SIXAQUAE Stovetop Espresso Maker Crystal Glass-top Stainless Steel Espresso Moka Pot Classic Italian coffee maker 360ml

I had to write this review because I am genuinely so impressed with this little espresso maker. As someone who makes Cuban coffee every single day here in Miami, I've gone through my fair share of cafeteras, and this is, hands down, the best, easiest, and most reliable one I have ever owned. I know they offer a few different sizes, but I have the 160ml one. For anyone wondering about capacity, it's the perfect size for me—it easily makes about 4 shots of Cuban coffee, which is ideal for my morning routine. The main reason I bought this was for my induction stove, and the speed is mind-blowing. I'm not kidding, it makes a perfect pot in under a minute! But the real win here is the simplicity and incredible value. I have friends with those giant, thousand-dollar espresso machines that take up half the kitchen, require a manual to operate, and are a nightmare to clean. This little powerhouse makes coffee that tastes just as good, if not better, for a tiny fraction of the price and with zero fuss. Plus, it's wonderfully lightweight and compact, so it doesn't hog all my counter space. I also love being able to see the coffee brew through the glass top; it's cool to watch and helps me know exactly when to pull it off the heat so it never tastes burnt. On top of that, cleaning is the easiest part of my day. I just rinse it out with hot water and wipe it down with a sponge (no soap, of course!) and it's ready for tomorrow morning without any lingering taste. Honestly, for what this costs, the product is an absolute steal. You're getting an amazing, easy-to-use espresso maker that outperforms others that cost ten times as much. Forget the complicated, overpriced machines—this is all you need for a fantastic cup of coffee. I can't recommend it enough! Read more

This is a great stovetop espresso/coffee maker. The glass is thick, the pot is very sturdy and well made. I use it to make my cup of coffee in the morning. I’ve been using it a few months and it’s great. Makes good strong coffee, which is what I was looking for. Note: Coffee can’t be ground too fine or the pot won’t work. Needs a courser grind. Once I figured that out, the pot worked great. I’d highly recommend it. Read more

Like many people, we have been using a k-cup coffee maker for many years. We keep hearing more and more about "forever chemicals" and "micro-plastics" that have negative health effects, and for the most part, I was ignoring those stories as all my life we have been using plastics. Recently I made a cup of coffee, and as soon as my coffee was brewed, I noticed a film on the top of the coffee, similar to an oil slick. We clean our machine very well after every cup of coffee, so this really made me start to think about the hot water and all of the plastic that it touches in our k-cup coffee maker. As I was looking for alternatives that had no plastic, I seen this stovetop espresso maker and decided to give it a try. The directions were easy to follow, and it took me about 7 or 8 minutes to make a "cup" of coffee. I normally make a 12oz coffee, and this maker only makes a 6oz. I really liked the flavor, and I don't mind that it takes 7 to 8 minutes to make if that means that I'm able to do so without having any plastics involved. If they made this to where it would make up to 12oz's at a time, it would be perfect. If I eventually find one just like this that will, I will order it. In the mean time, I ordered a stovetop percolator that can make up to 8 cups of coffee at one time. I have tried it and it works fine, but I definitely like how this one works a lot better. If you like small cups of coffee, then this stovetop espresso maker is perfect. Read more

This wonderful little Moka Pot allows me to make my morning and evening Coffees easily and quickly, providing excellent result from my freshly-ground Beans! Read more

I use this espresso maker every day, and it’s become one of my favorite parts of my morning routine. It makes exactly one cup, which is just the right size for me. The coffee comes out strong, rich, and flavorful—much better than what I get from a regular drip machine. The design is both functional and beautiful. I especially love the crystal glass top—it’s fun to watch the coffee brew, and it adds a touch of elegance to the process. The stainless steel body feels sturdy and durable, and it heats up quickly on the stovetop. One thing to note: the handle can loosen up a bit with regular use, but it’s an easy fix by tightening the screw. Not a dealbreaker at all, just something to be aware of. Overall, this is a compact, stylish, and effective moka pot that makes a consistently great cup of coffee. If you want a quick, single serving of espresso at home without taking up counter space, this is an excellent choice. Read more

It really does piss coffee everywhere when you try to pour it like other reviews say, but I don't think there's really anything the designers could have done about it considering its glass that heats up 200 degrees in seconds. Sharp edges that would break the surface tension would have it crack and shatter within a few uses. Other than that, it works really nice. Easy to clean. Read more

Good quality materials, looks awesome and works perfectly Read more

this was to replace a Delonghi Alicia that i've used for years. Problem was that the top part it is plastic & had to be replaced numerous times. Wish they'ed make a better top... Went for this cause of the glass top. Would like if they'd give instructions on use & care. Been using it for weeks & works decently. I've had to do a thorough cleaning every 3-4 times to make it more efficient... I do like how it makes "noises" when close to being done so i don't have to eagle eye it. so far, worth while...
