The Moka Express is the original stove-top espresso maker from Bialetti, created in 1933. Most Italian natives agree that stove-top preparation makes the most delicious espresso. The cast aluminum pot features the distinctive eight-sided shape that diffuses heat perfectly to enhance the aroma of your coffee. To use, simply fill the lower chamber with water, fill the filter with your favorite espresso grounds, and boil on the stove-top. As an added bonus, this set includes three white rubber replacement gaskets and one filter plate. 72 ounce capacity

Reliable.
I take it with me everywhere. Hotels without stoves, I carry a hot plate. Overseas, I do not have to buy a converter either. If you like strong, expresso coffee, you simply cannot beat this for the price. it functions somewhat like a percolator by boiling into the upper chamber. However, the water must first boil up through a sieve and through the coffee in the upper chamber. it is easy to clean. I have used my every day for almost 10 years. I did buy one replacement gasket in that time.I have drank good coffee in Europe, Australia, and north Africa. This Bialetti will make coffee just as strong and as flavorful without the $1000 price tag.

Already broken
I bought this on February 10th and the coffee holder is already broken. Very flimsy construction. Is not made of one piece and the stem just snapped of when I cleaned it. Very disappointed. The month of February isn't even over

The spout is not good
The coffee tastes fine, but it seems to spill half of the pots contents when I pour the coffee. Whoever designed the spout failed me. I think I am returning it pours so badly. I tried all different pouring methods I could and it still didn't pour right. You know that feeling when you pour liquid out of the wrong container into another cup? Well, it's not a good feeling when you are not expecting to have to clean up the counter after making a nice pot of coffee. They blew it.

Defective
Filter cup inside the base stuck almost every time. After several days, I could not even get it out. Was so mad I threw it out. In laws emptied the trash while I was upset. So could not return it. However, the point is, the item was defective and should have been discovered when it was built. So beware of this normally good item.

Exactly what I wanted
I really like that it is a thicker metal than the ones I looked at in stores. After receiving it, I washed it out and tried it for the first time. It made my espresso very quickly and without mess. The final product tasted wonderful.

Unreliable and faulty
Unfortunately, this espresso maker is unreliable and faulty at that. I've used it three times to give it the benefit of doubt, and it proved it sucks! It takes a full twenty minutes to percolate expresso. You are better off purchasing at EspressoZone.com.
