The New Venus espresso maker with 4 cups is a modern version of the popular Venus stovetop coffee maker from Bialetti. As before, the new version is made from durable and rust-resistant stainless steel (Inox 18/10) with a polished finish and the characteristic soft, rounded lines. A new feature is the elegantly tapered design towards the top, along with a 20% increase in the wall thickness of the lower water chamber. Additionally, the interior of the water-carrying lower part has been sandblasted and electropolished. The lid's handle is now also made of stainless steel, instead of plastic as in the previous model. An ergonomically shaped and specially coated anti-slip handle provides noticeably more grip and safety when handling the New Venus. The drip-free spout, the distinctive Alfonso caricature embossing in the upper middle section, and the induction capability of the pot remain unchanged.
