With the invention of the stovetop espresso coffee maker, espresso – long a staple of Italian cafés and bars – became available for home consumption. As the cold water in the lower chamber heats, the pressure from its boiling forces the water up through the coffee grounds. In just a few minutes, espresso emerges from the spout into the upper chamber as the pot hisses and gurgles. Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand until the lower chamber is releasing only steam. more info
Dissappointed

I was not happy with this product all. When I first took it out of the box something looked wrong. The lid didn`t shut flat and then when I did use it the first time, it leaked in more places then I could count
Nice

Great for about 4 cups of espresso. I read reviews first and made sure to read the directions (they say not to place in the center of the burner). It worked like a charm. Cleans up easy.
Defective item

I received mine today, but I have to return it because it was defective. Very poor workmanship. It has two visible narrow openings (fissures) in the bottom of the upper part. The lower part wouldn’t hold the pressure because of this defect and even some of the coffee grounds would penetrate into the freshly made coffee in the upper part.
Its like a goldfish.

You must not leave espresso grounds in the Moka.
Always wash after use.
Don’t air dry. Or you’ll get some weird jellyfish buildup inside. Not tasty.
Place the edge on the center on the burner with handle out.
Don’t pat grounds.
Do this and everything is dandy.
Do the opposite, and be prepared to flush the fish down the toilette.
A mistake.

This purchase was pennywise and pound-foolish. The metal in this is not like other stovetop espresso makers. It gives off an odd aroma. It arrives with a filmy residue that mostly washes off with dishsoap. But after use, it develops gelatinous goop inside the water reservoir. All this plus being made in China is giving me a really bad vibe. The coffee is reasonably tasty, but I’m chucking the thing. I never do that, but I just can’t shake the idea that I am getting something more than coffee in my daily cup. I’m going to pay a few extra bucks for some peace of mind with my cup of joe.
