Stovetop Espresso Maker, 6Cup 240ml Classic Moka Pot, Crystal Glass-top & Stainless Steel Coffee Maker Mocha Pot, Greca De Cafe, Cuban and Italian Coffee Maker for Cafetera Cubana

I’m writing this because, one: switching to a glass moka pot has been way easier to use than stainless steel, since now I can actually see what’s happening inside (like in the photo). And two: a lot of the bad reviews here seem to be from people who don’t know how to use it properly. When you put it on the stove, it’s fine to use high heat, but only until it just starts to fill up a little bit (just like in my photo). As soon as you see that, you have to either lower the heat to really low or just turn it off. If you leave the heat high, it will start bubbling and burning, which is not how it’s supposed to work. The flow should be slow, smooth, and steady as the espresso rises into the upper chamber (where the coffee collects). If you like sugar in your coffee, here's my recommendation: put the sugar in a separate cup first. Then, as soon as the moka pot starts flowing espresso (like in the photo), pour just a little bit (you only need a small splash) into the cup with the sugar and mix it up well. It should look sludgy. Then you can put the moka pot back on the stove at super low heat, or even leave it off, since it finishes really quickly. The whole process moves fast, so make sure to keep an eye on it. It should never be violently boiling into the glass. If it is, your heat is too high and you're doing it wrong. It’s meant to be a smooth, steady flow. If you overheat it to where it's boiling into the glass, your espresso will turn out watery, and that's just user error, because when done right, it makes a very rich and smooth espresso every time. All in all, I actually love this moka pot. I've been using it for almost half a year now and no issues with the quality. Being able to see what’s going on inside makes a huge difference and makes it easier. Once you understand how to control the heat and time it right, it works perfectly with amazing and rich espresso.

Great product. Sleek, quality and efficient

Love this product! The espresso turned out better than I thought it was going to. Very easy to make!

The seal does not work so when you pour out the coffee, it leaks. sad because it is so cute and I love being able to see when the process is finished.

The quality of this coffee pot is great. I use this every day. Love that the cylinder is made out of glass so I can see when the coffee starts coming up.

​This stovetop espresso maker is genuinely elegant and makes fantastic coffee! We love the quality. ​However, as two coffee lovers, the 9-cup size is too small; we have to brew twice to get enough. If you are sharing, I strongly recommend getting a bigger model. Excellent quality, but size up!

The capacity is only for two double expressos, exactly what I wanted!

Works well like that it is not plastic or aluminum
