Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wanted a stovetop espresso while staying in the USA and so bought one of these. It has a speckled grey enamel finish (or some kind of paint - it is not anodized - that seems to be tough and "stuck on" well). It also comes in a small black nylon pouch (I think the idea is that it is to take camping?!).
Anyway, it looks fine and works fine - just the same as any other.
It's quite light - an expensive Bialetti would be heavier - but I imagine it will last just as long (these things seem to get damaged handles, or seals, or lost filters, before the body itself wears out in any way).
The only thing that surprised me was the sizing. I thought that the coffee maker I had owned before was "2 cup" size (this is the size I have seen them described as in the UK and in Chile). Since I could only find 1 and 3 cup sizes here, I assumed American cups must be bigger (everything is bigger in the USA right?! :o) and so ordered the 1 cup. But that is a tiny little thing, that would make one espresso cup. I then bought the 3 cup model, which appears to be size of what I have back home - it makes one "teacup size" cup of coffee.
[Update:] After a few months use this is looking as good as new - in my experience a plain aluminium body would be stained by now. On the other hand it does drip a little if you pour too fast.
