  • Sometimes century-old tech still works!
First off, this design has literally been around for a century and as such, there are few moving parts, very little complexity, and it doesn't require electricity. This makes it super easy to clean. Second, it is small. Unlike the one I remember my Grandmother using back in the day, this makes 3 cups of espresso, and espresso cups are small. I included a picture for scale. I used to have a regular drip coffee maker, then a smaller version of an espresso/cappuccino like you'd see in a fancy coffee shop, and then settled on a Keurig. That spanned about 30 years of my coffee making history. The Keurig is starting to have scaling problems despite every method I had tried to descale it, and before I bought another to replace it, I thought of getting something like Grandma had. I was skeptical that I was retiring a $100 appliance with a $6 one that could use regular coffee grounds. It's super simple. Unscrew the bottom and fill with water up to (but not covering) the safety valve. Place the funnel that holds the grounds in it and add 2-3 tsp of ground coffee. Screw the top on and put it on the stove. (I set it a little off-center so the handle doesn't get hot on my gas stove.) On medium heat it takes about 4 minutes for it to start brewing, and 30 seconds later you can hear it gurgling, which means it's done. If I'm in an espresso mood, I pour some into a little glass and metal cup. If I want Americano style coffee, I dump the entire contents into a coffee mug and add hot tap water to dilute it down to regular strong coffee. It's cheap to buy, cheap to operate, easy to clean, and easy to use. I no longer leave a Keurig plugged in all day on the chance that I may want a cup of coffee. I don't have to buy wasteful k-cups. I load this with water and grounds, put it under the fire, set the timer for 4 minutes, and go back to what I was doing. When the timer goes off I come back into the kitchen, watch for it to start brewing, and then turn it off a half minute later. Once it starts it brews quickly as the water only passes through the grounds once, unlike perked coffee. If you like a good cup of coffee at home, I suggest giving this a try! 16 months later, it's still going strong. It doesn't look as pretty anymore - a combination of daily use for over a year, as well as someone putting it in the dishwasher when I wasn't looking. But it still works great. If I want to speed it up, I let the sink hot water run until it gets piping hot and use that to fill it. With that step I can get the cook time to just under 3 minutes. If you work form home and often just want to make a single cup of espresso or coffee, this is a great way to do it. ... show more

  • Better Late than Never (or, A Late Start is Better than No Start)
Warning...Rambling review by an old geezer...read only if you have too much time on your hands, lol... Turned 77 this Christmas and just recently discovered the joys of Moka. I love strong coffee...drink my coffee black, my espresso straight, and enjoy fooling with my Aeropress...and was totally blasé about moka pots. Weirdly, a scene with a moka pot in an action K-flick (making espresso outdoors with a small camp stove) piqued my curiousity, and thus began my odyssey into the world of moka pots. Thank you Netflix movie Ballerina...lots of John Wick style revenge action by the petite protagonist, and if you like strong kick a-- female leads, this is a good one! Check out the opening scene to see if it's your cup of tea, err espresso lol. After researching and watching way too many YouTube videos, I looked to Amazon for something cheap to fool around with. And here we are with the subject of this review: the 3-CUP IMUSA MOKA POT. The key word is "cheap" as I only wanted to test the waters. Incredibly, I snagged this Imusa for less than a Starbucks flat white...a fraction of the $30 for a Bialleti. Surely a moka pot for less than $5 must be poor quality right? Wrongo! What I got was solid, nice build quality, highly polished, equal in appearance to pictures of Bialleti...and proved every bit as functional. It even has a real silicone gasket, unlike Bialleti's rubber gasket that always hardens and cracks, as revealed in many videos. Imusa made it right and gives us a louder bang for our buck. In one "Top 10 for 2023" list on YouTube, Imusa was #1 and the original granddaddy, Bialleti Moka Express was #8. $5 vs $30...go figure. With clear ideas of what I wanted, I invested the good part of a morning brewing 12 test pots to decide on the brewing process for me. The constants were the coffee (Lavazza Italiano), the grind (mid-fine), water quantity (touching the relief valve), and the heat (medium, then off after 1st drops). I must confess having a strong bias for generations-proven traditions over new techniques. So instead of coffee experts like James Hoffman, I trusted hosts who learned moka from their mothers or grandmothers. I also wanted to learn about Cuban coffee. Cubans adopted the moka pot (cafetera) as their own to make cafecito, their own sweet version of espresso (imo, the best dessert coffee hands down). Cafe Cubano is a big reason why Miami makes the list of top 10 coffee cities in the US. After my tests, I decided to use the classic methods that have worked for generations of Italian and Cuban families...including a couple of steps that many consider disputable (even wrong). Going against common advice, I pack my grounds. Unlike the classic Itallian method, Cuban families have packed their grounds for generations. Don't think "tamping" which is typically 30 lbs pressure for espresso...think "squishing." As one Cuban host said "We like it strong and dark, so we fill it to the top and squish it down, and fill it some more." Using a 54mm dosing funnel, I overfill a couple extra spoons, stir with a WDT tool, then pack (squish) it down to the top of the funnel. I consistently get a creamier, smoother, overall better coffee...that's a little bit closer to true espresso...with no increase in bitterness using proper heat management (keep it to a dribble). For me, packing the grounds is a must and no one will convince me that loose is better. Following (blindly?) coffee guru Mr. Hoffman, many have been jumping on the bandwagon and preaching as gospel to use preheated water...based on some "theory" that using room temp water will "overheat" the coffee grounds while the water heats up, resulting in a bitter brew. Huhh? Coffee is roasted between 180 to 250°C (356 to 482°F) for up to 20 minutes. Is it even rational to believe that a few short minutes in the low temperature of the moka pot while the water is heating up (less than 100°C) will overheat the grounds enough to alter the extraction? Doesn't that just mess with your common sense? After four test pots, my palate couldn't detect any difference. I believe that the palates of those preaching this would also not be able to taste a difference. In fact, one host admitted he couldn't taste a difference, but just recommends preheated water to speed-up the brewing, lol. It's an EXTRA (and unnecessary) step folks. Stay off the bandwagon and just do as generations of families across Italy and Cuba have done and still do...just fill your pot with tap water (filtered if your tap is bad). I'm blessed to live in a city with tap water from deep underground basalt aquifers that annual independent testing (Purdex) prove purer than every bottled water tested, including big names like Aquafina, Crystal Geyser, Dasani, Fiji, Pure Life, and others. Do I regret ignoring moka pots till now? Yes. But as my headline suggests, I'm thankful and delighted to be starting now. If you're sitting on the fence, take a leap of faith and jump into the world of moka...start enjoying a different style of coffee. The price of admission is just one Starbucks drink. My $5 Imusa is as solid as they come and I don't feel a need to upgrade (spend more). I look forward to brewing gallons of joy before I'm done, one demitasse at a time. I can't wait for my moka pot get that used patina like those dull, well-seasoned ones in the videos. And like the millions of moka pots drying on sinks across Italy and Cuba, my moka pot will also never be touched by dish soap. Lol... ツ ... show more

  • Easy, Cheap, Great Espresso that takes little space
I have a Ninja Coffee maker and it does great, but I really felt the darkest coffee still didn't get espresso taste. I was looking at compact espresso makers, because I still need my Ninja. Finally, saw this stovetop maker and the counter space savings and reviews were great. This is a three cup maker and does an awesome job . Make sure the parts are attached tight, don't let the handle hang over the heat source. Excellent espresso! ... show more

  • 3 cup is Small and light
I know espresso cups aren't the same as regular coffee cup measures but 3 cup model is SMALL volume. It is ~100 MLS max or it overflows the escape valve. That is roughly one puck. In my grinder set to 16 (breville) espresso grind I set 2 shots and it was about 1 and a half of the basket. So I made a second. For me, this is one basket is one serving at most. The small base size meant I used smallest gas burner set to medium low to hit the bottom of the base without flaring out to hit the handle, and I offset it a little as well. This took several minutes then to heat up. Taste was good. No crema but richer than drip or pour over and richer than french press but much more work. I would definitely opt for at least 6 cup version or even 8 cup if you want for two people or even a double size. It is good for small travel, but I'd still prefer larger size. Like other say, since it's aluminum, hand wash no dishwasher. No need to use soap after first wash off of oils. But getting coffee out of metal filter needs some tapping and fussing with. ... show more
