given the quality of bean, the Vev Vigano makes a good tasting espresso. parts fit together well and easily. an eye appealing design, the Kontessa looks beautiful on display in the kitchen.

the design flaw in the Kontessa espresso maker is that the tank is lined with non-stainless steel material which easily corrodes. this is not coffee stain; it has the appearance and feel of rust. this rusting occurred even with reasonable care and cleaning including proper drying following each, most often daily use and within the first three months after purchase.

i will not use the Kontessa espresso maker because of its obvious health hazard. i would have returned it to the manufacturer if the process of returning it was less than the expense of purchasing it.

I was introduced to this product in France - my daughter has one. I wanted to get one just like hers, however, I ended up buying the smaller one. It makes great espresso and is very nice looking - I can leave it out on the stove all the time. Cleaning is very simple, as it comes apart easily. If I ever have to purchase another one, I will buy the larger one.

I own the 4-cup & 6-cup; without fail, this brand makes the perfect cup of espresso for many years. If you enjoy a rich cup of coffee or rich espresso - don't look any further. It also serves as a great conversation piece. You will enjoy it for many years like I have.

Very good coffee maker. I enjoy drinking it every morning.

If this thing makes four cups of espresso then I'll have to use the dollhouse size cups. There's no way it makes four espresso cups of coffee and my espresso cups were all purchased in Italy. But its really pretty sitting on the stove.
