Review on Premium Stainless Steel Induction Stovetop Espresso Maker by London Sip - Enjoy Cafe Quality Italian Style Coffee at Home with this Moka Pot - Compatible with Ceramic, Electric, Induction, and Gas Stovetops (Silver-3 cup) by Jermaine Krishnamoorthy

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Terribly designed and difficult to use.

Oh my god, these design flaws make it difficult to use: 1) The handle is too small to hold with your whole hand. My wife could hold it well enough, but my very average sized male hands were too big. I either have to press my index finger against the boiling hot metal or stretch out my pinky, which is very inconvenient with a pot filled with hot liquid. 2) Coffee spills while pouring unless I use the lever on top to open the lid while pouring. EXCEPT 3) The lever doesn't open the lid really well because it's ridiculously badly placed. You can't easily reach the lever from the top, and even if you do, it's right in the middle of the lid, giving you no leverage. In the end you pull the lever in vain. So strange. I'm sure no one else has problems like this. It's like a case study in anti-user design.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Not as good as advertised
