Title: Brikka does it! Crema and a great cup : )
Review: There's no reason for me to reiterate what all others have said. Just *read* the manual, *follow* the directions and you should be good to go... and very quickly, I might add.Be careful to not grind the coffee too finely. Stay at about, say, a little finer than the average pepper shaker - NOT powdery at all.Be careful to not let *any* grounds spill on to the filter's edge (or "sill"). Number one cause for bad coffee or problems in a Bialetti is a bad seal, so pack the filter w/ coffee with great care, and clean and maintain the unit very meticulously. If you do those things, it's nearly foolproof.
