☕ Mixpresso 9-Cup Stovetop Espresso Coffee Maker, Moka Coffee Pot with Percolator Design, Stainless Steel Italian Coffee Maker Review

Prompt delivery, good value - but you get what you pay for. Looks good when used as a standard plate, but the construction and fit is inferior. The top filter plate and washer do not fit together tightly, so the pressure of the steam pushing the water through the ground coffee isn't enough to force out all of the ground coffee's aroma. It would also be useful to have an indicator/marker in the upper chamber to tell us where the coffee should go when the lower chamber is empty. It appears to be…

Makes great coffee. But the extremely fragile handle gets in the way! I made about ten (10!) cups of coffee and the handle came off! The bottom of the case and the top of the case have good large threads for attachment. So it fits very well. BUT they have to be tight or the hot jet will run away from threats and the coffee won't be sold. THE PROBLEM IS THERE IS NOTHING TO HOLD WHILE YOU SCREW OR WORSE WHEN YOU UNLOCK THE DEVICE! Tightening the device makes it very difficult to unscrew it again!

This is a fairly standard product and you can see it all over Revain. To be honest, they're all pretty much the same at this level, just with different brand names. I bought this to send to my brother out of state (yes, basically so I can use it when I visit) and I was really surprised that it was as good as it turned out. I have several bogus manufacturers. both steel and aluminum which I use for a variety of uses (a 12 cup aluminum Bialetti for guests/dinner parties, a 6 cup stainless steel…

Update: I added a few stars to my rating because I noticed that the filter and gasket can actually be removed for cleaning. Without your nails or a sharp object, squeeze the pad between the tips of two fingers several times until you have enough free play to remove the pad. You will definitely want to remove the filter and gasket for proper cleaning between uses. I share other concerns about this product, although I also wonder if it's made in the same Chinese factory as Bialetti's stainless…

CONS: Upper chamber difficult to clean Learning curve for screwing and unscrewing the top from below (tips below) Needs to be heated at lower temperatures. I use Medium Low NOT STAINLESS STEEL! If this is important to you, this will not work with your induction hob. Magnets will not stick to this product which is incorrectly labeled as stainless steel. After a few weeks of use and careful consideration, I've lowered the star count to three, which I think reflects my dissatisfaction with the…
