Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've owned a few stovetop espresso makers over the years, and this is my favorite so far - cool comfortable rubber handles, the stainless steel will not corrode over time like another one I bought (which was beautiful but made of brass and eventually rusted). Looks handsome, works properly, and is easy to clean. Also doesn't use an internal rubber seal like the others I've had, which is great because a rubber seal can become a mess and I had one melt on me. I guess this one is precision-made well enough that it doesn't require one, because it works perfectly with no mess or splattering.
I didn't have the explosion experience that other commenter mentioned - if that happened, very likely you need to poke a pin through the steam escape valve in the bottom canister or run the device with just water to clean it out. If that bottom valve is blocked it'll make a mess of any stovetop maker. You may also just have a faulty item.
Full disclosure: I only paid $20 for this at Macy's (they have some great deals in the basement, especially over the holidays), but I would pay $50 for it. At that price I might start looking at espresso/cappuccino machines instead, but for a stovetop maker this one hits the bulls-eye.
Go for it!
