Review on ☕ 500 mL Stovetop Espresso Coffee Maker - Stainless Steel Induction Moka Pot - Dishwasher-Safe Italian Caffe Machine: Unbreakable & Multi-Stove Compatible by Greg Hammett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Firmly. Weighs almost four pounds (1.7 kg). Good coffee!

Very heavy stainless steel with a highly polished finish, good quality and nice on the breakfast table. Works with my induction hob. The full 10 cup version weighs 3.87 pounds (1.75 kg). It weighs 2.70 pounds (1.23 kg) empty. This large model requires some tightening/loosening force. If you're only hosting one or two people, consider the smaller option. Because of its size, the 10-cup version keeps the heat for a long time. After 30 minutes on the table it is still warm. After some experimentation I managed to make coffee the way I like it. Coffee burns easily if heated too much. Now I start heating it on high and then gradually reduce the heat when the coffee starts flowing and stops less than half. To get 400ml of thick, espresso-like coffee, I push the coffee (medium espresso) into the basket. With the tamper you can put about 50% more coffee in the basket. Without a tamp, the coffee is closer to an Americano than an espresso. Although heavier than I expected, it's lighter and more portable than an espresso machine. Combined with a small milk frother (Secura removable jug, model B07H195F48) you get a decent cappuccino.

Pros
  • Quality construction
