Product Description
The stovetop espresso maker (caffèttiera) is the preferred way to prepare espresso in Italian households. Its traditional two-chamber design relies on steam infusion to produce a rich, full-bodied brew. Just fill the bottom chamber with water, fill the insert with ground coffee, and heat on the stovetop until the water boils. Bring the sleek, hand-polished stainless-steel pot right to the table for serving. Top the coffee with frothed milk for cappuccinos and lattés. This espresso maker by BelluxTM is suitable for gas, radiant, and electric stovetops, and it provides a pressure-release valve for safety. Its high-quality construction includes a heavy-gauge, 18/10 stainless-steel body and stainless-steel filter basket. Washing the pot by hand is recommended for best results.Stainless steel is a far superior material to aluminium for espresso coffee makers, as it is chemically inert. The fruit acids in brewed coffee react with aluminium to shorten the life of the stovetop coffee maker and create off flavours. This stovetop coffee espresso maker by BelluxTM is made from deluxe 18/10 gauge stainless steel for a long lasting, reliable performance and much better tasting coffee. Also available in 2-cup (4oz) & 6-cup (12oz) versions. Product description provided by Brandcentre©

I had a 12 cup Apollo aluminum stove top espresso maker. It worked fine but I got this one since it seemed like a better quality model for the same job. I like the fact its stainless steel for a few reasons. One its heavier and seems to distribute heat more evenly. The second is the fact that it tastes less tinn-y. It's a bit of a hassle cuz the filter and rubber ring (gasket whatever) is not tightly fitted so it comes out every time and so you have to make sure its in the right place before you screw the top on. This 10 cup is only enough for about 2 average mugs of coffee so don't expect 10 cups. Overall I'm very satisfied with this purchase and recommend it anyone with a small kitchen with no counter space.

I bought this to replace our italian style hexagonal aluminium pot and its a really good replacement - the finish is superb and its precision engineered so that the top and bottom are easy to screw together - this may sound strange but I have tried many in shops that are difficult to screw back together as they are not so well made - something I find very irritating as many were more expensive than this one. It also makes great coffee as you would expect and you get no steam on your fingers when pouring, as the lid is solid and fits well not just resting in place ... 10/10 thanks
