Was ist das?

It's a screen (or a fancy sieve) that will separate your grinds. It has place for 2 screens inside (there are 15 screens available). You can select the aperture size of the screens. The top on is bigger than the second one. The idea is that your coarse grinds stay at the top, the ideal grind size is caught in the middle (these are the ones that you will use to brew) and the fines fall through. The idea is to create consistent grinds. Edited by Grebel

Has anyone had any experience with the Bialetti Brikka Moka Pot? 

 

Is it worth the premium over the regular Moka Pot to have a smidgeon of crema, and perhaps a slightly different brew?

 

I've also read some reviews indicating that the Brikka can be temperamental....coffee spraying everywhere and suchlike. Is this inherent in the design, or perhaps the users not using it properly?

This machine was hardly used at all and in great condition...

 

The bundle is going for R12000 negotiable...

I had an Oscar for two years. First 'proper' machine. I learnt a lot from it. Made some fine cups of coffee. If takes some work though. Sold it on to friends and they are loving it.

I have not used it specifically - BUT - I do use a Mokka pot from time to time - the one good thing about Bialetti is you can get spares for them in SA - luckily for me... because their seals fit my Italian off-brand one.

 

They work real well, but don't expect espresso, it's a touch different - you won't regret having a mokka pot - ever.
