Customer Reviews
So many of these little aluminium coffee makers are supplied with a lousy rubber seal which either doesn't seal or falls out when you invert the top-half of the machine to screw it on - or both. The problem with this is that you lose half (or most) of the water and not enough pressure and subsequent heat builds to force the flavour out of the coffee grounds.
The seal in this machine is a good quality rubber and a good fit so does the job well. Lots of pressure builds up when on a high heat and this results in a good thick coffee. The maker produces the equivalent of a good double espresso when filled to the little copper safety screw in the water chamber and the coffee at this volume is a bit thinner. Just the right strengh coffee and just the right amount for an espresso or to dump into a half-mug of hot full-fat mild.
A good tip for perfectionists and those in a hurry is to boil the water before putting it into the water chamber. Obviously you have to hold the chamber with a towel in order to screw the top half on but the result is coffee within about 30 seconds of placing the pot on the stove and also a better flavour because the dry coffee isn't super-heated by the stove before the water boils and passes through.
Perfect!
I bought this as a present for a friend who is keen on both decent coffee and camping. She loves it
It does need to stand on a stable flat surface - rather than the standard metal hob support - but you can get a "ring converter" to stand on the hob; but a small frying pan would do the same job!
