Nice review Matteo! I wonder if other companies will copy this filter design, or if similar replacement filters will fit other brands of Moka Pots. Maybe you could do a follow up video to see if this will work in your other Mokas, and if it improves their brew quality??? THANK YOU, Matteo!!
Thanks! Well E&B Lab already making the Competition filter, now Lavazza with the Pro filter. You can still fit both filters in both mokas, of course they need to be the same size. I'm planning to do a video comparison in between the E&B Lab Competition filter and The Lavazza Pro Filter. Compared to the classic moka Pot filters they are both superior
Add in the classic filter coupled with an Aeropress filter while you are at it. That’s what I’m currently doing with my Bialetti Moka Express. I’d like to know if that combination is as good as the E&B, or if the E&B is better.
@@coreycannon4511 1 aeropress filter is enough to avoid fine particles in the cup. it works well if you want a clean cup of coffee even with E&B lab. What you will miss with aeropress filter is a bit of mouthfeel because the paper absorb some coffee oils and this will reduce body. With E&B lab already you will have less fine particles so it will make a cleaner cup. I use Aeropress filters only with some specific coffees where I need an extra filtering system to make flavours shine even more. Otherwise I use just the E&B lab filter or the Lavazza Pro filter
have you also tried adding paper filter as usual? or do you think its a useless experimentation because the result will pretty much be the same like other mokapot with paper filter?
I actually did it in the past and the result is very good, becuase as I said in the video the filter create less resistance than the classic one so the paper add that resistance that is good to extend the contact time, giving a richer cup. And also cleaner!
I own this pot since 2 weeks, the extraction is very different from any moka pots I have and I still have to get used to it. I can say the result is more similar to Kamira than a moka pot. I get confused by the fact that this pot is induction compatible but they sell it with an induction plate in the kit, what is it for?
I was thinking the same about the induction plate. Then I noticed once while making coffee on induction hob that sometimes, because the moka is light, the induction hob didn't turn on. That probably depends on the brand of induction you have.
Ciao Matteo, ho la Pro da circa due anni (cioè, da quando è comparsa). Considera che io uso solo le Carmencita per il mio caffè a casa, ma quelle degli anni '80, cioè SOLO in acciaio. La mia conclusione è che anche questa Pro mi conferma che il mio caffè in moka preferito è sempre in acciaio. Stavo quasi pensando di togliere il suo innovativo filtro e metterlo in una Carmencita da tre in acciaio. Ma mi va bene anche con il filtro normale e ancora non "hackero" :) Fammi sapere se sei d'accordo con me. Un saluto
Io sono un fan dell'alluminio :) Per i caffé che usi il Pro filtro fa la differenza. Di solito bevo caffé tostati chiari con note fruttate. Alla fine io suggerisco di usare quello che piú ti piace. I gusti sono personali e non si possono giudicare
The Carmencita pro is actually aluminium with stainless steel base. The technology here is all in the Pro filter, that filter coffee way better than a classic Bialetti filter you find in the Venus
As much as I like your videos, in this video you are not making sense. Unfortunately whatever you are saying is wrong (and you know it). You are sounding like advertising for Bialetti. BTW I collect Bialetti products so I am going to buy it anyway.
@@matteofromtheswamps Hi Matteo, there is nothing wrong with advertising for Bialetti (You have to make the money somehow and I appreciate your videos very much). I have to rewatch the video and I will let you know why I think what I wrote on my previous post.
Just experienced the beauty of moka pot because of you and my life is changed for the better 😅 thx man!
Same 🖐️
Your comments make me so happy that you can't even imagine! 🙏
I love all the extra bits of info in addition to the review itself. Grazie, Matteo !
Hi Irina! Thanks for the comment. Yeah, I like to give a little bit of coffee pills in every video. Glad you enjoy it ! :)
Wow video has been released just 15 min ago, thx
I really like your channel, very helpful and very interesting.
Thank you so much, your feedback makes me happy
Thank you for a great video!
Thanks :)
Very nice review of this moka pot, which looks stunning. Would love to see your review of the Alessi pulcina as well ;-) Thanks Matteo
Thanks for the comment! And thanks for the suggestion. I put the Alessi Pulcina in the list of pot to get.

Ciao Matteo, la moka è utilizzabile anche su piano a gas oltre che induzione?
Sì sì. Io la uso sul gas, si può utilizzare anche con induzione, elettrico, vetro ceramica. Praticamente ovunque 🙂

Shame you haven't got a link that gives you a procent, because I am looking for a new, larger Mokka to use on the induction stove top I now have!
I'm not affiliate to any brand, that also gives me the possibility to be more honest and transparent on my reviews/videos
this or E&B Lab mokapot?
this moka pot with E&B Lab Filter 😂
I have both the 1cup and 3 cups e&b lab mokas, does the 3cup filter match carmencita?
@@leon930 Yes it does! In fact it's nice to make comparisons
Do you feel that this is a fingerprinty moka pot ? It tends to be a bit of an annoyance for me on other makers.
No, it's actually better than the classic shiny aluminium/stainless steel. The matte coating doesn't give clear fingerprint on the moka
looks like a 1 cup pot? to enjoy several at a time will take some time.
No, it's a 3 cups pot
Is this Moka available in the US?
As I say in the video, I don't see any way to buy it from the website, but if you contact them maybe they can give you an answer
How does it compare to Bialetti Venus wich is also stainless steel ?
I think that one has the "classic" filter so that would already make a difference.
The Carmencita pro is actually aluminium with stainless steel base. The technology here is all in the Pro filter, that filter coffee way better than a classic Bialetti filter you find in the Venus
I always used paper filter
That is a good filtration for better clarity :)
As a left-hander, this is not for me.
I do very much like the Bialetti induction moka pot: beautifully made, & suitable for all.
True! That is a very good point. With Bialetti you never go wrong
Can't believe that in 2024. some products still fail at universal design.

Wrong in which sense? Wait, when I advertise for Bialetti? 🤔

@@GQC104 But I don't get any money from Bialetti. Yes please let me know. I want to make sure I didn't say anything wrong. Thanks
Lavazza is not Bialetti lol
