Milano Stovetop Espresso Maker Moka Pot 3 espresso Cup - 5oz, Red - Cuban Coffee Maker Stove top coffee maker Moka Italian espresso greca coffee maker brewer percolator

This is great for an overlanding and camping coffee maker. I have been experimenting with all kinds of coffee makers for camping for a few years now and this is the best I’ve discovered so far for ease of use and simplicity while in the wild. The process of high steam pressure makes some strong coffee. That’s why this is primarily an espresso maker. However, this also makes a great solo cup of regular coffee but you might need to cut back on the beans. I have also found that the slower you boil your water, the stronger the coffee, so if you put it directly on top of a flame and it runs fast then it’s not as strong. If you want to make a 12 oz cup of regular coffee then the 9 cup version is perfect size with the water just below the steam check valve. I use this with a small butane burner and it works great.

I waa very surprised and pleased at the quality of this little espresso maker. It's just beautiful. I purchased it in blue. Seems very well made. Has been used daily for four months now and performs very well. I'm back to purchase another one for a gift.

This moka pot is as much about the experience as it is the coffee — and I love it. The GROSCHE Milano Stovetop Espresso Maker looks incredible, especially in red. It’s a conversation piece, and I genuinely enjoy bringing it out when we have guests. It feels classic, well made, and has that timeless stovetop espresso vibe. There is a learning curve. It’s definitely a process, and the first few brews take some dialing in. Once you get the hang of it, though, it’s a lot of fun and produces a really enjoyable cup. One tip that made a big difference for me: pre-heating the water in a kettle before adding it to the base. It speeds things up and helps prevent burning the coffee on the stovetop. Now that I’ve got it dialed in, it’s become part of our routine — we enjoy a cup from it almost every weekend. If you like hands-on brewing and appreciate the ritual as much as the result, this is a great piece from GROSCHE.

This makes a good cup of moka and will work on an induction stovetop. The coffee is strong and smooth and the cleanup is fairly easy. The 6 cup size will only fill about a cup and 1/2 for a regular cup.

I was very happy with my #4 filter Melitta single-cup drip cone, but I saw a similar coffee pot in Tucker Carlson's kitchen and he praised it so highly that I decided to look into them. His was the Bialetti; but they don't make a 9-cup and after TOO much time trying to figure out sizes (they are apparently referring to small espresso cups, probably 1-1.5 oz. at best), this brand at least had the courtesy to translate that into how much coffee each pot might actually brew. I was concerned about the aluminum and looked into stainless steel (not as stylish but that one feature probably would have made it worth it) but then I read about the special ANODIZING process that the aluminum is submitted to, and that the Italian government certified the Bialetti (and I'm gonna guess that the Grosche is just fine, too). In the end, it was the aesthetics and being able to get the 9-cup size that sold me on the Grosche. So I've now had three morning cups of coffee. I realized it might be tricky getting the heating small and low enough on my electric range, so I also purchased a small heating pad that was only $20. That needed to be prepped by heating outside for 15-20 minutes to off-gas the horrible plastic smell, and that took me a couple of days to get done. This morning was first day using heating pad. Now I don't have to worry about burning it up. Brew takes roughly 7-minutes so I set a timer to remind me to check for "gurgle" that indicates the coffee is done. I like mine with lots of cream (yes, cream, not half & half) and I sweeten with Stevia drops. This coffee IS so much richer than what happens with the too-short burst of hot water through the Melitta. That 7-minutes of heating and steam before filling the upper chamber really makes the difference. Almost dessert-like. As for cleaning, I put only 4-stars. Yes, it is easy to rinse out (all that is needed) but nothing is as easy as just throwing away a filter full of grounds. But that is a small price to pay for such elegant coffee. I'm thrilled.

I love this little pot! There is only 1 coffee drinker in our family (it’s me) and this makes a perfect cup of coffee. More like an Americano, my fave, I just add a bit of hot water after the shots are pulled with some half & half and I’m good to go! Clean up is soooo easy.

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.

I have many mokapot espresso makers (from Italy) of different sizes and this is the first one I buy that doesnt work.
