Diego Stovetop Espresso Maker Stainless Steel Italian Coffee Machine Maker 6Cup 10 oz Moka Pot Induction Espresso Pot

I just received this today so keep that in mind. However, I really like it. I needed this because my partners Bialetti crapped out on me and became stuck closed so I can’t put grounds in it. Maybe it’s just me being weak, we’ll see if he can open it when he comes home from a work trip but I even used a hammer trying to get it to budge and it will not. So I ordered myself a smaller one to use. I like that this is Stainless Steel. Wouldn’t have thought the Bialetti to be aluminum but apparently it is and I prefer to stay away from aluminum if I can help it. I did read the reviews for this before I bought it. One guy who gives it less than 5 stars does have a couple valid points but I can get over them. One of them is the groove along the bottom of the liquid coffee chamber. It does seem like that will be hard to clean but this is just for coffee and I tend to rinse out the container after every use. We’ll see how it goes. The other somewhat valid point he has is that there is no silicone covering any part that you might need to touch such as the handle or the top piece to lift the lid. I don’t find using a towel to grab any of those pieces as a huge inconvenience so I’m okay with it. So far though it has not been an issue. When I used it this morning the coffee brewed very fast, between 3-5 minutes and those two pieces were actually not too hot. The actual lid to the top chamber was hot but I could still grab the middle knob. The guy also complained about the rivets for screwing on the top chamber, I had no problem with that. It was way easier to screw on compared to the Bialetti. All in all, this is a great coffee maker, works very well, good value for being stainless steel. Perfect size for me. I think it will last a long time too. Oh, I also saw people complain about rust. Stainless steel is rust resistant, not rust proof. I think this will continue to be a very nice piece if I just let it dry out completely and not keep liquids in it for extended amounts of time.

My husband has been wanting a little more caffeine in the mornings. Stronger coffee seemed to be the answer. He was looking at different machines. I decided to buy him this espresso maker as part of his Christmas gifts. It had great reviews. Price was decent. Arrived in its own packaging, which I didn't like. My husband found it on the porch so he already knew he was getting it. I was disappointed by that. Anyway, it's easy to use. Before regular use you brew coffee 3 times to "clean" it. No need for soap to wash. You can rinse it of course. Simple to take apart and put back together. I bought the 10oz option in black. Good size for us. I bought Death Wish Coffee whole espresso beans to use. We already have a grinder. Easy process. Easy to follow instructions. Takes maybe 5 minutes to brew. Coffee is strong and very good. It's small and doesn't take up space like a whole machine would. We haven't had any issues with it. My husband is very happy with it. We've created a whole coffee bar now and this was a great addition.

The Easyworkz Diego Stovetop Espresso Maker is a well-made and stylish moka pot that delivers rich, bold coffee. The stainless steel construction feels sturdy and durable, and it works great on induction cooktops, which is a huge plus. The 12-cup capacity is perfect for making multiple servings at once, and the brewing process is smooth and efficient. The coffee it produces has a deep, full-bodied flavor, very close to traditional Italian espresso. Cleanup is also fairly easy, thanks to the polished stainless steel interior. The only downside is that the lid hinge feels a bit flimsy compared to the rest of the build, and it could be more secure. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of. Other than that, this moka pot is an excellent choice for espresso lovers looking for a high-quality, induction-friendly option. Would definitely recommend!

Coffee tastes wonderful. Nice quality Stainless Steel in all parts. Functionally easy to use and perfect size pot at 6 cup / 10 ounce. Can make a really strong cup! I will say though, my first order apparently I was sent a used one that was opened in a ripped box and with finger prints all over it but I just returned it for a replacement and stated so. Be careful that the safety switch is located in the middle of the Moka Pot AS IT SHOULD BE (and NOT directly under the handle in a defective pot--as it was in the first one that I returned). They say it's fine wherever the switch is located, however, on the off chance if the safety switch is activated and hot steam happens to shoot out--and if your hand is above it -- you'll probably get burned. I still give this 5 stars!!

The Easywork Diego Stovetop Moka Pot makes an amazing mocha that tastes smoother and better than drive-thru out-to-coffee. And its much more economical than an out-to-coffee mocha too, even with the cost of a bag of good quality coffee beans right now. It is attractive and stays looking nice. The lid is durable and doesn't flop around or seem like it wants to fall off, like my Italian moka pot lids did. It is weighted nicely and doesn't have any weird chemical "smells". I rinse it out with cold tap water and a swish of a baby-bottle cleaning brush after it cools down after each use. The filter seal gasket seems durable. I cook my coffee on an electric stovetop burner on medium heat and remove it from the heat once the coffee has steamed into the top of the moka pot. I would like to know what gasket Easywork recommends when it is finally time to replace the gasket. I like the fact that I can control my ingredients---from the beans I use to the chocolate, whipping cream, sugar---or none of that stuff. I personally like to add steamed 1% milk and a couple of tablespoons of Ovaltine Chocolate Malt powder and a spritz of whipping cream to mine. A very healthful start to my morning... *humor* well, at least enjoyable, depending upon what I add to the espresso created by this lovely moka pot. I this is the fourth moka pot I have owned in 20 years. The other three are fancier Italian brands that have been relegated to the camping equipment in the basement storage area.

Makes great Espresso, works well with induction cooktop. Stainless steel makes it super easy to clean. Handle stays nice and cool, so no worries about burning yourself. Pours great without drips or spills.

I recently purchased the Easyworkz Diego Stovetop Espresso Maker, and unfortunately, my experience with it has been far from positive. While I had high hopes for this espresso maker, a few major design flaws have left me frustrated. First, the threads on the base are extremely difficult to screw into the top. Every time I try to assemble the pot, the threading feels stiff and rough, making it a struggle to get a secure seal. This not only wastes time but also raises concerns about long-term durability as the threads seem like they might wear out or become damaged over time. Secondly, the lid has a metal knob that becomes painfully hot during brewing. This is an absolute design flaw. If you want to check on your brew mid-process (which you often need to do to prevent over-brewing), you're risking burning yourself. The knob gets so hot that I had to use a towel or pot holder to lift the lid, which is just inconvenient and dangerous. Lastly, the bottom of the pot features a large lip that traps coffee grounds, making it incredibly difficult to clean. No matter how thoroughly I try to scrub, coffee residue always seems to get stuck in this lip, leading to a grimy buildup and making the overall cleaning process a real hassle. It’s clear that cleaning was not a priority in the design. All in all, I cannot recommend the Easyworkz Diego Stovetop Espresso Maker. The poor threading, dangerously hot lid, and difficult cleaning process make it more trouble than it’s worth. I will be returning it and looking for a better-designed espresso maker. If you want something to look good on the counter, this is it; if you want to brew coffee, look elsewhere.

Really nice quality, heavy bottom of the pot for better heating. Made a wonderful affogato,really enjoying the maker
