Product Description
With the invention of the stovetop espresso coffee maker, espresso - long a staple of Italian cafés and bars - became available for home consumption. As the cold water in the lower chamber heats, the pressure from its boiling forces the water up through the coffee grounds. In just a few minutes, espresso emerges from the spout into the upper chamber as the pot hisses and gurgles. Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand until the lower chamber is releasing only steam.
The lower water tank holds a metal filter and features a safety valve. The upper tank fills with perfectly brewed coffee. Now Italy's favorite aluminum coffeemaker can go to work in your kitchen, making delicious espresso on gas or electric stovetops. Now available in a mirror finished alluminum.

I have owned 5-6 stovetop espresso makers, this is my first 9 cup and my first Cuisinox. The gasket that came with this espresso maker is too small. Every time I make a pot, the gasket and strainer fall out. This is the only stovetop espresso maker I have ever used where the gasket didn't fit. This pot is also made in China and I believe all of my others are made in Italy. The cost to all of the other makes I have purchased is comparable. It seems like a very simple thing to have an espresso maker and supply it with a gasket that actually fits.
