4.0 out of 5 stars Great espresso maker, but where to get replacement parts?, July 21, 2007

This review is from: Primula 18/10 Stainless Steel 6-Cup Stovetop Espresso Coffee Maker (Kitchen)

My wife bought this after seeing one in use. It does as well as any stovetop espresso maker, and the stainless steel is a nice feature. The only problem is that the sealing ring (rubber?) appears to have shrunk somewhat so the pot leaks a bit as the espresso is made. While it is easy to find replacement rings for the more traditional 3 cup stovetop espresso makers, the outside diameter of the Primula sealing ring, while close in size, is about 1/4 inch larger than those and so the standard rings don't work as replacements. I have not been able to find a source for replacement rings for the Primula pot.

I purchased a dealer demo of this at a local kitchen supply warehouse to replace my traditional aluminum "moka pot" The unit is built like a tank with a heavy gauge steel boiler that seems as substantial as the cast aluminum in other pots. All components are stainless steel including the filter basket. No shortcuts here! Parts go together easily and are easy to clean up afterwards. The espresso produced is excellent with no metallic aftertaste (the reason I replaced my old pot to begin with) I've used it to make americano coffee and lattes with almost coffee-house results. Highly recommended.
