Review on Premium Primula Stainless Steel Stovetop Espresso and Coffee Maker, 6 Cup, Wood Handle - Effortlessly brew rich coffee at home! by Savannah King

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great, easy to clean but difficult to use

My roommate has a moka pot and I've fallen in love with it so I wanted one for myself. It doesn't have any plastic on it anywhere, which is something I always look for when getting a new coffee product, and that's a big plus overall. My JZPresso set to 22.5 can put about 20g of coffee in the basket and make the coffee even finer. or more coffee clogs it though. Better than my roommates who can handle about 17g of the same grist before failing through. Maybe it's the pipe diameter? I'm not 100% sure but I like that I can make my coffee a little stronger. Cleaning is about as easy as any, maybe even easier as the bottom water fountain is smooth and easier to clean than other Moka pots. Enjoyed. The only negative (which was enough to deduct a star) is that this thing is perfectly round. Looks great but it's so hard to pour boiling hot water into the base and then keep holding it to unscrew the lid without burning yourself. (Those who don't boil the water before making the mocha should do so so the coffee doesn't burn and tastes a lot better.) Even harder to remove when the pan is hot. Octagons are much easier to digest.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • There are problems
