Great Espresso!
My mom has always used the stove-top espresso maker to make her cafe. She would place it on the stove while she was getting ready for work. I always worried but this is the way she's always done it. We've tried different machines in the past but none would make good cafe con leche so she would already go back to her faithful stove-top maker.
I came across this machine on Amazon and it looked like a possible solution. It's a Moka maker (espresso), with the same basic design of her stove-top maker but it was electric and has an auto-shut-off feature. I was skeptical but decided to give it a try. I planned on having to it arrive when I was visiting so I could test it and send it back if it didn't fit the bill. BTW, Prime Rules!
Anyway, the machine arrived and I immediately unpacked it. In anticipation, I had gone to Starbucks and purchased my favorite, cafe verona. I had purchased the whole bean bag and had them grind it for me (espresso grind). I read the...
Great!!
I have used stove top espresso makers and they are messy - spewing coffee on the hot stove elements. I have used other electric ones that were cheaper, but they didn't hold up. This espresso maker is fast and good. I love the fact that it is stainless steel. So many are aluminum. So far it looks like it is very sturdy and will hold up well.
Love it!
Bought this to take on a family vacation. We love good strong coffee, which hotels do not deliver and didn't want to spend the time and money at coffee shops. It worked great! We used it twice a day for a week and a few times since we got back home. No issues with it breaking. It is very sturdy and am so pleased that it is not made of plastic like the others I saw. It makes a great moka pot in minutes!
