted rubber gaskets that suit all the sizes, except for the 6 cups but these are widely available.
What about
