I have been using stove-top espresso makers for years, generally Italian espresso makers, so I was a little skeptical when I purchased this one. I purchased it because I thought that the design is lovely. Also, there is no rubber or plastic on the handle that might be subject to burn on my gas stove. I gave it a test run as soon as I received it. And, boy was I surprised with how well it performs. There was no spurting or spilling over as I poured. I did have to use a potholder to pour the espresso, but I have found that if you wait a couple of minutes, the handle cools off. This espresso maker puts out at least 6 full espresso cups, or fills one large mug. I couldn't be happier with it. After using it for over a week now, at least twice a day, the Cuisinox Roma is not showing any wear at all--in other words, no darkened burn marks on the sides. Very easy to clean, and it comes with a spare gasket, which is a plus. Also included is a screen filter that you place in the filter so that you can make 3 cups instead of 6. I would not hesitate to recommend this espresso maker.

Cuisinox Roma 6-cup Stainless Steel Stovetop Espresso Makeri've had this espresso maker for a few months now & it is Spectacular & worth every penney ! ( never thought i'd be gushing over an espresso maker - in fact, i almost never review prodcuts myself, though i read them thoroughly before making purchases - but here i am . . lol )If you've used stovetop espresso makers in the past, i think you'll find its performance Exemplary & if you haven't, the web makes it very simple to learn. Best of all, this pot makes it Fun.PROS : really substantial construction sleek, elegant design - eye candy ! lol ( this product is amasing actually . . i'm a sucker for things aesthetically & materially Well Done & this pot ROCKS - makes me happy everytime i look at it ! ) 25 YEAR warranty ( how often do you see THAT ??!!! ) delivers lovely cups of espresso in no time, with no mess ( and you can watch it happen - doesn't spurt all over with the top up so you can ) comes with an insert that allows the option of 3 espresso sized cups if you so choose ( about 3/4 cup total ), in addition to its normal 6 cup / 1 1/2 cup capacity comes with an extra gasket as well looks as Beautiful after alot of use as it did out of the boxCONS: Zero that i can seeIt may seem pricey at first but if you love espresso & want something that is just lovely to look at AND that will last, this is definitely the way to go. ( We have used stovetop espresso makers for years & this one trumps all i've come across. The aluminum ones end up looking crummy in no time, plus you really don't want aluminum in your body if you can help it & coffee is a known acidic. And the stainless steel on this one, is not a flimsy layer that's going to wear off. In fact, i just sent this to my daughter for her birthday. She loves to entertain and this makes a lovely impression whether for one or for guests. You definitely won't want to hide this away. )This product is apparently made by a Canadian company but IN China according to the literature that accompanies it - which speaks Volumes for company oversight in terms of quality control & definitely not the usual made in China purchase you wish you'd passed by.Ok, have i gushed enough yet ?? lolCuisinox, Take a Bow !!!!!

This review may be a bit premature, but my purchasing has benefited so much from Amazon reviews that I wanted to pass along this feedback to fellow coffee lovers. I have only had the Cuisinox Roma 6-cup for a couple of days, but here is some background and the current feedback; First let me say I fall in the school of coffee that says that none of the stove top pots actually make true espresso - but some come close and essentially some can produce a coffee close enough to espresso to make a decent cappuccino or latte. After giving up on the hassle of espresso machines I started using stove top pots and about five years ago I upgraded to a stainless steel stovetop from my old aluminum Bialetti. I bought a Veg Vigano Kontessa Oro. That pot made very good coffee and very near espresso, even producing a small amount of crema. The problem with that pot is that the handle is only attached at one point and fell off recently - it should be noted that I used the pot everyday, making multiple pots for about four years. I've also read and share some of the concerns with possible chemical coating on the inside of the water chamber of the Veg Vigono so I decided to try the Cuisinox. This is a very nice looking pot and seems well made. It produces more volume than previous 6-cup pots that I have had, but the coffee is not as thick or as close to espresso as with the Bialetti or the Veg Vigano. Using the reduction filter it is even worse, producing only what would be called "Americano" type coffee - not what I was looking or hoping for. If you want just a very good cup of strong coffee, this would seem to be an excellent all stainless steel stove top pot. However if you are looking to get as close as possible to espresso with a stove top pot, you may need to look elsewhere. I've written Veg Vigano to ask about the coating on their pots and will update this review if I receive an answer. If there is no chemical in their coating I will purchase a new Veg Vigano and use this Cusinox as a back-up or second pot.Update to the above: I did not hear back from Veg Vigano - I was disappointed not to, granted they are in Italy and I wrote in English and perhaps I did not send to the right address. I did follow-up with a trusted seller - Espressozone.com. I have bought from them before and their feedback and tech support is always prompt and helpful. They advised that it is not a chemical coating, but rather just a sand blasted finish. I took their word for it, bought a new Veg Vigano and returned the Cusinox - the Cusinox is a beautiful pot, but did not make the type coffee I wanted. I am very pleased with this Veg Vigano. I'll tell you it did leak just a tad - a small amount of steam and water would come out just at the very end of the brewing process from where the top and bottom screws together. I examined the threads and everything looked just like my old Veg so I decided to wait a few days to see if maybe the seal just needed to be broken in a bit. Sure enough that seems to have been the case. I've been using the pot several times a day since and no leakage, just great coffee. Hope this helps you achieve the brew you are looking for - life's too short to drink lousy coffee!
