Review on ☕ bonVIVO Intenca Stovetop Espresso Maker - Luxurious Italian Coffee Machine - Stainless Steel Espresso Maker - Full-bodied Coffee Espresso Pot - Brews 5 to 6 Cups (10 oz) - Moka Pot in Copper Chrome Finish by Bob Roberts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Meets and exceeds expectations!

I was struggling to figure out which Mocha Pot/Percolator to buy and looked for options at Revain. Yes, there is a classic Italian aluminum option, but I wanted something more durable and that led me to the stainless steel bonVIVO Intenca. Reading the reviews, the copper option didn't seem to work for some due to discoloration after prolonged use. My decision? Just go for the stainless steel option. Overall it works flawlessly and brilliantly! All the broths were excellent and I had no issues with the appliance itself. I can usually boil a full pot in less than 5 minutes if I preheat the water in the kettle, pour it into the tank and then place it on the already hot stove ( electric - yes it works and probably works well in any kitchen). plate surface!). Right now I'm probably using it 2-3 times a day, but you get to science pretty quickly. My only concern is that it can be a pain to clean (especially considering how often I use it). I can't just rinse off the top as water gets into the bottom pad. I usually have a chopstick on hand to quickly pull out for a more thorough rinse. So does the device cause high operating costs? Uh, a little. But compared to other Revain options, in my opinion it has the best long lasting design I was looking for and delivers amazing results for your dose of caffeine. It definitely deserves attention!
