My fave of the various stove top espresso makers that I've had for 40 years. The red makes us all happy, the enamel is markedly easier to clean than bare aluminum. The parts are solid, thick enough to not burn. The lid over the spout is a bit large, so it does not pour correctly unless you lift the lid. This is the one element that drops the Pezzetti below the top-of-the-line marques.
