 Not so great August 28, 2008
Susan Swan (Sunnyvale, CA United States)
I've owned several stove top espresso machines. I find this one is hard to screw closed properly and therefore doesn't make a full pop of coffee. The coffee it makes is okay, but not wonderful.
 great little pot!!! August 23, 2008

using this for a week and am totally hooked! Easy to use and clean and I've never had a better cup of espresso!
A nice, stylish, and well-made maker. July 31, 2008

Nice looking, all stainless construction, reasonably-priced, and decent espresso. If I would take more time and heat it up more slowly I could probably make it even better, and end up with crema on top. I guess that's the big difference between this little pot and my friend's $2,000+ Jura. I have to do all the work. I can live with that. I had an aluminum pot at one time, but it got all grody on the inside. I like the stainless.
I agree with the comments that the six-cup model can only make six really, really small cups. That's why they make espresso cups so small, and don't fill them but maybe half-full. Of course, if you use a six-cup to make two cups you're going to have some pretty wired guests . . .
Very nice. May 5, 2008

It's OK April 15, 2008

Pros: Dishwasher safe, looks cute and not going to rust.
Cons: It is smaller (even it says 4-cup, it is smaller than the 3-cup aluminum version), and coffee flavor is not as intense as its aluminum cousin. If you use traditional ratio with milk for cappuccino, milk will overpower the flavor. It takes more coffee grind to make a decent espresso. It also takes longer to brew.
I was going to return it, but decided not to be too fussy over a cup of coffee. Life is more grand.
