Works as expected with no issues. I have used it a few times already and find it easy to use and clean.It's a little more fiddly than a drip machine, but it's good coffee, fairly quickly, and I can use it on the woodstove.Just used it for the first time and it was great!Tremenda cafetera, muy útilMaking coffee and espresso its so easy and the taste is just good ?????I use this for my morning coffee. Had one that broke after a long time. So glad they make a larger pot. Delivery was super fast, too!!I had another one of these for many years, at least 12. I finally needed a new one and found this stylish version in red. An easy, no fuss way of making expressoForget those expensive espresso machines, if you want the best espresso you need to do it the old fashioned way like they do in Italy. I've had this moka pot for 6 months now and I love it (so does my GF). This, along with my electric milk frother, makes some of the best cappuccinos and lattes. So much so I have friends who have gone out and bought one of these as well. The following are a few tips for preparing espresso and also caring for the moka pot.1. Low and slow. As others have mentioned, you have to brew this on a low flame. I use the second to the lowest flame setting on my stove and it comes out perfect every time. Too high a flame and you may scorch the coffee. Likewise, if the flame extends out past the bottom of the pot, you run the risk of melting the handle. So take your time, let it happen naturally and you'll enjoy a prefect espresso every time.2. This is a cast aluminum pot. That means it will oxidize (rust). All aluminum will oxidize given time (just like stainless steel will rust under the right conditions), but cast aluminum is even more prone to oxidation. As such, I recommend you do not use any sort of dish soap when washing this. Soaps typically have chemicals and such that can cause the pot to prematurely oxidize. I use hot water and a clean cloth to wipe it out, rinse, then dry it off. That's it. And so far my pot has remained rust free.3. Coffee. The biggest aspect of making a good espresso, good coffee. Don't skimp on the coffee. Use quality espresso grinds (or beans if you grind your own). This is not a Mr Coffee drip so don't use a drip coffee maker type coffee. It's in the beans, so don't be afraid to spend a little more for a quality espresso grind.4. If you've never tried it I highly recommend you try a Caffè corretto. That's a standard cup (demitasse) of espresso with a shot (1oz) of Sambuca mixed in. A true Italian espresso. Yum!Siempre me han gustado estas cafeteras por el sabor y porque usas menos café que en otro tipo de cafeteras. El mango muy resistente y cómodo. Me encanto! Compre la más grande por miedo ya que algunos comentarios decían era pequeña y realmente es grande; en mi caso me sirve porque soy amante del café y para mi es perfecta ! excelente compraEstaba inseguro sobre la capacidad y elegí la de 12 tazas. Me encantó! La de 12 tazas es enorme en comparación con mi vieja cafetera de 4 tazas que tenia!Muy buen material y acabados. Funciona muy bien a fuego medio/bajo. Definitivamente la recomiendo.Se nota muy bien construida. Los materiales se sienten muy resistentes, por el precio es una gran compra. La pedí en color negro y no me arrepiento es muy elegante. Me encanto. El sabor del café es muy diferente a las cafeteras tradicionales. Lo recomiendo mucho.Excelente compra en relación precio/calidad.Es enorme, hace dos tazas. Grandes de café fuerte. Se limpia con fáciles y sella con poca presión. Si eres fan de las moka pot, esta es una gran elección.No me fascina el color (blanco) pero era la único opción para una de 12 tazas.Esta tal cual como en la foto.. Teniendo en cuenta q el cafe es expreso salen 9 tazas de expreso pero como 3 normales(grandesitas) ... Es muy facil de lavar a mano no apta para lavavajillas... Al principio no me aromatizaba mucho la casa pero con el uso va oliendo mas. Me gusto cumplio lo que queria.
