This is a good moka pot. I bought this one because it's made of steel not aluminum. Understand what you're buying. I purchased the 4 cup moka pot, which is what I wanted and the size I expected. The cup size refers to cups of espresso not coffee. This is the perfect size for one person who wants to make a cappuccino or latte. I had never used a moka pot before, so it took me a few tries to get it right. I'm used to using a normal drip coffee pot and a French press. I washed it with soap before use. So to use this size moka pot, I poured bottled water (don't use tap) into the bottom part, just below the safety valve. Then I filled the part that holds the coffee. You don't want to pack it down, but you want it to be full and leveled off. I used a pretty fine grind. Buy a whole bean dark roast or espresso roast and grind your own coffee beans. It's so much better than the already ground coffee. An electric coffee grinder isn't too expensive either. Then, you put the moka pot together and put it on the stove. I have a gas stove so I use the smallest burner. Make sure the flame doesn't go over the edges of the pot. The handle does not get hot. You have to stay by it. You want to heat it on low heat. If you try to use medium or high heat, you will likely end up with weak coffee that you don't want. It will take like five minutes maybe to brew. About 15 seconds after you hear it start gurgling, shut the heat off. Then a couple seconds after all sounds stop, you can pour out the coffee. To make a cappuccino, heat 2/3 cup of whole milk in a small pot on the stove. You just want to get it hot, not boiling. Then, get a battery-powered, hand-held frother, and use that until the milk gets frothy/foamy. Then pour that on top of the "espresso" while trying to keep the foam part for the top. Give it a gentle stir, and ta-da you have an at home cappuccino with no machine! Is it the same as sbux? No. But it's pretty close! I like mine without sugar. If you want it to be a latte, just use more milk. Let the moka pot cool for maybe like a half hour, then take it apart to clean it out. It's not hard to rinse all the parts and dry it. It takes like 3-4 minutes. This made a better tasting "espresso" than the French press. My cappuccino had a smoother taste using the moka pot. Hopefully this was helpful to you.

My wife and I only each drink one cup of coffee a day, so we wanted a solution for this small volume that makes good coffee. After a couple of weeks, we're happy with this coffee maker. It makes good coffee, without much fuss, and uses beans much more efficiently than our long-used AeroPress. The AeroPress coffee is good, but does not use coffee beans efficiently, and it is a bit of a fussy, hassle of a process.I first ordered the 2-cup version of this, but that was very tiny. I returned that unused and ordered the 4-cup version. I could tell immediately that it was also too small. I also returned it unused. We are now using the so-called 9-cup version. It makes two strong, regular size, cups of coffee.For two 12-ounce size cups of coffee, I medium-grind three rounded scoops of beans. All of the instructions online say NOT to pack the ground coffee in the filter basket. However, to fit this much ground coffee in the basket DOES require careful slight packing. It seems to work fine, and slight packing is necessary to get our two strong cups of coffee from one brew.What this unit produces is something akin to espresso, which we don't really like . . . but we do like diluting this coffee concentrate with an appropriate amount of hot water. Used this way, this Moku Pot knockoff uses 25% less coffee that the Aero Press, and result in stronger coffee that is just as tasty, and perhaps even better flavor than from the AeroPress.The only hassle I found with this device, is learning how tightly to screw together the top and bottom halves. if too loose, coffee will leak out at the joint. If too tight, you will have a devil of a time getting the two halves unscrewed. I think many women would struggle dis-assemble the unit, just because of how tightly it needs to be screwed together to prevent leakage.Order this unit two size bigger than you think you need if you desire regular-sized cups of coffee.

I have owned a few cheaper stove-top mocha coffee makers and I really wanted to replace my current cheap model with a much better high-end quality one. I took a risk on this one because it had no reviews and must have been newer to the market, but ding, ding, ding. I am very impressed. First, I was very impressed with the weight of this unit. I could immediately tell that it was a quality pot because it weighed nearly twice that of all other units I have owned (with equal cups producing). The handle is also not real wood, but feels like faux wood, which I like. Because the handle will be getting constantly wet from cleaning, I don't want to worry about fading, chipping, or molding. It also feels great in the hand. The extra faux nub on the lid is perfectly designed, in that it will allow you to grab quickly with your thumb for holding while pouring or equally quick lifting of the lid. Many other pots have a nub on the lid but are made out of metal and if you use them regularly you know they can get very hot to the touch. This design is just smart and avoids that all-together. My older cheaper product leaks if I don't hold the lid down tight and this unit has no leaking plus has a better more quality pour out of the wide mouth. Love that. Here is the biggest thing that I love about this pot - it makes great quality coffee! Normally I use a strong fresh ground espresso bean coffee when using one of these type coffee pots, and get the strength that you would expect. When I have used a milder bean in the past I could easily tell the difference in bean strength. Well, I used my milder bean on my first use of this new pot, and the coffee tasted 2X stronger than my espresso beans using my older pot! :-O. I couldn't believe it at first so I cleaned the unit and made another pot and experienced the same thing again. I cant wait to try it with my espresso beans. Lastly, the price of this unit makes me feel like I am getting over on the seller; especially when you compare it with other similar quality products. I can't imagine that this price will stay the same once more customers begin purchasing. Hope this review helps others in their purchase decision making.

As the title says you will not be achieving the pressure nor the temperatures needed to make espresso, and that's okay. Moka Pots are hard to figure out but are rewarding when you figure out how to make good coffee. That being said there's a lot of things that can go wrong with moka pots with a lot of the variables making for bitter terrible tasting coffee. three of the biggest variables are as follows: pressure, grind, and water. pressure is needed in order to operate the moka pot, as such you need to make sure that the two chambers are properly sealed, through trial and error I have determined that you should not tighten the seal using the provided wooden handle but instead should grip the top and bottom portion like two ends of a cylinder, this properly and evenly seals the gasket and doesn't leave it canted. when the moka pot starts spitting steam you need to take it off the heatsource immediately. The next step is water quality, the resulting coffee's taste is highly dependant on the hardness of the water you use, I suggest using bottled water if you have hard water where you live, I personally haven't looked into whether filtered water will work though i can't imagine it wouldn't. Finally grind size of the coffee is important, if you use espresso sized coffee grounds you will choke the moka pot and the coffee will be over extracted and bitter, conversely if you use drip sized coffee like you get with folgers then you're going to under pressurize the system and under extract. in my experience i suggest putting whatever coffee grinder you're using to roughly the midpoint between drip and espresso leaning towards drip if you must. these tips will get you further on the path to making good coffee with any moka pot.As for this moka pot itself a couple caveats I've noted are as follows: the stainless steel design while sleek makes for bad heat flow from the heat source to the water. while the aluminum moka pots eventually form a patina of aluminum oxide the underlying aluminum has better heating characteristics. That being said it does good enough to make a decent cup of coffee reliably so this is only an issue if you're pretentious enough to take your coffee making to the next level. I personally found that the safety valve leaked at the threads, to be clear the valve itself had not activated due to overheating or overpressurization, to remedy this I simply used some teflon tape on the threads and made absolutely sure not to cover the safety valve opening.It's taken about 5 months from when I bought this moka pot to a point when I could reliably make a good enough cup of coffee that I can enjoy drinking. I feel that this journey is rewarding and figuring out your own method to be worth the cost. That said this is not a replacement in my life for a drip coffee maker that I can use before work, I do plan on taking this camping with me though, that should go well I expect.
