"Italian Gem" 2009-12-21
By C. Ribando
So far, this little puppy really works well. It is simple to set up, makes a great pot of coffee in about 5 minutes, and is easy to clean and maintain. Hard to beat for the price. After trying it out a couple of times, we purchased a second one, so that we can simultaneously make a pot of regular espresso and a pot of decaf when the whole family is here.
One precautionary note, make sure that top and bottom are screwed together very tightly to prevent steam from escaping through the O-ring at the junction of the two parts. Also, I suggest not leaving it unattended, as it would probably overheat after the water has percolated out of the reservoir. And finally, be careful when handling, in that the exterior does get hot and requires some time to disassemble before reloading or cleaning.
It is also suggested to buy the appropriate size for the number of cups you would typically expect to make. It may be difficult to set it up for a partial pot. So if you typically would want 6 cups, then don't be tempted to buy the 9 or 12 cup percolator. Also, it makes sense to invest in some spare seals (O-rings), though the shipping cost of these exceeds their price.
"Great Coffee" 2009-12-21
By David C (Las Vegas)
The Moka Express makes great tasting coffee quickly and easily. I was very pleased with how easy it is to load, use, and clean. I have no complaints and the money I have saved by making my own coffee in the past month has easily covered the cost of the Moka Express.
I have only one regret, I wish I had purchased a larger version. The 6-cup version does not produce 6 cups of coffee. I have the 6-cup version which is usually enough for me, but if you have friends over I doubt it will be enough. Although it only takes ~12 minutes to make the coffee, it also takes time for the machine to cool down before you can refill it and make more. However, I assume larger versions will take longer to produce coffee as you must always make a full batch (you can't use just 25% water & 25% ground coffee, you must always use 100% of both). If you are purchasing this for just one person, the 6-cup should be plenty.
In conclusion, this machine is great, but make sure you purchase the right-sized one for your needs.
"Works but not perfect" 2009-12-12

It makes a fairly good cup of coffee in about 4 minutes. But not 6 cups and not even 2 cups. Because you have to use fairly coarse grounds the coffee is not espresso strength so you can only dilute it so much. If you use finer grounds you will get more sediment in your coffee as there is no paper filter. Even with a very coarse grounds you get a fair amount of sediment both in the percolator and in your cup.
"Just like Italy" 2009-12-12
By Cathy Gyselbrecht (Sunnyvale, ca USA)
This product is very simple to use and makes great coffee/espresso. After little effort we have a hot drink that tastes just like that we had when traveling in Italy last month. I only wish I'd bought the bigger size as it would have been enough for one large, steaming, strong, cup of coffee for two.
"Pretty cool little espresso pot" 2009-12-10
By B. Abbott (Denver, CO)
Having read all the reviews out there, I chose this one from the start, so don't really have anything to compare with besides what I would get at "stirbucks" or "MacDonalds" but, this coffee pot is pretty easy to use. The instructions were a little iffy, but the pictures lead you well. I went w/some of the reviews on here and got espresso roast coffee, warmed up my milk and syrup and put this baby to the test. It actually tastes really well, I am still working on the syrup ratios, but that has nothing to do with the pot. I think the vanilla latte tastes just as good as from the expensive shops...very pleased. Now if I could only find the pumpkin spice mixture at my grocery store :)
