Review on Imusa USA B120-43V Aluminum Stovetop 6-Cup Espresso Maker: Enhance Your Coffee Experience by Jeffrey Shatzel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worth the investment! (Thanks Reddit)

(6 cups is about half a regular cup of brewed coffee. Suitable for 2-3 people in small espresso style cups. Or one cup for those addicted to coffee.) I had It's fun diving down the coffee rabbit hole, so I asked Reddit where to start. After looking at super expensive drip coffee makers and since I already drink ground espresso every day, I figured this cheap little guy would do the job. A lot of people suggested only spending $30 or so to get a branded product, but for $5-6, one of those worst case scenarios was that I could throw it away or give it to someone else if it sucked. To my surprise, it is very easy to use. You must watch it while it works or you may get unpleasant results. Cleaning isn't too bad, but you should give it a really good cleaning between each use. And be sure to dry well! Don't leave it with water or coffee. Metal is cheap and can become rough quickly. Overall I'm happy with it and love the results. Even cheaper ground espresso like Bustelo tastes very good. Highly recommended if you are like me and want a good product, easy to use and cheap. Maybe I'll switch to Bialetti later?
