    This particular espresso maker is ok. I feel that it is made a little cheaper than brands of comparable pricing. The filter attachment feels like it could easily bend. And you really need to tighten the pot together to get the best pressure. Sometimes it does always seal correctly.

    lightweight but adequate to have enough pressure to make okay espresso. easy assembly to load and clean ; threaded bodies go together easily and do not deteriorate. you wont get really strong espresso from it because it doesn't develop enough steam to do that. but it is much better than most low cost espresso makers which really only perk coffee. a good buy

    medium to light construction means cannot contain sufficient steam pressure to get the best flavor , but is better than the flimsiest so called espresso makers which merely perk one cup of coffee. coffee produced is better than perked but not the best. . good value for the low price. screw threads are smooth and easy to start. cleans easily. looks good in black. pouring requires attention as the top leaves little spout clearance, requiring gentle pouring.

    Since I've previously owned a Primula Espresso Maker, I was not much concerned with being disappointed in buying a replacement, and hope to order a 6-cup Primula in the near future for a friend. Ordering was simple and easy, delivery time about what I expected.

    I LOVE MY PRIMULA!!!!!!! With freshly ground coffee this makes a mean espresso and there’s something about the manual espresso that takes me back to a simpler time

    Very nice, but remember it does not hold 6 cups of water. It makes 6 cups of expresso. But if your like me that likes it bold, is more like 3 cups.

    Really only makes enough for 1 or 2 cups. Also, if you don't tighten all the way, it can make quite a mess.

    Excellent Coffee Maker

    Posted .

    This is a moka pot - moka pots make very good, strong coffee, but they do not make espresso (not enough steam pressure). That being said, if you want a great-tasting, full-bodied coffee, this is the product for you! I love this coffee maker. For the people who are disappointed that "it doesn't make 6 cups", moka pots are meant to make small, espresso-sized cups, NOT standard-sized coffee cups. This pot is no exception. It's not fair to downgrade a rating because of this. A couple of hints to make a great cup of coffee: I use the canned version of Cafe Bustelo, and it's just the right grind for this pot. Also, when the instructions say "heat on low", they really mean it! I know it seems as if it will take forever this way, but any higher than low heat and you will either 1. melt the handle, or 2. burn the coffee. This is one terrific moka pot and I am very pleased with my purchase.
