Bellemain Stovetop Espresso Maker Moka Pot (White, 9 Cup)

Not only is it incredibly easy to use and at a nice price point - it makes excellent coffee!This is a convenient and fun way to get a different taste/texture to your brew. And if you are a curious, coffee crazy connoisseur like myself - it's a "must-have" device for experimentation.I have had good results with any roast level, freshly ground beans and was pleasantly surprised how much more flavorful some light roasts can become. The "trick" with this method is to just know timing/water level and amount of grounds, but that is all adjustable to your own preferences.As with most coffee brewing methods - the only way this isn't foolproof is if you neglect to keep an eye on it or remove from heat soon enough.I also find it is pleasant and easy enough to use on work mornings as well as weekends.From personal preference, the 6 Cup model is also most ideal if you are concerned about size. It can either make one large serving or you can split it out into 2 depending on milk level preference, drink recipe, etc. I can easily get my desired amount in just one brewing or save some for later to make an iced coffee with.Pros:Ample handle is nicely spaced from pitcher to minimize burn riskHeavy weighted base - sturdy feeling design for long term useEasy screw on/offEasy cleaning/maintenanceSimple & stylishOnly "Cons":Moisture can make filter basket slightly tricky to remove - but not aggravatingly soDepending on how quick your stove heats this can be a 10-15 min process and may not be ideal for some foggy people in a rush. :)For the price and results you can't go wrong if you love coffee as much as I do!

It came packaged well. The last one I had kept leaking water from the gasket. This is a tight fit. The coffee tastes great, easy to clean - add the grinds to compost :-)

Perfect brew Expresso in 7minuts, portion accurate in accordance with Italian standards and style.

White turns coffee and gas burner brown pretty quickly; as expected.

This is a great coffee maker. It is excellent. I grew up in an Italian family and with this style of coffee and wanted one myself. Fantastic! Works as expected when you fill her up correctly (don't go over the valve in the bottom part). Works the best with finer ground coffees, but, I have experimented with "normal" coffees and it also produces well. The only minor issue is that the spout is made such that coffee can sometimes dribble down the side when pouring, thus I suggest doing it over the sink instead of the stove.However, I had to return my initial product due to the fact that the top part that connects to the handle broke after/during one use. So, be warned, don't try and use ANY blunt force on the handle to unscrew the coffee maker when hot (I did not in my case, but seeing as it broke without, it certainly would with). I suspect that it was already cracked when I bought it, and the heat exacerbated the problem.IMPORTANT NOTE TO PEOPLE NOT USED TO THESE: With thermal expansion, due to the heat, the threads of the screw will bind. Therefore, you must wait for the coffee maker to cool before unscrewing it and cleaning. After months of using the product I think there may have been a manufacturing defect when I had first gotten it. Zero problems with the new one.I hope you will enjoy a real coffee like me!!!

This arrived well packaged by the manufacturer, no defects, and makes good coffee. I previously owned a Primula, and it is also a good choice, but I prefer the handle on this one.

Bought one of these for myself and then again as a gift for a friend. Great moka style pot. The casting has some minor pitting, but not anywhere that could affect coffee quality. I not only use this most mornings, but have accidentally abused it more than once and it still works like a charm. One caveat: the funnel is welded from two pieces rather than a single construction, which means it WILL break if you smack it against your palm often enough (see above re: abuse). Fortunately, replacements are plentiful and inexpensive, and I have no one to blame but myself. Highly recommended.

I used one of these at a friends house and was so impressed by it that I needed to purchase one. I am so pleased with the quality and efficiency. This makes a really good cup of coffee and if you just need that one cup of coffee each day, this is your coffee pot. It’s simple, easy to clean and wildly efficient. I highly recommend this product.

ya tengo varios años con ella y esta como casi nueva y eso que ya he dado su buen uso

Excelente compra en relación precio/calidad.Es enorme, hace dos tazas. Grandes de café fuerte. Se limpia con fáciles y sella con poca presión. Si eres fan de las moka pot, esta es una gran elección.No me fascina el color (blanco) pero era la único opción para una de 12 tazas.

Siempre me han gustado estas cafeteras por el sabor y porque usas menos café que en otro tipo de cafeteras. El mango muy resistente y cómodo. Me encanto! Compre la más grande por miedo ya que algunos comentarios decían era pequeña y realmente es grande; en mi caso me sirve porque soy amante del café y para mi es perfecta ! excelente compra

Hay que curar la cafetera por lo menos 5 veces. Al menos es lo que me tomo a mi para que el café no supiera a metal. Muy buena y el café sale bien.
