This little espresso maker delivers big flavor. It’s easy to use, heats up quickly, and makes rich, strong coffee every time. I love the stainless steel design—it's sturdy and easy to clean. Perfect size for one or two people. A must-have if you love traditional stovetop espresso! Read more

I have tried almost every 1 cup coffeemaker device. I finally found it. The stainless steel will not rust like some other Moka coffeemakers. It works great on my electric stove. You won't be disappointed with this device. Read more

Awesome product, I've used it for two weeks now. SO MUCH BETTER than the ALUMINUM product Imusa is known for. This is for a 4 cup review, trust me you don't want get a smaller one than this. Each serving is only 2 ounces. So it gives about 4-5 ounces of coffee and I add equivalent in heated milk and it works fine. Other reviews say the inside of the bottom water container is sharp so be careful. Other than that it works really well. Clean thoroughly with water after every use. Read more

UPDATE: Well, it lasted over a year, about 15 months anyway. For the price when I bought it, that's like a dollar a month. Not gonna complain about that. So the little rubber o-ring came out of the pressure relief valve. It was broken but I tried to put it back in anyways. Ran a test run and no steam would come out of the valve, so that's an immediate fail. Safety, people! Just toss it, or find a new valve. Don't take chances with heat and pressure. But yeah, it makes a mean cup of "almost espresso." Time to order another one, cause I'm not going to roll the dice on another brand when this was great for the time it lasted. I could still use it safely without the o-ring, but that would be pointless because it wouldn't build the proper amount of pressure. Great product, in my opinion. Use Lavazza! Read more

My induction stove barely recognizes this pot. It is barely magnetic, but the stove still manages to detect it on the smallest burner. Make sure that the pot covers the entire inner circle of your smallest burner; otherwise, it may not be recognized. That's what happened with my two front burners. I thought the pot was defective until I tried it on the somewhat smaller rear burner. Once it found a home, it makes excellent moka espresso, so long as the lower pot is filled to just below the release valve. The upper and lower pots are well made and screw together easily, and are made of a durable stainless steel. It actually looks better than the picture in the description. the lid and hinge seem a bit flimsy, and that is my only complaint. The coffee basket holds between 18 and 20 grams of espresso, and the lower pot holds about 200 ml of water, about the equivalent of 3 demitasse cups of espresso after subtracting the amount left in the pot after brewing. I found that anything less than 128 ml will not result in good pressure, and the pot will sputter through the spout. I can't compare the results with similar more expensive name brand pots; but I'm satisfied with the 4 oz brews I have made. Read more

I use this on a daily basis to make Cuban coffee and it is absolutely amazing. The one headache that I can save you is this: do not turn the heat up as high as it can go, this is unnecessary and will scorch the pot. It's unfortunate that people who don't know how to use this product have destroyed it, and then give it a negative review. Leave the heat about 3/4 of the way up and this product will last you for years. Separately, it's a much better value than the competition which sells for $50. Read more

I do not recommend this product. After less than nine months of use, it has already rusted. When I contacted the seller, I was told the product only carries a 90-day warranty. Read more

I have been using this for about 6 months now. Not everyday, but every time I'm in a mood for coffee. It's a wonderful, convenient and simple stovetop coffee maker. Perfectly sized for a strong, quick brew. Easy to clean. Be careful with the top rim and lid, though. It can be sharp if not handled with care. Read more
