Zulay Moka Pot Espresso Stovetop Coffee Maker - Leak-Proof, Stainless Steel, Easy to Clean, Heat Resistant Handle & Knob - for Authentic Cuban & Italian Style Espresso - Makes 12 Espresso Cups - White

Difficult to rate the Zulay as coffee making is labor intensive but, coffee taste is exceptional Taste is comparable taste to my French press so that’s a plus. Some problems are: -no manual. Had it not been for YouTube it would have been much worse. -No guidance on how much coffee to add for brewing by strength etc. Be patient as it takes a while to brew on an electric stove. -no guidance on how to know when pot has completed brewing. Something about listening for a ‘gurgle’ to signal brew complete which I have listened for intently on various brews but have never heard. -cleaning/washing vessel is easy enough however, emptying grounds is a pain. -great appearance and seems well made. No noise in use. -arrived in a timely manner. -fair price.

Love it. I use a small burner and it's the perfect size for this pot with a plastic handle. It works great. And is perfect for 1 or 2 cups of espresso . I prefer this method vs having a large cumbersome appliance taking up my precious countertop real estate space. It was shipped quickly and was packaged great. If you are looking at a Moka pot this one is great.

I've bought and returned 5 so claimed Espresso Coffee Pots, but THIS ONE is the only one that is the "REAL" thing. I was born and raised wilth my Cuban family and know what a real and good Moka Espresso Pot should be and look like. This is the ONE! The Zulay Moka Pot Espresso maker pours perfectly into your mug without any spills. It doesn't leak like the others do while perculating. The base of it doesn't turn black when put to the heat as the others do because they are poorly made. The Zulay is made with GREAT quality and solid. You can tell even by the weight, but also the care that they took into making it. They give you a lifetime guarantee and their own phone number with the hours of work if you need anything. WOW! What a difference when you actually get the right one and made with such great care and good quality. I'm so glad that I didn't give up. I almost did, as all the others are like tin. The handle is sturdy and away from the pot so you don't get burn or it gets hot. It's GREAT! I love it, and every time I make espresso coffee it's easy, no mess, and tastes AMAZING! Thank you Zulay family for making such great quality Espresso Maker. You don't get such service and qualilty now a days, but this company deserves the praise. This is AUTHENTIC and not made cheaply. It comes in a very professional box with great instructions, although I don't need them, being raise in a Cuban home I know how, but it's wonderful for those who don't. I will put the pictures to show you how it arrived and the care that this company took into making it. It also was extremely FAST shipping, and I don't have Prime. Thank you for your work, and may God bless you, your family and your wonderful company.

I had purchased a 6 cup moka pot a few years ago while I was single and when I began a serious relationship I got my partner hooked on moka pot espresso. We are now married and i figured it was time to upgrade to a 12 cup moka pot so I wouldn't need to brew 2 pots for us to enjoy a cup of joe together when we choose to partake in a rich, flavorful, strong cup any day we choose. Its exactly what I was looking for and works just as it should and we also look forward to having this with us while camping as well. I honestly could've gotten a 9 cup moka pot and been happy with the outcome but I do not regret going for the 12 cup. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A 12 ESPRESSO CUP MOKA POT (12 SHOT ESPRESSO), NOT A STANDARD CUP BREWER. We like the flavor of the 6 shots each in our home brew and this makes even Folgers taste better than a drip maker does BUT I highly recommend you find a moka ground coffee that you like or great a grinder and make your own from your favorite beans. We love Illy classico but have recently tried Cafe La Llava espresso and truly enjoy the flavor also. This is an amazing way to brew coffee and it's just the right amount of pretentiousness for us to feel upper crust. I only gave it 4 stars due to the obvious smell of machining oil which required washing it 3 times plus 2 dry runs of brewing water to remove the oil before I was able to use it. For the price and size it was well worth the effort. I will NEVER go back to a common campfire percolator coffee pot for camping nor will I use a "pour over" setup which is just a more in depth drip coffee method and more or less just putting lipstick on a pig and calling it a lady. I like my drip Brewer BUT I love my moka pot

Best Moka pot I have owned. Sturdy, especially the handle. Brews a great cup of coffee. I recommend paper filters that fit this pot, if you don't like ANY grounds in your cup. It is natural for a Moka pot to do that, but the filter will eliminate the problem.

I really wanted to like this moka pot because I love strong espresso and the Italian stovetop style, but unfortunately this one didn’t hold up well. The 3 cup size is much smaller than expected, it barely makes enough coffee for one small cup, so keep that in mind if you’re buying for more than one person. What disappointed me most is the quality. This is only my third time using it, and the handle is already melting, even though I’m using it on a regular stovetop and not high heat. That’s a big safety concern and not something I expect from a product meant for everyday use. The coffee itself tastes fine, but between the size and the handle issue, I don’t feel confident continuing to use it. I wouldn’t repurchase, and I’d recommend looking for a sturdier option if you plan to use a moka pot regularly.

This works fine enough, but it absolutely leaks like crazy - both while on the stove and while pouring the coffee into a cup. I've just accepted it's leaky and I have to do a little extra cleaning after using it. The color is cute!
