aerolatte6-Cup MokaVista/Stovetop Espresso Maker, Silver, 6-Cup/330 ml

Beautiful item...only problem is the screw mechanism not complete so bottom doesn't make contact with rubber protector in upper have so leaks a little and grinds with metal when screwing/unscrewing the two halves.

I normally buy bialetti, but this one is really great that I had to buy it again. ( first time not from amazon)

The video I watched on their website is not entirely accurate he mentions just put less water in for not a strong coffee but I tried this and if you put in less water to make your 3 cups it doesn’t work not happy

If you haven't time to quickly grind any beans buy excellent ground expressi coffee with a solid airtight pack seal- the efficiency of these coffee makers is simple and pure and we still have one my aunt gave me that she bought in the 1960s- they just do the job perfectly.

Initially I found this a bit fiddly to work with but I soon got into the way of it.Makes great coffee but it is a chore to wash and keep clean.Overall, a worthy product that does what it is supposed to do.Watch the YouTube videos on how to use Espresso mugs for good adviceRecommended.

A lot smaller than you'd peg it, this doesn't take a whole lot of espresso. In fact, I got just four and a half out of mine with following directions. Used a good coffee but the flavour came out wuite weak so it may take a bit of playing about with other brands to get a proper espresso.Quite easy to use and to make the coffee and it's very satisfying to see it coming out of the top when brewing.

I already own another manufacturer's version of a six (expresso) stove top Italian cafetiere, so I was aware of the process involved. Basically: you grind coffee beans, or use a ready-ground variety and place into the filter. The water is placed in the bottom element of the device and all is screwed together. The unit is then placed on a hob (I used gas) and gently heated until the viewing window shows that the coffee has evaporated into the upper chamber.So far, so good. My only issue was that the spout dribbled quite a lot and thus I poured out my two cups of coffee over the sink to minimise the mess. The drink itself was lovely, rich and smooth. The price point of this item is great, as is the viewing window. My only beef is the dripping spout.

This is a solid and well made coffee maker, stylish looking and extremely well put together. The only 2 problems I have with it are that the lid opening lever is slightly tricky to operate (it's a bit short, it won't stop you working it but it's not exactly ergonomic either) and that it the coffee will run down the side if you pour too quickly. Neither of these are particularly large problems, and other than that, this makes a great coffee. Recommended.
