Title: A hardy and useful (yet affordable ) moka pot or stove top espresso maker !
Review: Pros -The price : Getting a moka pot for just $6 (what !!! ) . I was in disbelief when I saw the price for this one. I bought the 3 cup capacity one, and it is just perfect for my husband and me. It has some room for leftover as well, so if I want to drink some coffee later in the day, then I just need to heat it up the leftover a bit !Quality : since the Material it is made with is Aluminium , it is super hardy ! And it doesn’t like heat up too fast, also it has an insulated handle which allows me to hold the pot straight out of the stovetop!Durability: again it is easily washable, and you don’t need to spend much time into washing it, very unlike a french press (or specifically the french press that I owned before this - in which the coffee grounds used to get stuck so bad that I had to scrub it for atleast a minute).Brew quality: Loved the espresso quality which I got , this has become a regular for my morning coffee now! Thinking about using it for tea as well !Cons -Smoothness : well, about the only con which I could find is the smoothness of the hinge when you try to open the tank , for filling water ! You will notice that in my video as well, it takes a minute to open that. But hey, for this price point, I am all for spending that extra minute.😊Overall I would definitely say that the pros outweigh the con by a lot! And you should definitely go for this one if you are on the lookout for a good, hardy, handy yet affordable moka pot !

Title: A must have!
Review: This coffee pot is perfect! I prefer to make my expresso the old fashion way. It tastes so much better. New is not always better. Easy cleaning and fast to make. The aroma reminds me of my mother in law and smell is awesome. Very well made design and metal last along time. The more you use the better the coffee (seasoned like cast iron)

Title: Inexpensive and easy to use. Works great for iced coffees too!
Review: If you've never used an espresso (moka) pot before, it's easy to use and makes great, super-strong espresso, just like the shots you get from Starbucks. This little pot works just great, so why pay more for an Italian pot or some super-expensive machine that does exactly the same thing?All espresso pots operate pretty much the same. There are 3 pieces included. The base is heavy cast aluminum with a pressure safety valve (the little brass bit you see in the pic). This is filled with water, right up to but not over the brass valve. The second piece is the coffee filter. You can't see it in the pic but it looks like a funnel met and fell in love with a strainer, and had this filter as the baby. You fill the open top of the filter with coffee (it doesn't need to be espresso grind) and gently drop it into the base. The top of the coffee and filter will be flush with the top of the screw threads of the base. Try not to get coffee in the threads of the screw part, that will affect the seal. The third part is the coffee pot itself with the handle. It holds the brewed coffee. The lid is hinged, and when you open it, you'll see the tube that the coffee comes up through and into the pot. If you flip it upside down, you'll see a filter built into the bottom of the pot to strain the coffee from the grounds and a silicone or rubber ring around the inside of the screw threads, that helps seal the pot and bring it up to pressure.As I said, even the expensive Italian versions work the same. When you place the filled pot on your gas burner, make sure that your flame doesn't lick up the sides of the pot. Match the flame to the size of the bottom. Common sense, but some people have melted off the handle apparently. Mine has never even gotten hot. If you have an electric stove like me, set it slightly off to the side of the burner, not right in the center, just to make it easier to pick up. I crank mine up to high. After a minute or so, you'll hear a lot of hissing. What's happening is that the water in the base is beginning to boil, creating pressure. That's why there is a safety valve. If the pressure is too high in the base (due to over-filling), the safety valve will give way first, releasing any pressure. No worries though, it's really very safe! If you see excess steam coming from the screw threads, and it doesn't stop soon, you just didn't tighten it enough. Once the pressure has built up enough, it forces the boiling water up through the funnel and filter, and through the coffee grounds at high pressure. The brewed coffee (minus the grounds) is forced up through the tube and into the top pot. You'll hear a lot of hissing and loud bubbling, that's the sound of the coffee percolating through the tube. Once the sound starts to die down, take the pot off the burner and set it on a hot pad. That's it! Clean up is easy too. The base doesn't need it, and the filter and pot clean up quickly with a bit of soapy water. Let dry and reassemble.I use mine to make cafe Americano and iced coffees. For Americano, just add boiling water to taste. The straight up espresso is WAY too strong for this sissy. For iced coffees, I make a mocha syrup, mix it with the espresso and put it in a glass bottle in the fridge for iced coffee on demand. I keep mine for no longer than a week. To make the mocha syrup, use a microwaveable glass or ceramic bowl or mug. Mix 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of sugar in the bowl. Add several tablespoons of cold water to mix into a thin paste. Microwave for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes. I usually pour the hot coffee into the bowl, stir well, let it cool and pour it into a bottle (I really don't recommend plastic). Then when you want an iced coffee, add a few tablespoons of your mix to a glass of cold water, add sweetener of choice, cinnamon or vanilla (etc.) if desired, and then your dairy/flavored creamer/etc. These are really good and you'll save a lot of money. Enjoy!

Title: Good for the price. Good for travel.
Review: I bought this product to test the what flavor offered to my coffee. I like it right away. Rich flavor for black or 'lechero' (latte for those who like fancy names). It makes a 4-5 oz black and 8oz lechero. Rich flavor.After few weeks of use I started noticing dark spots in the bottom of the water reservoir, like aluminum rust. Small pieces come of when raise it (am I consuming some aluminum particles?). There is also a. Small drip from the filter seal when I pour it.Nonetheless is is practical good travel size for camping. I'm upgrading to larger capacity for my kitchen.

Title: my favorite coffee maker
Review: definitely my favorite way to prep my cafe bustelo in the morning! IMUSA has been a go-to brand for my purchases of these moka pots for years. aluminum is relatively easy to clean as it comes apart into 3 pieces. not sure if dishwasher safe, but i wash mine by hand no problem.i replace these probably once a year, not because of anything thats wrong with it, but just because it gets harder and harder to wash out coffee stains from the inside (purely aesthetics). plus they're so inexpensive that it doesnt feel like im wasting my money purchasing a new one every once in a while anyway. its definitely a user error sort of thing though because i make my coffee and then leave the moka pot sitting out to cool down and the coffee will stain the metal (i COULD just pour water into it immediately after using it and i wouldnt have this problem anymore. but, i digress)for anyone who's never used one of these before, i definitely recommend that once the coffee starts pouring out of the middle spout into the pot, to flip the lid closed. once it gets to the end of the coffee coming up it starts splashing super hot espresso a bit as it pushes air out with the coffee, so it tends to make a small mess around my burners. super easy fix, but super easy clean up if not.all in all, there's literally not one thing i would change about this coffeemaker. 10/10

Review: Revisé varias opciones de precios un poco más bajos pero tenían reseñas que indicaban ciertas fallas. Ésta costaba unos pocos pesos más pero con buenas reseñas y no decepcionó: buena calidad de materiales y de construcción y vale solo 1/3 del precio de la bialetti equivalente (3 tazas). El café empieza a producirse a partir de 2 minutos de que el agua está hirviendo y se le pone la jarra y el embudo. Tengo una bialetti de 6 tazas y no hay ninguna diferencia en la calidad del café ni en la calidad de la cafetera.Veo que muchos compran por primera vez cafetera italiana y no conocen bien su funcionamiento. Como consejo para principiantes:1) pongan primero a hervir solamente el agua en el depósito. Cuando esté hirviendo retiren momentáneamente del fuego, agreguen el embudo con el café, tapen con la jarra y pongan al fuego a la temperatura más baja posible y dejen la cafetera destapada. Cuando el café empiece a salir no se esperen a que salga toda el agua (eso provocará un café más amargo), sino que retiren en cuanto vean que el liquido que sale de la chimenea tenga un color caramelo claro. Es decir, solo dejen la cafetera en el fuego mientras el café salga de color fuerte primero (acidez) y color caramelo fuerte-regular después (dulzor). Retiren del fuego y sumerjan la mitad de la cafetera en agua ambiente o fría (igual pueden usar el chorro de agua de la llave, pero es mucho desperdicio). Si dejan que el café se siga extrayendo (color caramelo claro o casi transparente) solo estarán extrayendo amargura adicional.2) Lo ideal es que generen un producto que pese entre 3 y 4 veces el peso del café molido. Si no tienen báscula, pueden guiarse por el hecho de el café empezará a salir de color caramelo claro y la cantidad de café en esta jarra de 3 tazas estará a 3/4 de altura tomando como base el fondo de o jarra y donde comienza la hendidura de la boquilla.3) No olviden que deben usar café de molido mucho más fino que para americano pero no tan fino como para expreso. Si el café empieza a salir a borbotones, es porque están usando fuego muy alto o grano muy grueso. Es decir, aunque la cafetera debe usar como insumo 3 tazas (150 ml), el café que van a generar es de unos 50 - 90 ml.Por último, si ustedes están acostumbrados a tomar americano o café soluble, tomen en cuenta que esta cafetera genera un café muy diferente (menor cantidad, pero más cuerpo).

Review: My wife bought this for me as a gift. The coffee it makes is outstanding. It's dark, rich and strong. Cleanup is easy as the pot resists staining.The only thing to be aware of is that because this is an espresso maker, the volume of coffee made is small. It makes one espresso cup at a time.
