I bought this to try out, to see if I'd like using a Moka pot. I do. I'll likely replace this one with a higher quality one, and give this one to a friend to try out. It's not fancy, but it works and is easy to use and clean. Updated Review. So I've been using this moka pot almost daily for coming on 2 months now. For what I paid, I can't find any fault with it. It came with an extra gasket too. There is a learning curve, right temp vs grinds, vs amounts vs etc etc. My one suggestion is to buy either 58mm or 60mm round paper filters. Wet the filters and place centered on the bottom of the pot before screwing together. I tried 2 filters today, and got an even richer results. ...and buy a milk frother too. I've had so much fun making pretty layered latte's/cappuccinos. I pour the frothed milk into a clear cup, then layer in the coffee out of the moku pot, starting and stopping occasionally. It makes for a beautiful presentation of stepped layers of coffee and milk with the milk foam on top. The bottom layer is almost white and the layer under the foam is the darkest. This also makes for a great cup of coffee, as you get the intense dark layer first, as a wakeup call, then is mellows out as you continue drinking through the layers. Takes some practice but you can get several distinct layers, or a smooth gradient. I've had so much fun making this part of my morning routine. Edit 2. I ended up buying another one. The handle broke on about the 3rd use. Amazon made it right, and I got another one. This one had a metal bur on the inside of upper screw pot. A screw driver made short work of that, and it seems fine otherwise. Quality control on these may not be the best, but as a way to try out MoKa pot brewing, this is the one I'd recommend. I tried several other cheap brands, and even 2 different Bialetti's. I prefer this one. The one upgrade I'd make, if you like using it, is to upgrade the silicone ring. The ones made by Bialetti are just a bit thicker, and seem to make a better seal. Read more

Be very careful with it. since you can't clean it with dish soap i thought i would run gust water through it to get any residue out of it and when it heated up it shot all the water everywhere. ended up with 3 degree burns on my foot. it's not the moka pots fault i should of known better other then that it makes very good coffee.

If you don’t own a barista apron, a $1,200 chrome spaceship espresso machine, and a YouTube channel called Crema Chronicles… don’t worry. This little Yabano stovetop beauty is the only way to drink a perfect espresso at home. Welcome to your InnerEspresso Snob era. Grab a cup. Because here’s how the pros — the real pros — do it: 🔥 Step 1: Start with hot water. Cold water is for people who microwave fish at work. You? You’re better than that. Boil the water first. Respect the bean. ☕ Step 2: Fill your grounds, pack them GENTLY (don’t tamp unless you enjoy explosions), and assemble like you’re arming a tiny caffeine grenade. 👀 Step 3: Leave the lid open. Yes, OPEN. Don’t argue with me. Stovetop espresso is a spectator sport. Watch that rich, golden coffee start bubbling up like the espresso gods blessing your morning. 🔥 Step 4: As soon as it starts flowing, turn the heat down LOW. Like, “romantic mood lighting” low. Let it climb up slow for the smoothest, sweetest, most balanced espresso your kitchen has ever seen. And what you get? ✨ Bold, fragrant, velvety espresso perfection. The kind of espresso that convinces you you’re suddenly qualified to judge latte art competitions. This isn’t just a moka pot. It’s your passport to becoming that person — the espresso snob who swirls, sniffs, and says things like “smooth body” and “chocolatey notes” in their own kitchen. If you’re not ready for that level of character development… maybe stick to drip. Otherwise? Welcome to the club. Read more

I have used this moka pot at least once a day since purchased and it was worked great! I wish I would have purchased a larger one, but this is good for espresso and small cups of coffee. Read more

Get this pot if you are into aesthetics and don't plan on using it EVER! When I first opened the pot to wash it, I noticed how poor the build quality was on this pot. The edges of the metal coffee basket and filter were pretty sharp, and if you're not careful, you could end up cutting yourself. Also, the gaskets had extra pieces of rubber from the mold that they didn't bother to cut off. Although I overlooked this because as long as the pot preforms well, I was ok with the pieces being a bit lower quality, however, I should have known better, because my first brewing experience was a disaster. When the coffee started brewing, the pot started spitting coffee all over the place rather than nicely flowing to the bottom. I checked to see if I screwed the top on enough, as it was my first time using a Moka pot, I didn't screw the top on quite tight enough, beginners error. When I put the pot on again, and also on a smaller burner, it still spat coffee all over, and not only that coffee started leaking from the seal where the two halves of the pot meet. After making my first cup of coffee with this pot, I decided I'm returning it and spending a little extra to get a Bialetti; sometimes, it pays to buy brand name. Read more
