Bialetti Venus Induction Copper

Made from stainless steel. The interior of the bottom chamber is unpolished stainless steel (it does not have a coating, rather it has been sandblasted to provide a matt finish).

The Venus Induction Copper colour is not traditional paint but a thin film of metal material bonded to the surface of the stainless steel using a technique called Physical Vapour Disposition (PVD). The result is a hard wearing and long lasting appearance. However please DO NOT put your Venus in the dishwasher as the harsh chemicals in dishwashing detergent's will damage the coloured surface.

Note: Do check your induction cooktop Manufacturer’s manual to confirm the diameter of the Bialetti pot base will correctly operate on your cooktop

Please note, the 2 cup is not induction capable.

*Approximate Brewed Coffee Volume - The actual volume of brewed coffee is dependent on the volume of water and the grind or type of coffee added to the pot prior to brewing.

Before First Use:

• Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, it’s a good idea to wash all the parts in hot water first.
• The Bialetti Venus is NOT dishwasher safe.
• We recommended that you throw away the first 3 brews.
• It’s really important that you don’t use the handle while unscrewing as this can cause the handle to break.

Making Coffee:

Watch the video on making stovetop espresso or see below...

1. Fill the base with water to just below the level of the safety valve.  Be careful not to overfill as the air in the space between the water and the coffee filter is what heats and forces the water up through the coffee. If the water tank is overfilled the result is boiled coffee, with a bitter or burnt taste.
2. Insert the funnel.
3. Loosely fill the funnel with your favourite ground coffee. (We recommend a medium-fine grind. Medium-fine will feel gritty when rubbed between your fingers, not powdery). 
4. Screw the top section firmly to the base. 
5. Place the coffeemaker on a low to medium heat. When using on gas adjust the flame so that it does not extend up the side of the pot.
6. It takes only 3 - 6 minutes, depending on the size of the coffeemaker and the intensity of heat, until it’s ready to serve.
7. Remove immediately from the heat once coffee pot is full.  Do not allow to boil and do not put on full heat as this may cause the coffee to have a burnt taste.
8. Dissemble and hand wash in warm water.
9. Periodically clean the internal sides of the column in the top part of the pot ensuring no build up of coffee residues.
10. Suitable for use on gas, electric, ceramic and induction hobs. Note: Do check your induction cooktop Manufacturer’s manual to confirm the diameter of the Bialetti pot base will correctly operate on your cooktop.
