Fastest Coffee Ever!
So I love this little Moka pot! Been making morning coffee all week with it. I wasn’t exactly sure how to use at first, read instructions but did not say how much coffee to use. So I decided to wing it and fill the grounds holder. I used regular coffee first time as that’s all I had. Coffee came out fine, was actually better after it sat a while (didn’t have time to finish before appt). Looked up online later in day to be sure I did correctly. Only thing I changed was to use hotter tap water in bottom chamber. Used hot to warm first time. Been using hot ever since and leave lid open until I see it start perking. Then I turn off heat and check coffee level until done. Give coffee quick stir in pot and enjoy. Be sure to keep handle away from heat, I just place pot to one side of burner. This is the fastest coffee I’ve ever made! Very quick. I bought espresso coffee for next day and improved taste. I like LaVazza espresso and coffee in general, used Chock Full of Nuts first time for reference. I will try regular LaVazza at some point as I do have, but the espresso is great. I’ve been drinking whole pot myself for most part, it’s the 6 cup. But definitely enough for me and hubby, especially since I like lot of cream. Clean up is a breeze, just rinse out all pieces, swipe with sponge, and drip dry. States dishwasher safe, but I prefer to hand wash certain items. This doesn’t take up much space either so easy storage in cupboard. Highly recommend.

Lots of negative reviews are due to user error
I love this little guy! I got the silver 6 cup one, and I love the coffee he makes! He’s a beauty and I think pretty good quality considering the price point. I heat up the water beforehand and so it just takes a few minutes for this guy to start brewing, so pretty quick! 6 cups is not standard American cups, so if you’re expecting a huge guy this isn’t it, but the brew is very strong so you honestly don’t need a lot.I also wanted to point out that I was hesitant in purchasing due to the negative reviews, however after reading the paper that comes with it those are clearly due to user error. It clearly states to not put it in the dish washer, and to not use the handle to tighten the compartments together, so if you follow those guidelines I think this guy should last you a decent amount of time :)

Great to make coffee
I've been using this moka pot for a few weeks, and it's been great. The coffee comes out rich and flavorful, and it's easy to use once you get the hang of it. It feels sturdy, cleans up easily, and is a nice alternative to an electric machine. Great value for anyone who enjoys homemade espresso-style coffee.

Very nice but filtration needed
Very nice but you MUST boil on medium to low fire or else it does not filter the coffee grinds well so that fine coffee grinds come up and sit on the bottom. Also, it has been noted that if you put the handle too close to the center of the fire it will melt. Just have to be careful about that.

TIPS ON HOW TO USE AND CARE PROPERLY!!!
This product works as intended with non toxic materials. Stainless steel all the way. Now.. for those who complain on here for damages to the handle or discoloration, or rusting.. you’re not using the product correctly. So here’s some tips!DON’T put in the dishwasher, you’ll discolor the product. Possibly rust it.DON’T wash with soap and sponge! Yes, although that might seem unsanitary, it’s not. Wash with a paper towel that’s wet. The heat from the percolator is already a disinfectant, you’re also only using coffee grounds only.. really hard to dirty up something with coffee grounds only. It’s biological herbal organic material, hard to have something rot from this.DON’T leave to dry in washer or just throw it in the dry rack unless you live in a state that’s not as humid. Yes this can be tedious, and annoying especially if you need to clean it immediately and it’s hot. Let it cool for 20-30 minutes. 2 hours to be absolutely safe about touching it, if you’re that paranoid. And dry it with a paper towel or cotton cloth!!! This will absouteltly prevent rusting. You can leave it in the dry rack but again.. dependent on how humid it is outside and in your home, it can still rust.DON’T put it on high heat. This product is meant for medium heat, your coffee will brew even better in this heat and won’t end up being burnt.DON’T put the percolator in the middle of your burner. Put the percolator on the edge, and leave the handle on the outside end of the burner. You put the product in the middle and that handle will cook and melt.

Works Well!
This ain't the Cadillac of espresso makers. I read some bad reviews and I'm hoping to set a few things straight. No one who wrote those reviews is wrong; you're getting what you pay for here.I don't use it every day and sometimes I use it twice or more a day. I haven't used it for a year yet but I've gone through 2 whole $4 cans of Bustelo and what comes out tastes like... well, coffee. Espresso? Eh, I'm not sure I really know the difference but it sure as heck looks like espresso.Sometimes I forget it on the stove for an hour or more. It gets really hot, like anything metal left on a hot stove. I don't touch the handle when that happens, I let it cool or use a kitchen towel. I have electric, and if you put it on high-flame gas, it'll probably melt the handle, like any plastic exposed to fire.Yup, "6-cup," means 6 little espresso cups, not 6 American teacups. It makes a small mug's worth of stuff with one go. I drink it in a mug; complain to my doctor if you think that's a bad idea. Report me to the coffee police if that's an inappropriate use of espresso. If you're the Starbucks type, this is probably what you know of as 6 shots, enough to make a couple of the equivalent of a venti latte. Ask me if you want a neat trick I found on the Internet for steaming milk in the microwave without extra fancy gadgets. You can make less than 6 shots too, use less water and less coffee. Or use less water and just as much coffee for that extra-tingly feeling a few minutes after drinking.I don't pack the coffee-holder funnel thing, it says that in the directions. Two heaping teaspoons of Bustelo from the can works great. Three works well too. What comes out is plenty strong either way. You don't need to use Bustelo, I'm sure whatever kind you like will work well.The thing ain't pretty either, especially after some use. Aluminum gets discolored with heat and coffee stains. If you're going for looks, get a stainless steel one, it'll cost you more but there's a reason they call it, "stainless." I fill the top part with water after pouring my coffee so I don't get that bottom-of-coffee-pot sludge two days later when I need my next fix. I also rinse the whole thing well before the next use. Otherwise, I've found it needs no maintenance.It does crank out great-tasting coffee though. It's easier to use than my french press and I can't afford a Keurig, either the cooker or the coffee cups. I get about 20 runs through the small Bustelo can (not the huge one... what's the small one, a pound or so?), which puts me around 20 cents per go in coffee cost. Your mileage may vary.Load, put on stove, wait until later, drink coffee. I prefer a cup of it with a cigarette -- I know, those are bad for you too -- but I'm sure it would be just as good in small cups with friends after dinner. My non-smoker friends think the coffee tastes good too, including my fussy friend who complains about everything.

Wonderful little contraption!
I learned about this little magical coffee maker while watching an influencer who lives out of her car. I don’t live out of my car, but I loved the look of the espresso that came out of it, and it looked so easy! And guess what? It is that easy. Just fill up the bottom with water, put some good grounds in the little filter basket, put it on the stove on medium…then magically delicious espresso appears up top! Seriously best purchase I’ve made in a long time. I find myself making coffee at all hours of the day because it’s such a novelty and the espresso is perfect.

Great little moka pot, but definitely consider a larger size!
This moka pot brews a rich, delicious cup of espresso and is very easy to use on the stovetop. The build quality feels solid, and it cleans up easily after a good brew.Pros:Flavor: Makes a rich, authentic stovetop espresso with a great crema.Ease of Use: Simple to assemble, use, and clean.Sturdy Build: Feels durable and well-constructed.Room for Improvement:Size: If you drink more than a tiny shot or want a standard mug's worth of coffee, you will definitely want to size up. This 6-cup size yields much less than expected once brewed, so consider a larger capacity if you share or want a bigger serving.Overall, it's a fantastic little coffee maker, just make sure to double-check the sizing so you don't end up needing a bigger one!

Rubbish
Terrible coffee maker. Filter size inappropriate and allows the coffee powder to contaminate the decoction.

Professional Results and Authentic Style | Master the Extraction
This Moka pot is outstanding. The coffee flows smoothly without any issues, creating a rich and dense crema that rivals a professional setup. I’ve noticed several reviews complaining about the plastic handle melting, but I must emphasize: this is a Moka, not a defect! If the handle burns, it’s because the gas flame is too high. To get the best results, you must use a small flame for a slow, steady extraction; otherwise, you risk scorching both the handle and the coffee itself.For those looking to elevate their brew, here are two professional tips:1. Pre-heat the water: To avoid "toasting" the coffee grounds while the pot heats up on the stove, fill the base with already hot water.2. The Valve Rule: Never fill the water above the safety valve. It’s a crucial safety feature and affects the internal pressure.The craftsmanship is in perfect Italian style, offering excellent value for money. One final golden rule for longevity: NEVER wash it with soap or in the dishwasher. Simply rinse with hot water and wipe with a cloth to maintain the seasoning of the aluminum.Pros:• Extraction: Smooth flow and great crema.• Design: Iconic and functional Italian aesthetic.• Value: High-quality materials for the price point.

Excelente calidad
Hasta el momento siento que es una cafetera práctica y de buena calidad. Los materiales se ven al 100 y aunque ya tengo varios meses usándola, casi a diario, se sigue viendo muy bien. Es muy fácil de limpiar.
