Review on Grunwerg Espresso Coffee Maker SSICM 04 by Chelsea Hunter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad but would have expected better.

1) I was expecting to get a black pan, but it turned out not to be colored. It's not that important to me. But before you buy, check with the seller to make sure you've opted for a black espresso pot. 2) Suitable for conductive stove. I really appreciate it =) 3) The only bad thing is you have to attach the bottom to the top VERY tightly. Otherwise, a little boiling water will flow out of the connection of the two parts together. This feature doesn't affect the functionality of this product, but I really don't like it. 4) The seller has correctly stated the amount of espresso that can be obtained with this device. A few tips: guys and gals, use freshly ground coffee beans! This is essential to get the perfect espresso. The grind should not be too fine, otherwise the vapor pressure at the bottom can become too high and you can over-extract the coffee and end up with a coffee that is too bitter or too acidic (depending on which beans are used). Do not fill the base with hot water as it will be difficult to seal tightly - it will get too hot to handle. Fill the coffee space completely, just to the brim. Otherwise you will have to waste your espresso.

Pros
  • Kitchen and dining room
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
