Bellemain Stovetop Espresso Maker, Italian Moka Pot, 3-Cup Red

I really love this moka pot. It's big enough to make a large cup of coffee, strong as I like. The products has a feel of quality, and some features I love. Intentional or not, the threading of the dispenser is perfectly aligned with the safety vent, making it very easy to start the threading when assembling the pot for use. Exactly two turns in, the spout aligns again with the safety vent when fully tightened. The high capacity water reservior means more delicious coffee. And it looks like a real Italian Moka Pot!

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!

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!

I needed a new one so I purchased this one, looks like okay quality, but it did have a small part that look like it was dropped. Other than that I have to use it and see how it brews.

Arrived quickly. Well made and easy to use. Makes great coffee.

Makes a perfect cup of coffee, just like the one I had in Italy and France. I am so happy with this purchase, and I would buy it again to gift.

The perfect way to marinate your house in the aroma of strong coffee and the deliciousness of coffee is a great way to start any day.

This pot is just ok. I've used it for a month now, and the threading on the chamber isn't very high quality. As a result, it's often difficult to get a good seal. On occasion, coffee will leak out of the side because of it. I've used moka pots for many years -- this isn't a premium one. And if you get one grain of coffee in the threading, then you're going to be cleaning up your stovetop to mop up all the coffee that leaked.

Estaba inseguro sobre la capacidad y elegí la de 12 tazas. Me encantó! La de 12 tazas es enorme en comparación con mi vieja cafetera de 4 tazas que tenia! Muy buen material y acabados. Funciona muy bien a fuego medio/bajo. Definitivamente la recomiendo.

Al principio me pareció una muy buena opción, ni tan cara ni tan barata para una cafetera italiana pero no la he utilizado ni 10 veces y así es como se ve por dentro, no es de calidad, ya se desgasto muchísimo. Gasten un poco más de dinero en un producto que valga la pena.

..pero en realidad es de buen tamaño, dos tazas de café bien servidas. Muy buena compra, llevo varios meses con ella y no se ha roto, y el café sale muy bien.

Hay que curar la cafetera por lo menos 5 veces. Al menos es lo que me tomo a mi para que el café no supiera a metal. Muy buena y el café sale bien.

Funcional y muy duradera
