Review on Premium Stainless Steel 9-Cup Stovetop Espresso Coffee Maker with Replacement Gasket, Filter, and Instructions by Robert Layne

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy to use but rusts easily

I'm the only coffee drinker in the family so I wanted to go back to making coffee the way I used to when I lived alone many decades ago. Since we have an induction cooker, the traditional aluminum pot didn't work, so I found this one. It works as expected and I make coffee on my stove top in less than 3 minutes. However, since the coffee needs to cool down after you've made it, it's easy to forget and let it sit, which doesn't seem to matter much. However after leaving it the second time I noticed some rust on the bottom which was frustrating for what I had just received and used as you would expect. I poured vinegar into the soil and left it overnight. When I cleaned it the day after I cut myself, be careful there are sharp edges. I managed to get some of the rust off, it keeps coming back and the underside isn't as smooth as it was when purchased. Anyway, I decided to roll it up and take it apart with an oven mitt and clean it immediately after use. However, if I forget, the rust comes back. I think the most important thing is that the coffee is really tasty and comes out pleasant, hot and strong. I will get replacements in the future.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
