I'm pleased with my Bialetti Venus 2 cup. Its well made and makes great coffee. The only thing to bear in mind is that if you using a gas hob you may need an adapter / reducer ring.

I have this and the 4-cup Venus too.
But the 2 cup always seemed to brew a slightly harsher cup of espresso despite taking the same care when grinding my coffee just before the brew.
I finally sussed out why.
Because this is a smaller unit compared to the 4 cup (and others I'm sure), the coffee basket sits just that bit closer to the heat source.
So I cut the heat used by 50-60% and it's now making the smoothest, richest cups of Jo.
Ironically it's just as hot to drink a before and it takes pretty much the same amount of time to brew. The only difference (other than the massive improvement in taste) being that the final sputtering is now a much more timid affair.
I can also feel the oils more when cleaning the basket which I take as an indication that it's not scorching and stripping the coffee during the brew.
Just a simple tweak in the process that made a huge difference to the final result with the 2 cup.

It's good quality, makes good coffee, for black or latte, easy to wash. Does'n erode as quick as the aluminium. Exactly what I expected. For me the 2 cups makes 1 cup.
Nice deal. I'm happy.

Good for One
I love the design of this espresso maker - it is very stylish. But I find it too small for 2 people, so I'm now going to buy the 4 cup size as well. Read more

Beware size info
Great product but beware sizing info. As a guide 1 & 2 cup = 1 UK tea mug of coffee. i.e these are measured in proper espresso sizes dor cups about the size of an egg cup !! Read more
