Primula Classic Stovetop Espresso and Coffee Maker, Moka Pot for Italian and Cuban Café Brewing, Greca Coffee Maker, Cafeteras, 6 Espresso Cups, Silver

Great Product!
This little thing makes the best coffee, it is so simple and straightforward!I like that is not huge so I can make just the right amount!

Great starter moka pot.
After working as a barista for several months, I quickly discovered that I was addicted to espresso, be that in shots, mochas, or lattes. However, upon seeing the price tag for espresso makers (and for drinks at Starbucks), I realized that I’d have to be creative to get my espresso fix at home.I shopped around for alternatives and I quickly settled on moka pots. Something you don’t have to plug in? Something that’s cheaper and much less wasteful than a K-Cup maker or a coffee brewer?? Something that does espresso-style coffee (or close to it) that’s NOT $1000??? Sold! I resolved to give it a whirl, and looking around, found this maker.I’m confident to say that this was a pretty good buy, especially if one wants to have a moka pot that doesn’t break the bank. It’s quite reliable and straightforward to wash, though there are a couple of things that do get in the way:- First of all, the size (3 cups) is MERCILESS with handling. It’s definitely a little dance to try and get a good grip on the handle after it heats up. I usually wore an oven mitt when I picked this off the stovetop since I was sure I’d burn myself otherwise.- Second, the plastic handle partially melted over the stove when I put it too close to the center, so it’s pretty cheap in that regard. The rest of it’s solidly built though, and hasn’t rusted or anything despite my not cleaning it too often.- Most importantly, though, it’s a bit too small! While a lot of that’s on me, the other part of it is that the coffeemaker stays too hot to make myself another batch right away, to strengthen any drinks I’ve made.Another thing that needs to be said, too, is that you’ve got to be a bit picky with the grind of your coffee as well. A moka pot needs a medium-fine grind – somewhere between regular coffee and espresso. I’d recommend you buy pre-ground coffee at first (Lavazza Qualita Rossa is a great one to start with) and if you’re willing to commit, then get a coffee grinder and go nuts!With that all said, I’m likely to try and pick up a better quality one sometime soon that’s a bigger size now that I’m a full convert. Still, this is by no means a bad product, especially if you’re unsure whether a moka pot’s right for you or you have a college student budget.

The larger the Better
These taller, larger non electric stove tops are sooooo much better than the smaller ones. My 12 cup, plastic handle does not melt off or get hot. I can put my hand ON THE HANDLE, pick it up and pour. The smaller ones melt off, too close to the fire, you’ll burn your fingers. Get the large 12 cup and put less in. Well worth the money. I bought two, they both melted. I didn’t buy a 9 cup I bought the 12 and I love it!

Mi café preferido es el de la Moka de 1 taza; la prefiero sobre cualquier máquina de espresso (automática, semiautomática Gagia, o manual). La Primula es tan buena como la Moka, pero cuesta una cuarta parte. Quizás no es tan linda y la calidad de los acabados sea menor, pero el café es igualmente perfecto.Como cualquier cafetera de este tipo, tiene sus puntos a favor y sus puntos en contra. Siendo el mayor problema el tiempo que toma producir una buena taza.Puntos a favor.1) Taza con cuerpo, aromática, fuerte y compleja2) Lo más cercano a un espresso, sin tener que desembolsar miles de pesosPuntos en contra.1) Es difícil de limpiar2) Tarda bastante (si no quieres que sepa a café quemado y usas fuego bajo)3) Sólo una taza pequeñaConsideracionesEn mi opinión, obtienes un mejor café de la de 1 taza que de cualquier otra, pero no da para compartir. Para mejores resultados, es importante un buen molino de fresas para asegurar un café fino y consistente. Recomiendo usar agua caliente (95C) para llenar el depósito; aceleras la infusión y evitas la sobre-extracción del grano.
