Milano Stovetop Espresso Maker Moka Pot 3 espresso Cup, 5 oz White | Cuban Coffee Maker And Italian Moka Pot For Stovetop Espresso; For Gas, Electric, And Propane Stoves With A Soft-Touch Handle

This espresso maker is easy to use and makes rich, flavorful coffee. It heats up quickly, feels well made, and is easy to clean after use. A great choice if you enjoy making espresso at home. The price is fair for its good quality. The size it’s perfect for a 5 or 6 cups of espresso and so the water capacity.

I really like this moka pot. It makes a strong, rich cup of coffee and is a nice alternative to a larger espresso machine. Once I got used to how it works, it was simple to use and easy to fit into my morning routine. The handle feels sturdy and comfortable, and the pot itself feels well-made. I also like that it does not take up much space on the counter or in the cabinet. The coffee comes out bold and flavorful, especially when I use a lower heat and don’t rush the brewing process. The only downside is that it has to be hand-washed, but that is not a big issue for me. Overall, I am very happy with it and would recommend it to someone who enjoys strong coffee at home.

First, I ordered the three cup and was too small, I replaced it first the 6 cups one. It is not only super cute, it is also great quality, and coffee tastes amazing. Wish I had ordered it sooner.

This is a review, along with some general tips, because using a moka pot is great, but they have some quirks. :) So, the review. This is a pretty good little pot. I ordered the white 9-cup version. It's a little big for my hands - my hands are 6.5 inches (16.5cm) from the tip of my middle finger to where my palm connects to my wrist, right at the bend. I find that I can't quite get my fingers around the sides of the bottom half to get a good grip when screwing the top onto the bottom. I have to hold the bottom from underneath to get enough leverage for a tight seal. Not a big deal, but if you have small hands, or have joint pain, you might want to go with the 6-cup instead (if the base is narrower - I'm afraid I don't know). The threads are a tad rough, but the sections screw together smoothly, and a nail buffer took care of the prickly little machining bits. To me, not a big deal. I've had worse on newly purchased wrenches. The enamel is good. Evenly applied, there's no rough patches, chips, or missed spots. One thing I was disappointed about was the handle, purely from an aesthetic standpoint. I probably didn't read the description closely enough while switching between colors. I had been looking at the black pot, but purchased the white, because it looked like it had a wooden handle. It's not. There's nothing wrong with the handle - it doesn't get hot, and whatever material it's made out of is kind of a 'firmly microfibery' texture that's actually very pleasant to the touch. And it does look good. Just not what I was expecting. That's what I get for not reading the description more closely. My bad. In making coffee with it, it showed an issue that is very common to many, many moka pots, across all brands. A little finagling, and the issue is now resolved (more about that in a minute), and this pots works very well. What issue? It sputtered and spit when the coffee exited the spout in the upper chamber. Now, as I said, this is a common issue, which, I have found over the years, to have a couple of easy fixes. First probable cause of spittering (new word!) - the burner temperature is too high / you're trying to make coffee too fast. I've found the best way to use moka pots is to preheat your water to ALMOST boiling (200-205F/90-95C) in a separate container (pot, microwave, electric teakettle, whatever) then fill the bottom to just below the vent, put it all together (be careful, it will be HOT), then put it on the burner on LOW heat (see pic). I have a gas stove, and the burner I use is actually the one designed for melting butter or chocolate without burning it. It's on a setting of between 2 and 3, out of 10. Yes, that's low. But 3-5 minutes later I have a very smooth flow of coffee that isn't burned and bitter. Yay! Second cause of spittering is a not quite tight seal. This could be because you're not screwing the pieces together tight enough, or (more commonly) the basket where you put your coffee sits just a hair (and I do mean a hair!) too low, and the seal isn't quite perfect. To be honest, I have 4 moka pots (the Grosche is my 5th) including a not-cheap Bialetti, and all but one has this particular problem. (The good one is a $5 yard sale purchase from 8 years ago. Doesn't even have a gasket. Just screws together and works every time. Go figure.) But there's an easy fix. Use 2 wraps of PTFE (teflon tape). See pic on how to apply. Squinch it up under the lip of your basket and you're good to go. Yes, even my Bialetti got this treatment. One more tip - dont tamp your coffee down. Just tap the outside of the basket with your fingers to settle the grounds a bit, and level it off. Just trust me. It works so much better. All that aside, I do like the Grosche moka pot. It's pretty, it feels good in my hands, and it really does work well, if you understand how moka pots work. I would definitely recommend it as good value for your money. Cheers!

I wanted a way to make espresso without paying for a dedicated machine that would be expensive. this works perfectly, and I wanted a 9 cup because it's just the right size for two people to get started in the morning. I'll be searching for an electric one eventually so I don't have to watch it, but this stove top pot can literally work anywhere. I use it on my gas stove and once it's percolating it takes 3 minutes. might buy a larger one. this is also $20-30 cheaper than the name brand so budget wise, a better buy

Nice high quality mock pot. I may have overshot the size a bit but I can always drink more! I use it while camping over a propane stove. I've had no issues. No discoloration or chipping of the enamel. It's more durable than the French press I used to use and easier to clean. Since we camp with a T@B camper space is at a premium and the size of this pot even with my accidental oversized purchase it's easy to store since it's indestructible and you can tuck it into any spot available.

First time Moka pot user so I decided to try this one over the more expensive Bialetti. Overall, I like it so far. Never knew they were as small as they are but it brews great coffee. The flavor is more pronounced and roasty. I bought a manual grinder as well and it is set to slightly smaller than pre gound canned coffee. No issues with brewing on medium heat. I have a induction stove in my apartment so I use a smaller pizza pan on top of it for even heat.

The following is a review for the Grosche Milano’s 6-Espresso Cup Moka Pot: Nicely constructed and attractive kitchen accessory, really appreciate the wooden handle as most other moka pots utilize a plastic handle, which eventually becomes brittle and breaks. The following is a review for the packaging in which the product arrived, which I presume was done by Amazon: The mocha pot arrived, along with another item that was ordered from a different seller, in a simple paper envelope with minimal, if any, padding at all. With the handle of the mocha pot totally exposed in the box that it came in, this presented the possibility that during shipment stress might have been applied to the handle, which, of course could cause damage. After carefully inspecting it, it appeared that there wasn’t any damage, thankfully. I am disappointed that Amazon would ship this item in a manner that would openly increase the amount of risk for damage to the product. This seems to be an increasing problem with many Amazon deliveries, and that they appear to be cheapening their packaging when they ship.

Forget about those expensive espresso machines, my friend recommended this Moka pot to save me the trouble of cleaning it. This, along with my electric milk frother, produces the best cappuccinos and lattes for me. Few tips and suggestions 1. Keep it low and slow. You must brew this on a low flame. My stove's lowest flame setting produces flawless results every time. If the flame is too high, the coffee may be scorched. So take your time and let it unfold organically, and you'll always have a perfect espresso. 2. Decent coffee is the most important part of making a good espresso. Don't be stingy with the coffee. Use high-quality espresso ground(or beans if you grind your own). Harris Strong Coffee Ground is what I use. However, I recently learned that the best way to have a flawless coffee is to use beans, therefore don't be scared to invest a little extra for a good espresso grind (i already ordered one).

I had initially planned to buy a Bialetti moka pot, but some research suggested Grosche Milano product quality was actually better. I went with the Grosche and I'm been very satisfied with it. This coffee maker is beautifully designed with a shiny silver coloured coating over the aluminium body. It looks great sitting on my kitchen countertop. It feels sturdy and well built, with impressive overall quality. Notably, it has a silicon seal which lasts longer than the cheaper plastic seals used by other manufacturers. Most importantly, this product makes excellent coffee every time. Do not compress the coffee grounds; just lightly level off the surface. This will allow the steam from below to pass easily through the grounds. My only complaint is when pouring the coffee, a bit trickles down the side. That's minor though and can be avoided by pouring slowly and as close to upright as possible.

Excellent product. Very user friendly. As a single household member, I found it very convenient and hassle free. Cheers!

El tamaño es realmente práctico, en casa soy el único que bebe café por lo que cuando preparo queda una porción ideal para mí.

Purchased this for easy coffee when camping. Takes aboit 15 minutes on a low heat to pump out a coffee. Does use alot of ground coffee!
