For the Best Espresso
Forget those expensive espresso machines, if you want the best espresso you need to do it the old fashioned way like they do in Italy. I've had this moka pot for 6 months now and I love it (so does my GF). This, along with my electric milk frother, makes some of the best cappuccinos and lattes. So much so I have friends who have gone out and bought one of these as well. The following are a few tips for preparing espresso and also caring for the moka pot. 1. Low and slow. As others have mentioned, you have to brew this on a low flame. I use the second to the lowest flame setting on my stove and it comes out perfect every time. Too high a flame and you may scorch the coffee. Likewise, if the flame extends out past the bottom of the pot, you run the risk of melting the handle. So take your time, let it happen naturally and you'll enjoy a prefect espresso every time. 2. This is a cast aluminum pot. That means it will oxidize (rust). All aluminum will oxidize given time (just like stainless steel will rust under the right conditions), but cast aluminum is even more prone to oxidation. As such, I recommend you do not use any sort of dish soap when washing this. Soaps typically have chemicals and such that can cause the pot to prematurely oxidize. I use hot water and a clean cloth to wipe it out, rinse, then dry it off. That's it. And so far my pot has remained rust free. 3. Coffee. The biggest aspect of making a good espresso, good coffee. Don't skimp on the coffee. Use quality espresso grinds (or beans if you grind your own). This is not a Mr Coffee drip so don't use a drip coffee maker type coffee. It's in the beans, so don't be afraid to spend a little more for a quality espresso grind. 4. If you've never tried it I highly recommend you try a Caffè corretto. That's a standard cup (demitasse) of espresso with a shot (1oz) of Sambuca mixed in. A true Italian espresso. Yum!

Wonderful and functional Moka pot
Not only is it incredibly easy to use and at a nice price point - it makes excellent coffee! This is a convenient and fun way to get a different taste/texture to your brew. And if you are a curious, coffee crazy connoisseur like myself - it's a "must-have" device for experimentation. I have had good results with any roast level, freshly ground beans and was pleasantly surprised how much more flavorful some light roasts can become. The "trick" with this method is to just know timing/water level and amount of grounds, but that is all adjustable to your own preferences. As with most coffee brewing methods - the only way this isn't foolproof is if you neglect to keep an eye on it or remove from heat soon enough. I also find it is pleasant and easy enough to use on work mornings as well as weekends. From personal preference, the 6 Cup model is also most ideal if you are concerned about size. It can either make one large serving or you can split it out into 2 depending on milk level preference, drink recipe, etc. I can easily get my desired amount in just one brewing or save some for later to make an iced coffee with. Pros: Ample handle is nicely spaced from pitcher to minimize burn risk Heavy weighted base - sturdy feeling design for long term use Easy screw on/off Easy cleaning/maintenance Simple & stylish Only "Cons": Moisture can make filter basket slightly tricky to remove - but not aggravatingly so Depending on how quick your stove heats this can be a 10-15 min process and may not be ideal for some foggy people in a rush. :) For the price and results you can't go wrong if you love coffee as much as I do!

Everything to like! Price and quality
You could spend more on a Moka pot with a fancier name brand, but there's no need to! This Bellemain works exactly as it should, easy to clean, nice coffee! If its not how you like, try adjusting your grind size one way or the other, until it is. The mechanics of this brewer are simple. Recommend using fresh ground coffee, and fresh water. Take it off the burner as soon as it's at the end of the brew!

Perfect Moka Pot
Excellent Moka Pot and just as good as those costing twice as much or more. I purchased the 6 cup version and will get another one soon.
