Zulay Moka Pot Espresso Stovetop Coffee Maker – Leak-Proof, Stainless Steel, Easy to Clean, Heat Resistant Handle & Knob – for Authentic Cuban & Italian Style Espresso – Makes 3 Espresso Cups – Black

This is the PERFECT ONE! You don’t need to search anymore!
I’ve bought and returned 5 so claimed Espresso Coffee Pots, but THIS ONE is the only one that is the “REAL” thing. I was born and raised wilth my Cuban family and know what a real and good Moka Espresso Pot should be and look like. This is the ONE! The Zulay Moka Pot Espresso maker pours perfectly into your mug without any spills. It doesn’t leak like the others do while perculating. The base of it doesn’t turn black when put to the heat as the others do because they are poorly made. The Zulay is made with GREAT quality and solid. You can tell even by the weight, but also the care that they took into making it. They give you a lifetime guarantee and their own phone number with the hours of work if you need anything. WOW! What a difference when you actually get the right one and made with such great care and good quality. I’m so glad that I didn’t give up. I almost did, as all the others are like tin. The handle is sturdy and away from the pot so you don’t get burn or it gets hot. It’s GREAT! I love it, and every time I make espresso coffee it’s easy, no mess, and tastes AMAZING! Thank you Zulay family for making such great quality Espresso Maker. You don’t get such service and qualilty now a days, but this company deserves the praise. This is AUTHENTIC and not made cheaply. It comes in a very professional box with great instructions, although I don’t need them, being raise in a Cuban home I know how, but it’s wonderful for those who don’t. I will put the pictures to show you how it arrived and the care that this company took into making it. It also was extremely FAST shipping, and I don’t have Prime. Thank you for your work, and may God bless you, your family and your wonderful company.

Perfecto!!! 1 Cup = 1.3 ounces….
Let me first set Moka Pot coffee expectations properly for newbies.1) 1 cup is roughly equivalent to 1.2 – 1.4 ounces. So a 3 cup pot can make about 3.8 ounces of coffee. The actual amount can vary slightly depending on your fill level and how well you control the heat in the final 20-30 seconds2) Moka pots are specifically designed to brew fix amount of coffee. Don’t try to brew a smaller portion by using less water or coffee – it will mess everything up. The amount if coffee in the holder must be set to the top, never pressed hard. This level governs the pressure and amount of time the water passes through the coffee. Changing these variables changes the amount of extraction. Also, too little water in the boiler will change, lower, of the water temp of the extraction. All these things, including grind size, will change the result. Just buy the sizes that fits your needs.3) Grind size matters to the brew. Finer grind, more surface area which is good for fast brewing methods unlike French Press. Too coarse, less surface area’ weaker coffee. Too fine, like expresso fine, the grinds can clump and the water will not pass through like an expresso maker because it uses much less pressure.4) Watch it closely, and when the liquid begins to pour out, lower or remove from heat, and let the rest press put beautifully like a fountain as you watch the last liquid begin to run clear. See attached photosPro: this Moka Pot uses a silicon gasket unlike Bialletti which uses rubber. Rubber can get hard and disintegrate over time, and sometimes can leave a foul taste. Silicon is better.Lastly, remember making great coffee in one of these is both an art and a science. It takes patience to perfect the method, including the right grind and beans, but that is part of the fun

Just made my first cup with this and it was brilliant! Only neded the hob on number 3 and it was ready in no time at all (i did use hot water to start though) 3 teaspoons of fresh ground was enough for three very strong shots of coffee. Its well enough made but lacks the perfect finishing of a much more expensive version. Finish aside it works and looks great.

Good product and well made for the money. The coffee is good I purchased it for use in a caravan. I have tried it using the same beans as I use in my professional coffee machine. Be warned though when it has finished percolating don’t lift it off the heat source and place it on a work top. I placed mine on a wooden chopping board and it imprinted the shape of its base with a nice burn mark. retains the heat well. Would buy again.
