Apologies, I wasn't trying to dismiss your listing, I was trying to help out anyone who was looking for one that would work with an induction hob. I think I struck gold with being in the right place at the right time when Lidl was trying to shift some old stock!
I know how these things get out of hand, I am up to three now after my recent Lidl purchase!!
I am very happy with the aluminum versions (which are apparently better because of the heat transfer properties of alu compared to SS) but I am changing hob soon and grabbed the SS version at a bargain price.

Not at all, I didn't take it in that way :)
Good to know what's around. The Lidle model you know looks very similar to the Bialetti Venus.
Re heat transfer, I read somewhere that when possible it's good to pre-boil the water before and I do that now. Supposed to reduce the time coffee is heated before water gets through it...

Wow! At that price my offering isn't very attractive!
Kind of based the price on half of what I found on eBay... didn't study in very much depth I admit.
For reference, here's an idea of the cost of the Alessi(s) new. What I remember paying for the large one at least, bought the small one in Italy and I think it was a bit cheaper (round 60 euros)

Anyway, sound like I should drop the price: £60 + postage?
