 More like a 2 cup, but still great! October 11, 2008
Christopher Gardner (Florida, USA - USCG)
I have had no problems with this espresso maker, other than it only makes 2 cups...not 3. It looks nice, cleans well, and I have used it almost 10 times without any problems.
PROS: Makes great espresso.
CONS: 2 cups, not 3.
SUMMARY: For the price, it is ok. It is not an amazing device for a great price. I would only recommend spending a little more money to get a larger espresso maker (3-5 cups).
 Best Moka on the market September 30, 2008
Amaury Rodriguez (Horsham, PA USA)
The original creator of the Moka is still the authority. I grew up knowing moka pots as the only known way of brewing coffee, so I know very well how moka-brewed coffee should taste like -and this is the best. I used to think that the quality of vessel did not affect the end product, but I was wrong. If you start with good quality coffee and put it in a cheap moka you'll get a bad result. Now I can fully enjoy the (somewhat expensive) espresso blend that I like.
Very good coffee maker, needs attention though September 19, 2008
'Thena (New York)
Overall I like this coffee maker. My only criticism is that it can be difficult to tell when the coffee is done. When it's done though, the coffee is quite good.
O boy is this fun. August 28, 2008
a. (Upstate, NY)
I love everything about this machine, even the waiting is okay. It makes a good strong espresso, with no muss, no fuss, no disassembling a complicated electic machine (which doesn't do crema, btw), just let it cool and rinse. Why did I wait so long? Fifty million Italians can't be wrong (but I paraphrase).
Economical Primo Coffeemaker August 18, 2008
Jonathan E. Barnes (Tennessee)
I received this stovetop coffeemaker after placing it on my amazon wish list -- i had heard from a friend that this was a great way to have authentic coffee without an expensive espresso maker occupying valuable counter space. He was right -- after making one pot of "throwaway" coffee to get it seasoned, I was well on the way to making a delicious cup of coffee -- i set the gas burner on medium heat and after a few minutes the coffee was brewed and ready to pour. it makes an incredibly rich cup of coffee -- on the spectrum between coffee and espresso it is closer to espresso, but not as thick. highly recommended and worth every penny. time will tell how long it lasts, but if the other amazon reviews are any indication, i think i'll be passing by the coffee shop in the morning and saving some money whilst enjoying my stovetop-made cup of coffee!
