Amazon.com Review Enjoy espresso the authentic Italian way with BonJour's Café Milano's stovetop espresso maker. Like an old-fashioned percolator, this handsome modern espresso maker forces hot water through ground coffee to produce deep, rich, satisfying espresso. With cream or without? That's up to you. BonJour's signature knob--charmingly shaped like an oversize coffee bean--graces the lid and adds a bit of fun to your morning espresso. Keep your fingers far from the heat of the aluminum body with the well-designed handle that curves out yet offers a firm grip. Designed and crafted in Italy, the 6-cup Café Milano version is a good size for a couple, but families or larger groups might want to opt for the 9-cup version. Hand washing recommended. --Meg Heffernan

STOP! Buy a REAL ITALIAN ONE, Not this knockoff!! November 25, 2007 M. Persic (Chicago) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought one of these "BonJour" models thinking I was getting the same thing as those I used while studying in Italy. The quality of these asian knockoffs are nowhere near that of the real thing (aside from the rough manufacture, the steam pressure valve broke on mine after three uses, making it useless.)- Check out the Bialetti models on other Amazon pages. World Market also carries a real Italian model from another maker.
Disappointed in BonJour July 31, 2007 Agatha Higginbottom (Hawaii United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I received this as a gift and was thrilled to receive it. While it made good espresso, after only three uses the main filter (the basket where you fill the filter with coffee grounds) broke. The stem came apart from the filter basket rendering the espresso maker inoperable. I called BonJour Products to ask about the possibility of getting a replacement filter. The very pleasant customer service agent said the filter itself wasn't being made anymore, put me on hold, came back and said she was mistaken it was available, put me on hold again while she checked on the cost and then told me the filter itself was not after all available for sale and that I'd have to buy a whole new espresso maker. Not at all happy with BonJour Products' management's response, I'll just replace it with a Bialetti instead. Bialetti has replacement filters available on-line as well as in kitchen stores.
Greatest thing ever December 6, 2006 Alex Blum (Santiago, Chile) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I see that some people have given this item a bad review; my guess is that they were unlucky or impatient. It is true that they come with almost no instructions, but it is a straightforward and simple product. If you are a coffee lover, I strongly recommend this product. Buy it, try different grounds and grind them to different degrees until you find what is best. And it's true, over time, the coffee only gets better.
Do not buy this item. May 20, 2006 A. Helmick (USA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
After returning the secong one, I will never use this brand again. The first one leaked water, and the second one just wouldn't wotk period. Save yourself the time and effort and buy another brand!!!
Cheap immitation made in China March 28, 2006 Chris Katechis (Scottsdale, AZ) Under the description says "made in Italy" but the box is marked "made in PRC". When if first starts to brew the coffee spills over the top and makes a mess. The taste of the coffee is somewhat with a "metalic" flavor and taste. Save your money for another type of stovetop espresso maker.
