Zulay Classic Stovetop Espresso Maker for Great Flavored Strong Espresso, Classic Italian Style 5.5 Espresso Cup Moka Pot, Makes Delicious Coffee, Easy to Operate & Quick Cleanup Pot (Dark Gray)

The product seemed well-made to look at; however, it felt much lighter than my current 6-cup Aldi ‘Kirkton House’ pot, despite having a higher capacity.On filling up and screwing together, the connection grated as if it was metal-on-metal rather than a softer closure that would indicate the rubber gasket inside was being compressed - so maybe the manufacturer hasn’t used the right thickness gasket, or it is just poorly made.In use, it took several minutes to get steam up and the liquid didn’t flow up smoothly as it does with the Aldi model - it came up in spurts and didn’t even seem to boil all the liquid, even after being on a medium heat for 5-6 minutes at boiling point.Even after so much time the upper pouring section was only half full and provided enough liquid to make 2-3 cups of coffee, nowhere near 8 cups!Sadly, very poor performance by this product, which I am returning. Will have to wait for another Aldi Specialbuy to come up!

It is a good Mokka pot. It's made of aluminium so if you wash it in your dishwasher it will discolour. This does not matter but looks odd. So hand wash it as they advise. Personally think the quoted size is one cup too great but the question is "2oz cup" - filled to where - espresso is often delivered in a French or Italian cafe no more than half full. A measure quoted to the max fill line (the safety valve) would allow better direct comparison with competitors. And metric units would be nice too. Most of the world except USA use metric. Still a good Mokka put though and it pours well.

Good product and well made for the money. The coffee is good I purchased it for use in a caravan. I have tried it using the same beans as I use in my professional coffee machine. Be warned though when it has finished percolating don't lift it off the heat source and place it on a work top. I placed mine on a wooden chopping board and it imprinted the shape of its base with a nice burn mark. retains the heat well. Would buy again.

Along with my favourite Hebtroco double black blend, my morning coffee starts the day beautifully. Effortless making, satisfying gurgling and plopping noises, great smells and easy to clean afterwards, I couldn't recommend this highly enough....I hope we are going to be together for many years to come!

Very good quality make sure you use good quality coffee great result
