Just bought this and it works great. You put water in the bottom, add coffee to the filter/funnel. As steam builds, it forces water up through the funnel and then through the coffee and you get this lovely espresso. My only warning (and this applies to all brands of stovetop espresso makers of this type) is that you have to stay close by as the coffee brews. Once all the water has boiled off, you have to turn off the heat or move the pot off or else you will have a nasty mess.

Had this for a month about. Coffee started out tasting great, Lavazza Cafe Espresso., very smooth. Cleaned each and every time it was used. Over time it tasted bitter, couldn't get rid of the aweful taste. I question this brewing method and will continue with my french press.
