Where is this coffee maker made? It always say made in Italy but when I get the package it says made in China.

I got a maker a couple of weeks ago, and I can confirm new models are still made in Italy, as stated both on the box and the maker itself.

The actual express maker is branded with Italy on the bottom so I would assume its made in Italy. Maybe the box is made in China?

the coffee maker has the following words engraved on the bottom of the pot . . . . "Bialetti" "Italy" "Since 1933" . . . but that does not define when it was actually made So the question of where it was actually manufacturered, perhaps in another country other than Italy...who knows???

Hi! Not sure it's made in Italy, altough the company uses italian know-how. This coffee machine is amazing!

Rest assured, the maker is made in Italy (this is clearly written on the maker itself). I myself do not buy cheaply-made low-quality products 'made in China' (and contribute to slave-labor, I might add!).

i am curious too; I cannot imagine it being made in italy for a price like this. I think the company is or was Italian at one time, but today many of our items, even with once USA name brands, are made overseas. I have a 6 cup Vev Vigano, and want a smaller one, and am thinking of going with this one.

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.

Italy...I have two of these. I take one with me when I travel, and brew two potswith Starbucks Houseblend, Medium Roast, on Espresso Fine grind every morning to get my motor started. Have tried all sorts of combinations with other Coffee Brands and Roasts, and this is my favorite. Enjoy...I wouldn't own a coffee maker made in China.

The outside of the box says: Developed and designed in Italy. Made in China. Bottom line: It's Made in China.

It says China on the bottom of my percolator. Sorry if that is a deal breaker for you. I can tell you that it is the best backcountry percolator I have purchased yet. It is really stout and doesn't tip over when you have to set up on the ground or a stump or whatever else is around. It aslo makes excellent coffee, I bought a separate one we use every morning at home. Hope this helps you.

I don't know. I don't have the box, and the juicer doesn't have a country of origin on the bottom. The Alessi website says that some items are made outside of Italy, but there's no specific info about the juicer. We use it daily and it's the best we've ever had-the motor is very powerful.

Yep, mine is made in Italy, too. The BEST investment so far! We've had it over a year now and love it more than the day we got it.

China, where everything comes from. :-) No, seriously, some are made in Italy, some in India, mine and one I purchased for a buddy was made in India.

Good idea. Kinda hard to follow through with avoiding Chinese products. This is a Swedish designed coffee machine made in ...... CHINA!! But works great.

I asked the Bialetti company (online) and they answered that all of their stainless products are made in China. Too bad! The stainless gives coffee a much better flavor than aluminum.

To be honest I bought mine through Amazon Warehouse as I could not find any "new" machines. I had bought one years ago through Starbucks and loved it (which is still going strong) Anyway I needed another expresso maker and could not find any as good as it at making the perfect shot. I am so glad I found one at the Warehouse for half the price as well!!!! I don't know if they make them now at all, but both of mine are made in Italy.

China, but I still am very happy with it. Nespresso's customer service is great. English speaking, reliable, friendly and professional. Also, they have post marked bags to return the pods, free of charge. Just fill them and drop in the mail.

It is "Made in china" as most of things now adays. I live in mexico and when I joined to de "nespresso club" here I was told my machine would get warranty.

It is made in Thailand, stainless steel, I heat with hot water before I put the coffee and it keeps it hot all day and then some. I highly recommend it.

In my box says made in India, bought it in Sep' 12.Mine has the filter shorter than regular, that is the reason others reviews says that is making less coffee. For me it worked well because I used as a spare part of a broken handle.

Definitely still made in Italy. I researched it thoroughly at time of purchase. Even gaskets are made in Italy and must be ordered from there. Great machine better than Alessi

Well, it's not a big surprise, they are made in China. But I love the mugs. They are of (surprisingly) great quality and hold a lot of coffee.
