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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointed with inaccurate description

I'm writing this review before using an espresso pot because I already have a similar pot and know that it makes good espresso, it's relatively easy to use and cook. clean. I wanted to give it to my son who is a purist both in terms of coffee and materials. My pot has a plastic handle and a plastic handle on top so I took that one to check and then gave it to him for the wooden handle. He likes materials that are as natural as possible and was looking forward to it. But now I don't think I'll bother to send it. Firstly, the handle is not made of wood, as the description suggests, but of pakka wood. I have pakka wood knife handles that are beautiful. Visible and attractive is the structure of the impregnated veneer, which gives strength to the underlying inexpensive wood. It's cheaply made and has a kind of washed out and faint grain pattern that looks fake. A tiny metal protrusion sticks out on one side. I could barely see it, but my finger definitely felt it as I rubbed the surface of the handle. It's like the end of a staple or the tip of a nail that has been split and comes out the other side. It also warns against putting the pen in the fire as it will burn itself. One of the reasons I bought it for him is because the description said it could be used on a camping stove, but that sounds like it wouldn't work with this handle. The pot itself is fine. It's pretty much the same as mine - good solid stainless steel that will work on any type of burner. But what a disappointment to add that ugly, cheaply made handle to such a beautiful stainless steel pot!
