what is the difference between the Brikka and the New Brikka?

The old Brikka uses a weighted valve on the output stem. The newer one does away with that and uses flow restriction to create the crema. It’s simpler and less fiddly.

Patented technology describes " new column with a silicon membrane". Does this mean that the water/coffee flows through a silicone column?

the New Brikka uses a flexible silicone valve/diaphgram of sorts whereas the old one used a hard inflexible nylon piece at the bottom of the upper valve system. Basically it's a silicone piece that looks like a plug that has a slit in it. So, yes, the water goes through the coffee then through the upper valve system starting from the silicone diaphram. This shouldn't be confused with the gasket around the filter on the bottom of the upper chamber. The silicone membrane is part of the upper valve (that center piece inside the upper chamber).

wondering how to blew creamer coffee from this pot? I had try many times but it is the same regular coffee , no creamer!

I have the new Brikka, every cup of coffee I make with it, using dark roast, I have got crema produced, I've used beans ground fine, and pre-ground coffee like Bustos and others, with the same crema results. I'm confused as to why some of you have failed to get crema. I don't do anything special, just take the coffee, and put it in the basket, I do not tamp the coffee, I gently tap the basket on the tube part against the counter which settles the coffee down a bit, I then add a bit more coffee in. I preheat the water in the base before I put the basket in, drop the basket in, then using a hot pad holder I screw the top onto the base and set it back on the stove with medium heat. Before I started tapping the basket I still got crema, so that's not the reason I'm getting it and some of you are not. I got the tip of tapping the basket from a YouTube video, it doesn't pack the coffee too tight like using a tamper. I have the 2 cup version, which I found that my AeroPress filters fit perfectly between the screen and the rubber O ring seal, but I have to use two of them because one filter by itself will pull away during brewing, I then am able to rinse the filters off without having to remove them from under the rubber O ring, I can reuse those same filters at least a dozen times. There are now filters on the market made for whatever size Moka pot you have. I also know that with or without the filter the cream was always produced, so the filter thing is not the secret either.

Have 4 cup. Fill with 180ml (half the pot) per instructions or fill to relief valve?

Volcano is right. I have a 4 cup Brikka and I used the measuring cup and put in 200ml instead of 180ml then waited until the crema started to blow out of the 2 small downward facing holes. I should have removed the Brikka from the heat right then. The pressure kept building and the crema boiled out and I ran away after turning off the heat. What a mess. SO 180ml MAXIMUM, thats all. When the beautiful foam starts building in the upper chamber, REMOVE the whole Brikka pot from the heat. Please do it this way the 1st time and if you want to experiment later on please wear a volcano suit. It DOES MAKE the crema!
