The BEST stove top espresso you can get. Easy to use. Easy to clean Easy to get spares
Negative Product Points
Cappuchino tastes fine by me but the froth isnt as thick as shop bought. The paint starts to chip off the plug device and base eventually. (get the polished one) Screw the top on tight or the coffee goes everywhere
Detailed Commentary
The BEST stove top espresso you can get. You need to season this maker by using it at least ten times before the best flavour develops. For espresso fill the coffee high and put a small amount of boiled water in the top (where the milk normally goes). It kicks out a great quad espresso (about 150ml) with better crema than a Brikka can make. Make sure the top is tightened down or coffee will start to hiss out of the threaded joint and make a mess of your stove. The design might have been better if it was classic hexagonal as it isnt the easiest device to undo. Release the top bung device once the coffee is poured to allow air back in and make unscrewing easier
