Electric Bialetti espresso machine vibrates excessively on the countertop during brewing.

Safety first: Unplug the machine before turning it over or inspecting the base.

• Check rubber feet: Ensure all feet are present and intact. Replace missing or hardened feet with suitable rubber pads.
• Stabilize surface: Place the machine on a solid, level surface. Avoid hollow countertops that amplify vibration.
• Add anti-vibration mat: Use a thin rubber or silicone mat under the machine to absorb vibration.
• Inspect internal mounts (advanced): Open the base and verify that the pump and boiler are securely mounted and that any internal ballast is not loose.

Excessive vibration can shorten component life; address mounting and support issues promptly.
