Easyworkz Diego Stovetop Espresso Maker Stainless Steel Italian Coffee Machine Maker 10-12Cup 520ml Induction Moka Pot

Worth it

Been looking for the perfect half liter Italian coffee maker for a long time. It's the best I've ever used, I love everything about it - the design, the strength of the coffee.

Inox muito bom, designer bonito, excelente para muitos cafés, mantém quente

Easy to clean, NO unhealthy aluminum and beautiful enough to display. Heats quickly on my gas stove and makes delicious espresso. Love it!

I’ve used Moka pots for a number of years and they’re one of my favourite ways of making rich-tasting coffee. The Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS and the Vietnamese Phin are two others. Keep in mind the coffee made with a Moka pot, sometimes called a stovetop espresso maker, is not the same as coffee made with a professional espresso maker. It comes close so it might be called “espresso–like”, but the pressure it generates is much less so the flavour richness and intensity are not the same.The stainless steel Easyworkz is one of the best Moka pots I've tried. I've been using the Diego model everyday for about 2-1/2 weeks and I highly recommend it.Some reviewers have mentioned several complaints while using this Moka pot. I believe all these issues can be explained and resolved. The following observations and suggestions are based upon my personal experience. Yours may vary.1. Coffee tastes weak or bitter. This is likely due to not filling the coffee funnel to the top with coffee, using the wrong coffee grind size, or using cheap grocery store pre-ground coffee. If you grind your own coffee purchased from a Roaster (recommended), use medium-fine to medium size grind (e.g. #12 – #18 on the Baratza Encore grinder). Use enough coffee to fill the funnel (coffee basket) to the top. Do not tamp coffee.2. Only a few drops of coffee or no coffee came out of the funnel into the upper chamber.3. Coffee and or steam leaking out from the threaded joint.Complaints 2 and 3 are likely due to the two chambers not being tightened firmly enough, and/or tamping the coffee grounds.4. Brewing time is very long. This is likely due to putting cold water in the boiler. Instead, fill the boiler chamber (water vessel) with hot water (from your kettle) – but only up to just under the safety valve. Use a towel or oven glove to handle the boiler because it will now be hot. Place the coffee funnel into the boiler and fill it to the top with coffee. Very firmly hand tighten the top and bottom together (this step is crucial, be sure it is firmly tightened but don't use the handle to tighten). Remember to use a towel or oven glove. Place on stovetop element, Induction top (If Moka pot is made of stainless steel), or gas range between low and medium heat. An extraction time of around 3 – 4 minutes is a good starting point.5. Coffee tasted burnt. This is likely due to the heat being too high and/or leaving the moka pot on high heat after it finished brewing. Adjust temperature so that coffee comes up slowly but steadily, this will help ensure proper extraction. Just as it begins to sputter, immediately remove from heat. Do not leave the moka pot on the hot stove or open flame!6. This is the reason some users have experienced rust spots or flaking on the inside (all the water in the boiler evaporated and the residue burned) or on the underside of the boiler chamber (prolonged heat).7. It takes a long time for the moka pot to cool down. With stainless steel Moka pots it's safe to place them directly under cold running water (lid open), right after coffee is poured out following brewing. This will cool down the Moka pot very quickly.After following the correct brewing steps, pour coffee and enjoy one of the best tasting types of coffee! Personally, I enjoy it with about 2 ounces of heated milk and a teaspoon and a half of honey – Moka Pot café au miel et au lait! The Diego 4 cup model is big enough to make one mug of coffee if you add milk like I do. Enjoy!

Excelente calidad, y el café sale excelente

Acabamos de comprar esta cafetera y después de una semana de uso podemos decir que ha sido un completo acierto. Hace el café rápido y muy rico. Es robusta, con el asa metálica, de buenos materiales. Es muy bonita (esto es subjetivo, claro, pero a nosotros nos lo parece; el metal en contraste con la parte inferior en negro le da un toque), se limpia de forma muy fácil y, en principio, aunque aún es pronto para valorarlo, parece que tenemos cafetera para años. No es la opción más barata de las que te van a aparecer en las búsquedas, pero con la anterior que tuvimos, de aluminio, no acabamos nada contentos. En definitiva, recomendadísima.
