To settle this matter finally: this is neither mocha pot nor real espresso. The Brikka (and only the Brikka, not other pots of the Bialetti range, they have simple mocha pots as well) is an ingenious device of its own class. The coffee it produces tastes very different from that of a mocha pot and is very much closer to the taste of the same beans prepared with an espresso machine. Obviously, this doesn't make it a real espresso machine...

...but the least expensive espresso plus grinder combination you can buy starts at around five times the Brikka's price (USD 250, anything below that or any machine without a grinder is not fit for espresso, not even for starters). So, if you're not willing to buy into the USD 250-2,000 range, or need a handy appliance in your workplace, during travel or for any other reason, the Brikka is the best solution, way above the usual mocha pot in drink quality, for a price everyone can afford.

@monctonacadian sorry to say but the point of a moka brewer is to get very strong coffee, you won't get the perfect crema without filling it up, distrubing it even, finding the perfect temperature on your stove.

That video was just as exciting as watching water boil....
Yeah......Wait, What?
Is that a "cap" covering the spout where the espresso shoots out? I bought one of those brikkas but it didn't come with a cap - I have a feeling that is the secret to the crema. Do you know what it is called, did you buy it somewhere else?
Thanks! I just want to make a great drink!

Are you sure you bought a Brikka and not "just" another Bialetti? It's been a while since I bought mine, but the "cap" is what was special about the Brikka back then. Because of that "cap" the Brikka is able to make "fake" crema, since it'll create a higher brewing pressure than normal moka pots.
