Loved everything. I am no novice. I own and still use a 60 year old 1 cup maker.I would not recommend a gas stove UNLESS you use a good pie tin over the burner flame, come la Mia Mamma.
When using an electric or flat top turn handle towards the OUTSIDE of the element. I find this product well worth the price. Don't use soap to clean, just some hot water. Easy to use and clean. Don't use the handle to screw the top in or out. Use a pot holder or dish towel. Don't over tighten the top. Don't fill over the relief valve with cold water. Don't use high heat. Half way above medium is fine. Don't walk away. Hang loose and your espresso will be ready in just a few minutes. Remove from element and let sit for 1 - 2 minutes. Pour and enjoy. Hope this helps. Grazie. Buona fortuna tutti.
Thank you AMAZON.

How to Make the Perfect Espresso
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|
|
To start, unscrew the top part of the espresso maker with the handle from the bottom part of the espresso maker and remove the funnel that nests inside the base of the espresso maker. |
Next, fill base with water to the level of the safety valve. Replace the funnel into the base and fill it with ground coffee; do not press coffee down. For best results, use fresh roasted, finely ground coffee. The recommendation is to use a 6-to-1 water to coffee ratio. For each tablespoon of coffee, use 3 oz. of water. |
Tighten the top to the base. Make sure the top is completely screwed on to the base before putting on the stovetop. |
Heat coffee until coffee percolates to the top. Make sure the handle of the espresso maker is not over the heat source. Remove from heat and serve. Enjoy! |

An affordable alternative to an espresso machine.
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2023
I’ve only used it once so far & product didn’t give me any difficulties. Very easy to use. I recommend filling up the water just a little under the valve. Also, I’d suggest brewing just water the first time to really get a good internal clean. After some googling, don’t use soap after use, just a hot water rinse will work fine but to each their own.I recommend this product but will update after a few months to see how it holds up.Note: after drinking my cup of espresso, once it was time to rinse the pot I did notice left over espresso under the filter where the water goes. (pictured attached) Not sure if that was on my end but I’m certain I poured like any normal person would. Maybe I have to completely flip the pot to get everything? (you would expect to not have to do that cause then the lid would just completely open up.) it isn’t a huge deal but I guess just felt like a waste of espresso and maybe not my full 3 shots since I ordered the 3 cup size. (Essentially means 3 espresso shots.) All in all, it’s a great little product, didn’t come defected and a great way to brew some coffee!
