Do you know if this product is made in China? I heard the Bialetti is now made there and the quality has changed.

My version was made in Italy. It is high quality. Keep in mind the one-cup is very small.

I don't know if it's made in China, but save yourselve some grief and get an actual Bialetti Moka pot, because this one is a poor substitute. I have both. This one holds less water than the same size Bialetti, and even less water ends up making coffee in the top half. The lid is also shaped such that the coffee bubbles over and spills when pouring. Makes a huge mess.

I am not sure... sorry. It is beautiful. I love mine! I try not to buy things made in China as well and to be honest I don't think this was... but I am not sure.

My china, which in my opinion is of poor quality, does not state its place of manufacture. I find that odd. The china is very susceptible to scratching from silverware and requires cleaning with bar keeper's friend. I also find that troubling.

Mine, bought on 2/15 and the 6 cup size, says "Made in Italy" on the ring below the Bialetti logo little man. It also says the same thing, stamped into the coffee holder. The stamp on the bottom of the pot is not fully readable. The bottom of the box has the following printed on it: "Developed and Designed In Italy" above "Made in Italy to Bialetti's quality standards" and the US bar code added label from Bradshaw International, Inc. also states 'MADE IN ITALY". I would say that anything in packaging or on the unit that says "Made in China" is a counterfeit and I would email both Bialetti and Bradshaw International to alert them to the counterfeit item and the source of purchase.

Apparently China was their # 1 customer until a false report re: a contamination was reported. I think China stopped buying at the time. I don't know whether that has changed or not. That may be why it is available to us now. I have been very satisfied with this product. I'm not a milk drinker but love it in coffee and make my yogurt with it and also use it in making bread.

It is/was made in China too, but you can get great quality out of China when you are willing to pay for it. China has become synomous with bad product, but they can make good product.

All available product is now made in India. It used to be sourced from Italy, but apparently no longer.

My advice: buy the Saeco Via Venezia. Made in Italy. Perfect! The Philips Poemia is made in China. I had to return it because it was faulty, leaking upon arrival. Желаю всего хороше;го. George

I went to the Bialetti web site which stated the company originated in Italy in 1919 and is still in business today. However, I couldn't find any mention of where the pots are actually manufactured.

Bialetti closed their operations in Milan and they are now being made in Romania. Same company different location. Very upsetting for the MADE IN ITALY label.

This machine is made in Italy....I ordered another with compressor and it WAS made in China. VERY poor quality, lots of plastic and the turn on knob was broken upon removal from packing material. This machine is fabulous. I have made at least 100 plus quarts and pints since purchase. We give as gifts to housewarming or hostess gifts for dinner parties. I have only one complaint it is about 45 lbs very heavy to lift. It was well worth the money not like any other machine out there. PERFECT ice cream/ gelato every time. A tip on vanilla. I use Nielsen-Massey Pure Vanilla Bean Paste. Takes that vanilla ice cream to a higher level. Just delicious.

They were originally made in Italy - not certain if they still are made there! I do know that they last forever!

I am pretty sure that it was made in China. I threw the box away but I'm pretty sure that is the case, unfortunately.

The Capresso machine that I bought and returned was made in China. I didn't return it because it was made in China but because it made truly terrible coffee. I also found the ergonomics, in other words user friendliness, to be equally wretched. It wouldn't be worth buying at one tenth of the exorbitant price they ask nor would I keep it if they gave me one.I hope that helps.

Ya know, it's funny. Just today I looked under my dog's tail and it said "Made in China" Well now I looked under the coffee pot and it said the same thing. My co-worker brought me a souvenir from Italy and on the bottom it said, "Made in China". I said "Thank you Vanessa, I never had anything made in China." Ya, it's hard to find anything that isn't made there.
