GROSCHE Milano Stovetop Espresso Maker Moka Pot 9 Espresso Cup, 15.2 oz, Blue. Stove top Coffee Maker Moka Italian Espresso greca Coffee Maker Brewer Percolator

Me llego a tiempo y en perfectas condiciones, la llevo usando por varios meses todos los días, y hace un gran café!

Arrived on time, and nice that it included two extra silicon seals.

I have been using these silicone gaskets since 2020. A pack of three will last you for 2-3 years. They have long durability and do not produce a "rubbery" scent/flavor on the coffee. I like the fact that silicone is FDA grade and that these are made in Italy. This is the real deal in Italy, Portugal, Spain, etc. And they KNOW their coffee. You cannot go wrong with these silicone gaskets and filter screen. I usually use this stove coffee maker to produce similar to espresso coffee quality without a fancy/expensive machine. I use my coffee maker twice a day, everyday. These gaskets last!

My wife and I have been using stove top espresso makers off and on for some years. For the last two years, I've been using a stove top espresso maker daily (started out years ago with a Bialetti moka pot, more recently no-name knockoffs). Just over 3 months ago I was shopping a stovetop espresso maker for my wife after her prior one met an unfortunate demise. Since this was going to be a surprise gift, I decided to upgrade to a proper current unit. I combed through some reviews, and Grosche's Milano impressed me a little bit more than the original Moka, because of the ergonomic handle design, the quality of the aluminum, and the positive reviews (particular the Business Insider comparison review). I purchased a Grosche 6 cup white Milano for her.Upon arrival, I was super impressed! It's very solid, easy to use, easy to clean, and of course the coffee is delicious, (it's hard to go back to drip coffee after stove top espresso). The handle is much better than other models including the original Moka pot, because the design protects your hand from accidentally toasting the back of a finger on the pot, and the material stays relatively cool as well ... A very pleasant ergonomic design.The quality of the metal is impressive. Besides being food grade aluminum, it's a little bit thicker than cheap knock-offs, and consequently heats more evenly. To compensate for the thickness, the bottom and the floor of the boiler chamber are covered in tiny deep radial grooves to better, more quickly transfer the heat from the burner to the water. The coffee chamber on top is well designed, with a lid that has a splash guard seal that fits inside the rim when closed, and is well polished/ finished inside for easy cleaning. The silicone gasket to seal the chamber to the pot is very nice for those of us who remember the original gaskets on Moka models.After purchasing the white 6 cup milano for my wife, I was so impressed that 5 weeks later I purchased a silver 6 cup milano for myself, and I've been using it every morning since for the past 2 months.I will mention that my wife's white model has acquired a patina around the base of it's boiler chamber. The silver version shows no such signs. The silver version appears to be polished, not enameled, and seemingly will last forever. I've included a picture of the silver one shortly after I've rinsed and wiped it half halfheartedly clean ... it looks nearly new without even trying. My sister purchased a blue milano after seeing both of ours, and she reports the blue milano, like the silver milano doesn't have any patina/discoloration issues. My wife doesn't care about the patina near the base of her white milano because it works very well, and it looks good with a bit of patina.

Solid customer support, too. I bought the 6-cup bundled with a milk frother. The frother didn't work, so I requested a return, and simultaneously bought the 10-cup to make more at a time. 5 star service!I understood when I bought it that espresso cups would be smaller than a customary cup, just not by how much. The 6-cup version makes a normal-sized cup for me - just really really strong, and I love it. I upgraded to the 10-cup, and I double brew the same grinds. The 6-cup could still be super useful while camping for the smaller size, though.
