Ilsa Stainless Steel Neapolitan Drip Coffee Maker with Spout, 3 ESPRESSO Cups 10 oz.

Some of the best coffee ever. Very smooth. The trick - let the water cool 20 to 25 seconds before flipping over.

That's the technique to using this great little coffee maker. The inside coffee holder insert has an indent, and that indent needs to be lined up with the steam hole when you assemble the coffee maker. When the indent and hole are aligned, it won't spurt hot water on your stove when you flip it over.This little coffee maker is really easy to use, and unlike James Hoffmann, I get a great cup every time with it. Ground coffee goes in the holder, water goes in the boiler part, put it together, put it on the stove and wait for it to just steam, flip it over and put it aside, wait for the coffee to drip down inside. No problem. Delicious.

I bought it at about half price from Amazon Warehouse. It was dinged and one of the parts had to be sanded down to fit properly, but now it works fine and I'm pleased. Elevates the taste of ordinary supermarket coffee. The brew is similar to that of a moka pot but the apparatus is easier to clean thoroughly.

I love it. It is well designed, sturdy, and attractive. It will last for years. I grew up with one of these. I was not sure about the size description; "3 cups." It makes just about 4 oz of espresso. I was concerned about the metal handles as opposed to something insulated. These are long, and the pot needs to sit on the edge of a gas flame to be concentrated in the center. The handles are not a problem when it comes time to flip it over. It makes great coffee, the way I like it. I tend to pack down the grounds before putting the cap on. My only recommendation is that the description should list ounces or ml as opposed to "cups". Whose cup? Demitasse? Espresso? American coffee/tea?

The pot makes excellent strong coffee. Something different than we're used to but worth a try.

Could not get this coffee maker out of the box because the spout had broken through the THICK cardboard box. Indication that item itself is probably damaged. A sticker on the box indicates that it was manufactured more than two years ago, in August 2021. Old merchandise, evidently kicked around. It's going back for a refund.

Best coffe maker ever! Not other method extracts so much flavor from the coffee. Strongly recommended!

I like it, only I remember the old one were stronger ;-)
