Imusa 3 or 2cup Electric Espresso Maker, Teal

Good quality
Good product

Best Cuban espresso maker!
After purchasing a few stove top models, I decided to try this. I wasn’t disappointed at all! It isso easy to use and easy to clean. My espresso didn’t have that burnt after taste, like my stove top model often produces. If i get 1 year use from it, i will be happy. I am Puerto Rican and these colors match our flag and the dominoes represent our culture, also. I will buy these as gifts for my family, because I’m so happy with the quality of espresso it makes.

This machine only makes 3.5oz; not 3, 1.5oz cups (4.5oz total) they advertise.
I like the convenience of using electric versus stovetop. It’s quicker and easier.I don’t like the misrepresentation of the cup size (I would have purchased the larger size.) Again, it makes 3.5ozs, not 4.5ozs. 1oz may not sound like much, but when you’re only working with 3 or 4ozs, it is.I don’t like the very poorly written instructions and the simple lack of some instructions.For example, they state to use a medium grind, it doesn’t work. It needs to be a fine grind, otherwise the water just quickly rushes through the coffee and you get a very weak tasteless cup. You can’t throttle the heat and therefore the rate of coffee flow like you can on a stove top. Because of this the grind needs to be finer to slow the water flow rate so it has time to extract the flavor.The water level differences they give you for making a 1 cup vs 3 cups makes no sense (a 1/4″ lower water level as they state does not change the cups from 3 to 1cup. Always fill the tank to just below the pressure valve. Same with the coffee, fill it up every time; the “1 cup divider” the say to use will again give you a weak cup of tasteless coffee. One last thing, once the coffee starts to fill the upper chamber, remove it from the electric base. It has enough heat to continue pushing the remaining water up into the upper chamber. Leaving it on longer just overheats the lower boiler for no reason.Other than that I like the machine, and it made a fine cup of cuban style coffee. I just don’t like companies that don’t take the time needed to test run their instructions or make misrepresentations.I hope this helps you overcome the shortfalls of the instructions and gives you a great tasking cup of coffee. BTW, I use Starbucks “House blend” ground to an espresso fine grind.

Good for office use
===Smaller 1-2 cup review===Reviewing after my first try, will update as time goes on.From the reviews I was already expecting the plastic head part to not be great, but I’m Dominican so I just had a spare moka pot/greca around and replaced the head with a metal one. Couldn’t find any review that mentioned changing the head so I was worried it wouldn’t fit, but it fits perfectly and works just the same.I also read it brews too fast, but after 5-6 mins it came out pretty well, doesn’t taste burnt to me.Another issue I read was that the metal separator that comes with it breaks easily. I just don’t really use or need it. A pod good 👍===Update 03/6/24: Yes, it leaks a bit when pouring. I personally don’t care but this might be something you should consider when buying this, even with a different head part.

This portable Maker is perfect for at work. I no longer have to suffer the terrible coffee at work. And no I dont let my workmates use it. At this price they can buy their own LOL

The product came with a strange 2 pin plug. I then purchased a European plug as an adaptive but the thin 2 prong plug did not fit into this either. I have attempted to rewrite it into a UK plug. The light comes on but it doesn’t work. Total disaster!
