With the invention of the stovetop espresso Coffee maker, espresso long a staple of Italian cafes and bars became available for home consumption. As the cold water in the lower chamber heats, the pressure from its boiling forces the water up through the Coffee grounds. In just a few minutes, espresso emerges from the spout into the upper chamber as the pot hisses and gurgles. Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand until the lower chamber is releasing only steam. The lower water tank holds a metal filter and features a safety valve. The upper tank fills with perfectly brewed Coffee. Now Italy’s favorite aluminum coffeemaker can go to work in your kitchen, making delicious espresso on gas or electric stovetops. Watch your espresso rise with the convenient lid window.

One Star plastic view window fell out second time i used it, cheaply made
nixay After about six uses the “cute” little Vista window cracked off from it’s holding screw. That level on top is part of the holding mechanism for the window and when you try to use it to open the top it sticks and probably excerts too much pressure on the holding screw. Very disappointed.
Still have not used it but I am familiar with this kind of coffee makers and it looks great. I ordered it as my sister’s family will … I ordered it and came in time. Still have not used it but I am familiar with this kind of coffee makers and it looks great. I ordered it as my sister’s family will be spending a week with us and I will have to prepare espresso for many of us. I am sure it will work well.
