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

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 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?

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.

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

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

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.

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

Cannot use to make my coffee!Would like to have it replaced with one that works properly.

The media could not be loaded. Llegó a tiempo, las piezas ajustan bien y no tiene fugas a la hora de voltearla, ademas de verse muy bien expuesta en la cocina.Al usarla por primera vez me di cuenta que la base era demasiado pequeña para montarse directamente en mi estufa, pero eso se arregló hirviendo el agua aparte y depositandola en la pieza que iria en el fuego para darle la vuelta inmediatamente. Ademas, esto tiene la ventaja de evitar calentar el café molido antes de la extracción, lo que mejora el sabor.El tamaño de molido necesario es un poco mas fino que una cafetera de goteo, por lo que usar un molino de café dará mejores resultados que usar el café molido comercial.

Caffettiera dal design essenziale e priva di parti in plastica. Si pulisce facilmente solo con acqua, Rispetto alla moka fa un caffè meno forte ma più aromatico. Attenzione: i fori sono più larghi e, usando il caffè macinato in commercio, qualche granello potrebbe depositarsi sul fondo: per evitarlo, conviene chiedere in torrefazione la macinatura apposita per la napoletana, che è un po' più spessa.Ottima anche per il caffè d'orzo (il tipo tostato, non quello solubile).

I was looking for a pour over coffee solution for one person that didn't involve filters and slow pouring, this is perfect.Very easy to use, easy to add exactly the same amount of coffee and water each time for a consistent cup of coffee. Also easy to make single cups to try new types of bean/grounds.Do not fill past the small hole or it will spill. Experiment with fine/medium ground coffee til you get the filter time you want.This is one of my best buys for espresso-type strength for americano, latte or just good strong coffee!!

Simple d’utilisation, pour un café plus costaud que le moka classique !

Esta cafetera es tan especial e inusual que llamará la atención de todos en casa y de tus invitados.El mecanismo es muy parecido al de una cafetera italiana normal, se coloca la cafetera "al revés" (es difícil de explicar con palabras, pero en las instrucciones vienen imágenes que lo dejan todo muy clarito). Evidentemente se le quita la tapadera que tiene, se coloca al revés en el fuego (¿véis por dónde debe servirse el café una vez preparado? Pues eso en el fuego ha de ir bocabajo). Una vez que el café está hecho se le da la vuelta y se coloca del derecho y se espera que el café baje un par de minutos, y ya está, ya tienes el café listo para servir.Parece complicado pero es muy sencillo, sólo que no tiene nada que ver con las cafeteras italianas a las que estamos acostumbrados, y ya digo que a los que nos gusta el café, hace ese "ritual" todavía más placentero si cabe. Los nespresso estarán muy ricos, pero carecen de toda esta "artesanía" que le dan al café un punto adicional especial.La cafetera es pequeñita, da de sí para 3 cafés tamaño espresso muy cargados o uno para taza más grande un poco más largo. Tamaño ideal para una sola persona por la mañana, que no me gusta tipo americano pero tampoco tan cargado como uno espresso fuerte.
