Zulay Kitchen Classic Stovetop Espresso Maker for Great Flavored Strong Espresso, Classic Italian Style 5 Espresso Cup Moka Pot, Makes Delicious Coffee, Easy to Operate & Quick Cleanup Pot

Just made my first cup with this and it was brilliant! Only neded the hob on number 3 and it was ready in no time at all (i did use hot water to start though) 3 teaspoons of fresh ground was enough for three very strong shots of coffee. Its well enough made but lacks the perfect finishing of a much more expensive version. Finish aside it works and looks great.

My wife uses this religiously every morning and it’s definitely stood the test of time, we got white which gets a bit charred on the bottom so maybe get a black instead but the quality is perfect

Like the design of the handle which is difficult to burn off like the designed to fail and burn plastic handles closer to the body of the machine but when you need replacement gaskets n.b. buy a new plate too as the one on the machine won't accept the commonly sold silicone ones. O for the rubber of yesteryear!

Very sturdy and easy to use. Very attractive. Unfortunately the colouring has already started to yellow at the bottom but that could be our hob.

I have another little coffee pot which I love so bought this one which was larger... I'm sad to say it's absolutely rubbish and simply does not work. Not sure if there's a part missing but when I brew coffee, instead of it coming out smoothly and then sputtering once you know the water is up from the bottom, it "sputters" from the start of brewing. I've tried persevering but it just burns the coffee then.

amazing product , i recommend this italian coffee machine , it makes my kitchen looks better !!

Bought as a stand in while our Delonghi espresso machine was being repaired but now use this all the time instead! The white colour is now dirty brown but it makes the best tasting coffee. Was told not to clean the inside (we use it daily) and the coffee oils build up. Very easy to use. Love it.

Remember, you’re not supposed to wash these. It does the job. Handle doesn’t get hot because of the material. It’s decent.

We bought this a few weeks back and the first thing we noticed was the lack or instructions papers or any type of documentation. After a few uses ( no more than 5 uses) the handle broke off, which really disappointed me as i knew it was cheap but did not expect it to face issues that quickly. But having said that it was an intereting and fun experience making coffee using a claasic espresso maker.

Let me first set Moka Pot coffee expectations properly for newbies. 1) 1 cup is roughly equivalent to 1.2 - 1.4 ounces. So a 3 cup pot can make about 3.8 ounces of coffee. The actual amount can vary slightly depending on your fill level and how well you control the heat in the final 20-30 seconds 2) Moka pots are specifically designed to brew fix amount of coffee. Don’t try to brew a smaller portion by using less water or coffee - it will mess everything up. The amount if coffee in the holder must be set to the top, never pressed hard. This level governs the pressure and amount of time the water passes through the coffee. Changing these variables changes the amount of extraction. Also, too little water in the boiler will change, lower, of the water temp of the extraction. All these things, including grind size, will change the result. Just buy the sizes that fits your needs. 3) Grind size matters to the brew. Finer grind, more surface area which is good for fast brewing methods unlike French Press. Too coarse, less surface area' weaker coffee. Too fine, like expresso fine, the grinds can clump and the water will not pass through like an expresso maker because it uses much less pressure. 4) Watch it closely, and when the liquid begins to pour out, lower or remove from heat, and let the rest stream out beautifully like a fountain as you watch the last liquid begin to run clear. See attached photos Pro: this Moka Pot uses a silicon gasket unlike Bialletti which uses rubber. Rubber can get hard and disintegrate over time, and sometimes can leave a foul taste. Silicon is better. Lastly, remember making great coffee in one of these is both an art and a science. It takes patience to perfect the method, including the right grind and beans, but working all that out is part of the fun

Using this for around a year, still looks good and stylish. Recommend

I’ve had this coffee maker for over a year, and it has worked reliably the entire time. I haven’t experienced any leaks, stains, or issues like those mentioned in other reviews (which, in my experience, seem exaggerated). Overall, it performs well and is actually better than my previous Bialetti. With that one, the gasket would flatten and wear out over time. In contrast, this coffee maker uses a food-grade silicone gasket, which has held up perfectly even with daily use for over a year.

Excellent deal
