What a great cup of coffee this little pot makes! Easy to use and delicious.

I really love this espresso maker! It makes the perfect amount for me - about a little more than a double shot.

The only problem was that when I first got it the funnel filter fit too tightly in the bottom chamber and I couldn't get it out. So I had to sand the inner edges of the chamber so it came in and out more easily. After that it was perfect.

i bought this for my father, he doesn't like anything with bells and whistels muchless a digital whatever, so he uses this at least two a day and he loves it! how could you go wrong with the price. this is just for the no fuss person who likes their espresso coffee.

We used this a total of 3 times and on the third time the top half of it some how blew up, hit the ceiling and threw coffee grounds and water all over our kitchen and onto my husband!! It was a huge mess our kitchen was covered from ceiling to floor, no joke!It took us two hours to clean the mess up. My husband was in the kitchen when it happen and coffee grounds went into his eyes. He was in alot of pain for hours and had to keep washing his eyes out with water. It was a nightmare I thought he had been blinded. What a piece of junk its so poorly made and it also leaks! DO NOT BUY THIS SAVE YOUR MONEY! We used it correctly by what little directions are with it. I contacted the manufacturer to let them know what happened and how crappy their product is and that we are thinking of contacting a lawyer.

ONE STAR IS TOO HIGH.

We purchased the 3 and the 6 cup models for XMAS Gifts.

The 6 CUP leaks without ever even heating it. Just along the bottom edge at one of the corners, the casting is too thin!

The 3 cup does not leak until you heat the water. It then sprays out steam along the main "seal" between the pots and all AROUND the pressure valve (not through it).

I do so wish they had included in the product information that these are junk manufactured by the cheapest company in China. With this poor level of workmanship, who knows how many heavy metals are in it.

Don't risk your health, buy a product from somewhere that has health and quality standards.

My fiance' is from Veneto (Italy) and obviously we drink espresso every day. This was a purchase to replace an antique that no longer made a decent coffee, but instead what we have now is a rotten tin piece of crap that only burns everything and never fills the whole way. This moka, when prepared correctly, only fills halfway with coffee, and then burns it to a pulp, EVERY TIME. I want my money back and will never buy another product from this maker ever again.

This is a fairly inexpensive item- it works really well though. Im happy with how it functions and it looks pretty good. I doubt that this will be a product that will last me forever like some of the more sturdy and finely made espresso makers- but for the time being it's doing a really good job!

This is a great little espresso coffee maker. It is simple and easy to use. I have espresso in five minutes. It is portable and is a wonderful alternative to more expensive espresso makers.
It is tiny though and I wish I had gotten the 6 cup; the 3 cup barely fits my stove.
