SIXAQUAE Moka Induction Stovetop Espresso Maker With Pressure valve,Crystal Glass-top & Stainless Steel Esprosso Moka Pot,240ml Classic Italian Coffee Maker

Like many people, we have been using a k-cup coffee maker for many years. We keep hearing more and more about "forever chemicals" and "micro-plastics" that have negative health effects, and for the most part, I was ignoring those stories as all my life we have been using plastics. Recently I made a cup of coffee, and as soon as my coffee was brewed, I noticed a film on the top of the coffee, similar to an oil slick. We clean our machine very well after every cup of coffee, so this really made me start to think about the hot water and all of the plastic that it touches in our k-cup coffee maker. As I was looking for alternatives that had no plastic, I seen this stovetop espresso maker and decided to give it a try. The directions were easy to follow, and it took me about 7 or 8 minutes to make a "cup" of coffee. I normally make a 12oz coffee, and this maker only makes a 6oz. I really liked the flavor, and I don't mind that it takes 7 to 8 minutes to make if that means that I'm able to do so without having any plastics involved. If they made this to where it would make up to 12oz's at a time, it would be perfect. If I eventually find one just like this that will, I will order it. In the mean time, I ordered a stovetop percolator that can make up to 8 cups of coffee at one time. I have tried it and it works fine, but I definitely like how this one works a lot better. If you like small cups of coffee, then this stovetop espresso maker is perfect.

I bought this 240ml-P model because of its upgraded pressure valve that claims to brew a better tasting cup of coffee and it does! It takes a little while to dial in the best grind size brewing temperature etc. I like to brew at a low temperature grind not too fine without tamping much. I've tried lots of moka pots over the years all stainless many costing over $100 and one thing I've learned is a $200 dollar moka pot isn't any better than the next one unless the principal changes and this one does that it seems to brew better because of the added pressure valve simular to the aluminum Bialetti Brikka. This is a good quality Moka Pot it's the best I've ever had and the customer service is fantastic, I like it a lot!

this was to replace a Delonghi Alicia that i've used for years. Problem was that the top part it is plastic & had to be replaced numerous times. Wish they'ed make a better top... Went for this cause of the glass top. Would like if they'd give instructions on use & care. Been using it for weeks & works decently. I've had to do a thorough cleaning every 3-4 times to make it more efficient... I do like how it makes "noises" when close to being done so i don't have to eagle eye it. so far, worth while...

This worked well at first out of the box but within a couple weeks not so much. No I have to buy another model but this one is garbage. Even carefully limiting how much water it has, too much water leaks out the valve on the side and thus reduces the amount of water going through the grounds and up the tube to the top. Additionally, the extra valve on the top of the tube stem is a great idea but in practice it just creates a blockage that forces water and then steam out the valve on the side. This leads to only half a pot of coffee and a mess of water on the stove top. If you fiddle with that thing while it's cooking it helps -- but you should not have to stick a fork or spoon in there and it seems a little dangerous to do so. Finally, if it's not perfectly clean and perfectly threaded water and coffee leaks out through the threads. It's easy to keep clean but the threading is difficult to "feel" is perfect and if it's not perfect it just doesn't work at all. This thing is a good idea but a huge disappointment. I now have to buy another model and so would not recommend this one, though I wish I could

I have had a couple of Bialetti moka pots over the years. They get so crummy looking and the innards erode. I am very happy with this purchase. Not only is the espresso it produces delicious but the little pot is adorable and maintains its beauty. I very much like the glass upper portion to be able to see the percolation occuring. The unit is well sealed. The glass is thick and resistant to breakage. The lower metal portion maintains its shine. Easy to use and easy to clean. This size of moka pot makes a 20 oz cappuccino for me (coffee plus half steamed, half frothed milk). *Update - the one frustration I have is the unit getting completely dry. I'd wash, disassemble, allow it to air dry and the next time I'd use it, there would be moisture. I uploaded a photo to show how I'm completely taking it apart, including the gasket and edged filter now after washing. I also use a straw brush to clean the siphon tube. I just don't want germs lurking. All this and I still do enjoy it two to three times a week. I just hope the gasket lasts well.

I have had this for a couple weeks now. I got it because my work only has a Keurig that makes really crappy coffee, no matter the pod. I was looking for something I could make espresso type coffee. Every time I use this, the steam slips out the side. I have tried it super twisted tight and finger tight, there's still some steam that escapes every time. It's annoying because I get to clean up the coffee spray after every time I use it. It makes a good coffee though.

I had my doubt at the biggening since all these I had before were aluminum and this one is stainless steel and well made. I have 6 months with this one already and all I have to tell is this is a good product.

Little bit hard to clean it completely but it does its job! Great espresso shots every time
