elabo Stovetop Espreeso Machine and Moka Pot for Gas or Electric Ceramic Stovetop, Italian Espresso Coffee Shot Maker for Italian Espresso, Cappuccino and Latte, Stainless Steel…

I did not receive the brush and the scoop that was pictured. However the espresso pot served it’s purpose. I like the size and the weight of the pot. Not too heavy yet sturdy. I’m using it for camping.

I liked this one in particular because it didn’t have 4 separate pieces but only 3, but I expected better quality. We have an electric oven and yet the base changed color and burned on the inside very quickly without the oven on.

I normally use a French press, and thought I would maybe switch to the Moka pot, as I was intrigued with it, and it is the way many people in Italy make their coffee at home. But I didn’t want to get a traditional Bialetti, since they are aluminum, and I only cook in stainless or cast iron. Enter the one stainless Moka pot I found on Amazon.

I was worried the bottom would be hard to unscrew since it is smooth and not hexagonal like the Bialetti, but that wasn’t a problem. The base, however, is so small that I found it hard to position on my gas stove grill to safely stand upright, and I thought this could be a disaster if it tipped over with very hot water/coffee bubbling up.

You won’t be able to really clean the top half unless you have a very narrow special brush, because of the center stem. But this is true of every Moka pot. The bottom half is easy to clean with the brush that’s included in this package.

As to ease of use, I find having to unscrew the bottom and carefully fill the filter with coffee tedious and messy. But this is something you will have to do with every Moka pot. I would just rather dump my coffee into a French press.

This will use up a lot of your coffee fast since it requires more coffee for less liquid beverage at the end. If you like very concentrated coffee (this is technically not espresso, which requires more pressure in brewing, but it IS concentrated) and have an induction or electric cooktop, this could be great for you. It just wasn’t for me.

I gave it four stars even though I returned it, since there isn’t anything technically wrong with it, it has a nice sleek design, and if you want a Moka pot that’s stainless and not aluminum, as so many of them are, this one will fit the bill.

Lorsque je l’ai reçu j’ai été étonné par le poids de la cafetière pour de l’acier c’était vraiment mince.
Au premier usage mes craintes se sont concrétisées à la fin de l’évaporation le fond de la cafetière est devenu bombé , retourné immédiatement…..

I’ve been using stove top espresso makers my whole life so I’ve gone through many. I bought two of these and I noticed both have a bulging problem on the base. I guess the metal is too thin on the bottom. This is a pretty common issue among these types of products. There’s no leaking so far so that’s great.

Please use this product in medium heat and decrease the heat while it begins to bulge and rock around!! It does go back down after a couple minutes of being off the heat.

I recommend filling it up with water to the little nut. I noticed people are overfilling it! Since it doesn’t have grooves on the inside of the tank like a traditional pot, it’s easy to clean and there’s no build up. The taste is great. It does need to go through several batches you gain that true espresso taste!

Overall, I recommend this product because it’s great for the price. This is a budget friendly pot and I didn’t want to spend $35+ on one at the moment! Just be careful with how much heat you apply because of the bulging issue.

Cadeau pour mon chum.
Elle est si jolie!! Et le café est délicieux là dedans.
C’est notre quatrième, on s’en vient experts 😆
