never thought i could make great coffee until...
my wife purchased this one for our family. initially, i looked at the darn thing and noted, "really, can this really make espresso, coffee, or what have you. I have drunk coffees from the far east(shanghai) to as far (west) roma, and never in my wildest dreams would i have imagined myself ever creating some of the best espresso ever." however, i did one rare morning, reading the instructions not once, twice, but a few times as i was boggled that alessi just needed low heat to brew the stuff of the gods.
first initial cup, "oh my, oh my" this is way to heavenly to be espresso. perfect temperature. perfect brew. and strong at that. okay, i was hooked like an ahi. you won't regret it purchasing this item. lastly, i think alessi would make a perfect gift, a gift that i would only consider giving to my wife. but alas, my wife beat me to the punch and i am totally indebted to her for a life time or two.
Beautiful design
Purchased this in Italy. It's a more elegant design as it ingeniously snaps closed rather than screws together like other stovetop espresso makers on the market. It's made from steel rather than aluminum, which I am told improves the durability over time.
The complaint about the amount of coffee made is silly and shows the buyer did not understand what a real espresso serving size is. This maker does not make American style coffee, and the portions are measured in espresso cups, not eight ounce or larger cups.
I love it!
I bought this in Italy and I have been loving it ever since! It is easy to use, easy to clean, and makes great espresso
