Xpresso Stainless Steel Stovetop Coffee Percolator | South Indian Kaapi Maker | Moka Pot Espresso Maker | Mocha Pot Authentic Coffee Brewer- (6 Cups) 500ml,Silver

The kettle is much less in size than mentioned on description. It's not worth. It's like a toy. It also leaks when using it.

I am a coffee lover and I like to brew my coffee using moka pots! In my collection I have multiple moka pots from various brands including Bialetti. Ordered this particular one from Pigeon brand and after using it I felt that its just about okay from the price point. The build quality is very flimsy and has sharp edges. If one is not careful while washing the base part one can easily have nasty cuts! The inside parts are unpolished and looks susceptible to rusting! Since the base part is made of very thin guage metal, if we use high heat, it tends to warp! Coming to the quality of brewing, this one is not a bad performer if you know how to make good coffee! To get the best coffee out of this we must follow these steps: 1. Coffee powder should be medium ground. If the coffee powder is too fine then its will become like thick paste and will not allow the coffee to percolate into the chamber. I use a blend of pure coffee powder of Arabica and Robusta beans and get it ground to suit moka pots. South Indian filter powder is fine ground and may not work with percolators. 2. To get the best results use hot water. This helps in reducing the brewing time and improves the taste. Please do use low to medium heat else this mocha pot will get damaged easily. 3. Take of the heat as soon as the top chamber is filled with coffee or when you see only hot air is coming out indicating that coffee brewing is done. Please note that it is claimed that this percolator gives approximately 6 standard expresso cups of coffee(30ml per cup). The taste of the coffee brewed largly depends on the coffee powder and this one was able to give me a decent amount of coffee and I dont have any complaints about the yield or taste of the coffee. Just that the build quality is very flimsy and cant expect better quality from a Chinese product. This is just imported and marketed by Pigeon in India! I hope this helps you all in buying and making good coffee !
