 Good value February 25, 2007

The one feature I especially like about this pot is its wide bottom. It's very stable and doesn't teeter on a gas burner like some others (i.e., the "Ilsa") do. The handle doesn't get burning hot like metal handles can. It has a straightforward design and is easy to disassemble and clean. I have been making stovetop espresso in pots like this for 15+ years and this is one of the most satisfactory pots I have had. A good value.
 Great expresso maker February 6, 2007

Use med.-low heat for gas and you are ready in 11 minutes. Make sure the stainless steel filter is always facing in the right direction or the expresso maker will leak. Be aware that they are talking about expresso cups (demitasse 2.5 oz cup) and not the savage sized coffee addicts cup we Americans are use to using. Also, most civilized people add milk at a ratio of 1:1, so if you make five demitasse cups of expresso (12.5 oz.), then your coffee maker should produce around 6 oz. of pure expresso.
 Will need to buy another espresso machine ... March 17, 2006

I bought this 4-cup Venus stainless steel Bialetti product after using a similar aluminum one that I loved in Italy. It does not perform as well.
If you can wait 25 minutes for it to make you ONE cup of espresso (even though it says 4 cups, there's no way it would make that much), then this might be ok for you to buy it. I thought it would make at least 2 cups, but it doesn't. The water doesn't go all the way out of the bottom part, no matter how long you leave it for - after 25 minutes, you have one cup...I would take it back, but I can't be bothered. Will be buying another one for sure - maybe this time an automatic espresso maker.
