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

Very easy to use product something that I was studying online to make sure everything was OK. Awesome loved it. The only issue I had was the size, I should have bought a bigger size, if you’re using this to make coffee and not just espresso The size may be too small. The quality and the taste of the coffee were amazing, the aluminum didn’t interfere in the taste of the coffee at all. Very easy to clean, but should be cleaned quite quickly because it is coffee. It stains everything unless you clean it quickly. I learned this trick that if you put 100° water in it as you prepare everything else, that speeds up the brew time quite significantly.

Purchased this at under the $20.00 price point. That said within that framework, it is a great deal. I have seen the exact same unit selling for 3X that so I don't know what the story is. It makes about 1.5 NORMAL coffe cups if you want to use it for regular daily brewing. This type of "machine" brings out the full flavor of any fine grind coffee, even cheaper ones. Two scoops of grind, water to the bottom of the threads, (yes you can cover the valve, it won't explode!), and you get a great cup of coffee, plus a warmer.

I have switched from a Nespresso to a classic stove-top alternative! Even though my Nespresso is a faster alternative, I genuinely enjoy this little pot for a slow morning! Pros: -Brews rich, strong espresso-style coffee at home -Classic moka pot design feels authentic and timeless -Easy to use once you get the hang of it -Works great on gas and electric stovetops -Compact size, doesn’t take up much space -Much more affordable than an espresso machine -Perfect for Cuban and Italian-style coffee Cons: -Takes a few tries to dial in the grind and heat level -Handle can get warm if left too close to the burner -Not ideal if you want large amounts of coffee at once -Needs hand washing (no dishwasher) Overall: Primula Classic Stovetop Espresso and Coffee Maker is a fantastic option if you love bold, traditional stovetop coffee. It’s simple, affordable, and delivers that strong café-style flavor without the cost or clutter of a machine. A must-have for moka pot lovers.

For background, I used a Bialetti Moka Express for many years but it started giving me more and more trouble, I was always replacing parts, it made coffee inconsistently despite me trying all kinds of tricks. Eventually I gave up and made coffee other ways. Then a few months ago I was visiting a friend who was using a no-name moka pot which seemed to work great for him, and it reminded me how much I loved this style of coffee. So I decided to try this one. I've been using this Primula model pretty much daily for about 3 months now. It makes good coffee every time. The six-cup model is perfect for one cup of very strong coffee, which is what I drink. There are a couple design divergences from Bialetti, presumably for copyright reasons. Some are inconsequential, like it being ten-sided instead of eight. However, the Primula spout design is a pain. The spout has a little lip on it that forces you to pour the coffee very slowly; otherwise it runs down the side of the pot and spills everywhere. This is a small but consistent annoyance, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. If unlike me you can pour patiently it won't be an issue for you.

Goodbye microplastics, hello delicious coffee! In an effort to find a healthier, quick, easy to clean, and more economical way to make our morning Joe we purchased this classic pot. It’s super easy to use, and helps us to slow down and be more mindful in the morning. Yes it’s an “espresso” pot, but it’s perfect for coffee as well. Be your own barista and purchase this, you won’t be disappointed.

Works well, makes a nice coffee

I love that its easy to use and makes delicious coffe and espresso. I've not had any issues with the multiple uses I've put it through. Other reviews mention the handle melting and I've not experienced that at all, they have clear instructions on how to use it and what not to do.

Why? There is a reason coffee makers have advanced from the days when cave dwellers made coffee with a Moka Pot. They didn't have electricity. I do. I only gave this thing three stars because it either makes horrible coffee but a fantastic mess OR I don't know how to properly use on despite the immense amount of time I have wasted watching this person or that person use one and smile ear to ear while tasting the non-selective chemical herbicide this thing makes. I poured some on a weed, it died before I got in the house. I bought this on a whim. When it arrived, I was excited to try it out. My mother had one of these years ago when I was just a child who knew nothing of these things. Apparently, I still know nothing. I washed it, dried it, added the amount of water and coffee to it and popped it on the stove. I put the burner on medium low and waited. That wait was excruciating. A watched Moka Pot never Mokas. When I put the pot on the correct burner, it still took a long time. I left the lid closed and listened for a slight gurgling sound to signify it was done. I opened the lid. It spewed coffee a distance of nearly 2 feet out of the holes in the vertical percolator tube thing. It's a coffee sprinkler for the kitchen. Cleaned up the mess. Cleaned the pot up and tried again. This time I left the lid open. I saw DARK coffee ooze out of the percolator tube thing holes for a little bit then some beige foam started coming. I quickly closed the lid and took it off the burner. After a few minutes, I poured the roofing tar in to my cup and tasted it. Wow. Strong. Bitter. The perfect part of getting up is NOT Folgers in your cup made with a Moka Pot. Yuck. I dumped heavy cream into it and that helped. That was about 20 minutes of anticipation followed with twisted facial expressions and a drive to a convenience store for a cup of less crappy coffee. After several attempts that included various amounts of coffee, I have decided the coffee maker I normally use is easier, cleaner, takes the same amount of time, and produces a moderately decent cup of coffee. I'll be headed to a local coffee roaster to get some advice on how and what to brew with this thing. By the way. I started another Moka Pot of "coffee" this morning. The lid was open. I was washing a couple of dishes when I heard the sound of a spew. Yes, that is a sound. There was coffee on the floor and all over the stove. I'm glad I don't have carpet on the kitchen floor. It's Sunday and I'm day drinking. Don't judge.

Excelente cafeteira, sabor especial, deixa a casa com um aroma de café que traz todos pra mesa, o café tem um sabor diferenciado, Excelente produto.

Me encanta !

Terrible coffee maker. Filter size inappropriate and allows the coffee powder to contaminate the decoction.

This Moka pot is outstanding. The coffee flows smoothly without any issues, creating a rich and dense crema that rivals a professional setup. I’ve noticed several reviews complaining about the plastic handle melting, but I must emphasize: this is a Moka, not a defect! If the handle burns, it’s because the gas flame is too high. To get the best results, you must use a small flame for a slow, steady extraction; otherwise, you risk scorching both the handle and the coffee itself. For those looking to elevate their brew, here are two professional tips: 1. Pre-heat the water: To avoid "toasting" the coffee grounds while the pot heats up on the stove, fill the base with already hot water. 2. The Valve Rule: Never fill the water above the safety valve. It’s a crucial safety feature and affects the internal pressure. The craftsmanship is in perfect Italian style, offering excellent value for money. One final golden rule for longevity: NEVER wash it with soap or in the dishwasher. Simply rinse with hot water and wipe with a cloth to maintain the seasoning of the aluminum. Pros: • Extraction: Smooth flow and great crema. • Design: Iconic and functional Italian aesthetic. • Value: High-quality materials for the price point.

This Moka pot is a great pick if you're into espresso-style coffee but don’t want to shell out for a fancy machine. It’s super easy to use—just add water and ground coffee, pop it on the stove, and you’re good to go. The coffee it makes is strong, rich, and full of flavour—perfect for fans of Cuban-style brews. It feels pretty sturdy for the price, and it’s easy to clean too. Just note: the “cup” sizes are espresso cups, not regular mugs, so a 6-cup version will really only make about 2 small cups of strong coffee. Also, be careful with the plastic handle—it can melt if it gets too close to high heat. All in all, if you don’t mind the smaller serving size, this is an awesome, affordable way to level up your coffee game.
