Mixpresso 9 Cup Greca Stovetop Espresso Maker 450ml/15oz, Moka Pot with Coffee Percolator Design, Red Stainless Steel Stove Top Coffee Maker for Camping or Home Use, Italian Coffee Maker Stovetop

This mixpresso stainless moka pot is one of the better ways to make quasi-expresso. Stainless is less susceptible to overheating the coffe than aluminum. But either material can work, once properly seasoned. Use a coffee suitable for moka pots to learn (Lavaza, Illy). Read up online and youtube to learn how to use it. For my electric stove, you want to minimize burn time. Long high temperature burns the coffee leaving a bitter taste. So fill the bowl with preheated water to the bottom of the brass valve, add the coffee funnel with coffee simply leveled off at the top (not tamped), place the assembled unit on a 3/4 high electric burner, and watch for the clear dark brown stream to emerge in the upper unit shortly after. Once this stream begins to emerge, move 1/2 the pot off the burner to lower temp while keeping a steady stream flowing. As soon as you see a frothy bubbling emerge at the end of the stream, pull the pot off and immediately pour your coffee. There will be some water left in the bowl as it can not draw the water below the funnel end. This pot makes enough for 2 full US coffee cups. A 3 cup version sould be used for 1 US cup.

Camping or If there is no electricity or gas, I will still have my coffee. Perfect for me, Good Product! I like doing things different sometime.
