LuxHaus Moka Pot - 3 Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker - 100% Stainless Steel Italian and Cuban Mocha Coffee Maker

If you are confused about whether or not to buy this. JUST GET IT. The item came beautifully packaged and the moka pot is of such high quality. I agonized for weeks over which one to buy and I have zero regrets about spending the $20 extra to get this stainless steel moka pot over a smaller bialetti or other aluminum ones. I've been using it now for nearly two months and once you follow the instructions (check youtube) it makes a great cup of coffee. It cleans easily and has brought me such joy. Highly recommend.

I was so pleased to receive this, the packaging is above quality, nice and solid pot, but the handle looked a bit uneven and gapped at the attachment site, I tried to dismiss my observation as being too picky. The 6th use (less than a week after receiving) the pot broke off leaving me holding an empty handle. The two little dots were what was holding the fairly heavy little pot, which seems odd for such a nice pot and presentation.I contacted the seller, haven't heard back a few days later.Edit; These dear sellers sent me a new pot! One of the very few times Amazon sales has taken care of my pruchase problems!Thank you, I now have a bit more faith in Amazon!

Great espresso pot especially for traveling. Went to Ireland to visit friends, who are all tea drinkers, with my old small espresso pot but was not able to use because they had an induction stove. Came home and purchased this one that will work on most stove tops( including induction). Made myself some coffee (on my gas stove) and it was delicious. Will never leave home without it.

It’s a really good espresso pot. Clean it as per instructions but make sure you don’t twist the pot to the base too much. I’m enjoying my first cup of amazon pre ground coffee. Over the years I’ve purchased more than a dozen of these types of espresso makers a this is the best one ever. No more driving to Starbucks.I’m going to by another one

I bought this 9-cup LuxHaus Moka Pot for my wife (she still LOVES everything about it after 6 months of constant, daily use), especially since it includes a 100% no-rust guarantee plus a 100% lifetime satisfaction guarantee & a 100% money-back guarantee.-- I tried this Moka Pot myself every day for 10 days (so I developed an informed opinion).Overall Rating: 4/5Overall Rating (wife): 5/5Overall Rating (husband): 3/5Coffee flavor (wife): 5/5Coffee flavor (husband): 1/5 (explained hereinbelow)Installation/setup easiness: 5/5Ease of Use: 5/5Ease of Cleaning: 3/5Build quality: 5/5Utility: 5/5Customer SUPPORT: 5/5I love a strong brewed coffee (Turkish, Cuban, Espresso, etc.), but I have never enjoyed the coffee which usually comes out of most retail coffee makers I’ve ever tried [including Drip, Pour-Over, Percolator, Stovetop (Moka Pot), Single-Serve Capsule, French Press, and Espresso Coffee Makers].Consequently, I always loved “Turkish Grandma’s” coffee (which I scored 5/5 stars for its delightfully-robust body and flavor).Consequently, “Turkish Grandma’s” 5/5 coffee is the STANDARD against which I compare all brewed coffees, including the 1/5 coffee I produced via this LuxHaus Moka Pot (which NEVER produced a cup of brewed coffee for me which matched the body and flavor of “Turkish Grandma’s” coffee).“Turkish Grandma” brewed her coffee by (i) first boiling water in a small, open (uncovered) pot on her gas stove and then (ii) she added her finely-ground, dark-roast coffee to the water boiling in the small uncovered pot, and then (iii) she lowered the gas flame to keep the water-coffee mixture simmering just below the boiling point for a predetermined amount of time while she constantly stirred the water-coffee mixture to ensure optimal extraction of the coffee oils. “Turkish Grandma” would then DECANT the supernatant, brewed coffee into a cup in order to enjoy her delicious Turkish coffee with minimal sediment.Consequently, as is detailed below at bottom, I currently make my MODERNIZED version of “Turkish Grandma’s” coffee by using a microwave oven instead of a gas stove.=================================MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS MOKA POT=================================1. The LuxHaus Moka Pot which we actually own (“9-cup”) holds only a MAXIMUM 16 fl. oz. of water immediately below the body of the pressure-release safety-valve (not the 18oz cited at www.amazon(dot)com/dp/B08BLRJCWS).-- In our LuxHaus Moka Pot, 18 fl. oz. of water sits immediately ABOVE the TOP of (and fills) the hole in the center of the body of the pressure-release safety-valve.-- In our LuxHaus Moka Pot, 17 fl. oz. of water sits immediately BELOW (and at the BOTTOM of) the hole in the center of the body of the pressure-release safety-valve.2. The coffee basket (aka “pop-out dispenser”) of our “9-cup” LuxHaus Moka Pot holds only 7 tablespoons of ground coffee. Consequently, by definition, 7 tablespoons of coffee would make the equivalent of either 7 OR 3.5 brewed 2oz-espresso-cups MAXIMUM [depending on whether one uses either 1 OR 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for each 2 fl. oz. of water, respectively], especially since one “espresso cup” customarily means(i) 2-3 fl. oz. [customarily 2 fl. oz. MOST TYPICALLY/TRADITIONALLY] of brewed espresso coffee [tinyurl(dot)com/mpv2ddaw ; tinyurl(dot)com/p6wd3aar ; tinyurl(dot)com/tt5x2wpb]AND(ii) 1-2 tablespoons of ground coffee [customarily 1 tablespoon MOST TYPICALLY/TRADITIONALLY] for each 2 fl. oz. of water [tinyurl(dot)com/3m5a885f ; tinyurl(dot)com/3sm4jf6w ; tinyurl(dot)com/3ttjnd5y ; tinyurl(dot)com/y4uew2p4].-- According to tinyurl(dot)com/3m5a885f, 10 is the coffee-to-water ratio for the Moka pot brewing method, which uses 0.4 tablespoon of ground coffee for each 2 fl. oz. of water.-- Consequently, it's not clear why the online description of the “9-cup” LuxHaus Moka Pot cites “9 espresso-size cups (about 2oz each)”.3. Unfortunately, in our “9-cup” LuxHaus Moka Pot, when I used 7 tablespoons of ground coffee with either 7 OR 14 fl. oz. of water in order to make either 3.5 OR 7 brewed 2oz-espresso-cups, respectively, the resultant brewed coffee tasted burnt and woody and muddy, not at all like a delicious, brewed espresso coffee.4. Unfortunately, in our “9-cup” LuxHaus Moka Pot, even when I used just 3 tablespoons of ground coffee with 12 fl. oz. of water (viz., 1 tablespoon of ground coffee for each 4 fl. oz. of water [tinyurl(dot)com/349adtzc ; tinyurl(dot)com/3s89r2zk]) in order to make three 4-oz cups of regular brewed coffee, the resultant brewed coffee was almost tasteless. In contrast, the same combination of 3 tablespoons of ground coffee and 12 fl. oz. of water produces a deliciously-rich coffee when brewed by using my MODERNIZED version of “Turkish Grandma’s” coffee (detailed below).Consequently, that’s why my rating is only 1/5 for Coffee flavor (husband) for coffee produced in our “9-cup” LuxHaus Moka Pot, and also why I stopped using our LuxHaus Moka Pot after my 10-day trial.Notwithstanding, based on the many 5-star reviews, it seems self-evident that there are many happy owners of the LuxHaus Moka Pot, including my wife.Obviously, just like “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, taste is totally dependent on each person’s palate (and nose and tongue).Peace.==================================MY OWN MODERNIZED TURKISH-STYLECOFFEE-BREWING METHODUSING MICROWAVE OVEN==================================PROS:Super-easy to use and cleanCoffee brews quickly and uniformly just below boiling, which prevents over-extractionBrewed coffee is deliciously rich and robust and flavorfulSteeping time can be easily controlledNO coffee stains to cleanNO lime deposits to periodically remove with vinegarNO rust from long-time use of metal pots (including “stainless steel” pots which can indeed rust [cf. tinyurl(dot)com/he29zuju])CONS: NONE=================EQUIPMENT USED:=================To make my MODERNIZED (microwave) version of “Turkish Grandma’s” coffee, I use:1. 2 PYREX measuring cups [like these: tinyurl(dot)com/mr2365ay]-- one 16 fl.oz. and one 32 fl.oz.and2. one of these types of stainless-steel mesh filters: tinyurl(dot)com/4pdznnr7 [or any of these which one might prefer instead: tinyurl(dot)com/3wtu4zrk] which take out 90+% of coffee grounds, leaving only a miniscule amount of sediment (which I discard as soon as I reach the bottom of my coffee mug)and3. an inverter-type microwave oven (which regulates and precisely controls the microwave power Inside the microwave oven).======================COFFEE-MAKING STEPSfor 12 fl.oz. of brewed coffee:======================A. Put 16oz of tap water (or filtered water) into the 32 fl.oz. PYREX measuring cup (the coffee grounds absorb/retain 2-4oz of water).B. Heat the 16oz of water (inside the 32 fl.oz. PYREX measuring cup) in microwave oven at 100% power until water starts boiling (approximately 3-5 minutes).C. Use a long-handled spoon(i) to break the surface of the heated water &(ii) to gently stir the heated water(in order to prevent getting scalded by steam-propelled superheated water).D. Add 3 LEVEL tablespoons of coffee grounds to the heated water in the 32 fl.oz. PYREX measuring cup.-- STIR THE WATER-COFFEE MIX WELL TO THOROUGHLY DISPERSE THE COFFEE GROUNDS.-- I use 3-5 LEVEL tablespoons of coffee grounds per 12oz of water for my taste (one can use more or less coffee grounds for whatever strength coffee one wants).E. Put the 32 fl.oz. PYREX measuring cup which contains the WATER-COFFEE MIX back into the microwave oven and heat the WATER-COFFEE MIX for approximately 3-5 minutes at whatever power level will keep the WATER-COFFEE MIX simmering (just below boiling).-- With our OLD, regular, 1100-watt microwave oven, I could NOT use more than 20% power (otherwise the WATER-COFFEE MIX boiled over).-- With our NEW, inverter-type, 1100watt microwave oven, I can use 70% power without having the WATER-COFFEE MIX boil over.F. Put the stainless-steel mesh filter into the 16 fl.oz. PYREX measuring cup.G. In order to separate the brewed coffee liquid from the coffee grounds, DECANT all the supernatant liquid brewed coffee of the WATER-COFFEE MIX from E. above into/through the stainless-steel mesh filter which is sitting inside the 16 fl.oz. PYREX measuring cup.H. Remove the stainless-steel mesh filter which now contains some of the coffee grounds (most of the coffee grounds will remain in the 32 fl.oz. PYREX measuring cup if one DECANTS the supernatant liquid brewed coffee CAREFULLY).I. One can drink one’s delicious, freshly-brewed, “Turkish Grandma’s” coffee directly in the 16 fl.oz. PYREX measuring cup (the thick glass keeps the coffee hot longer).-- add sweetener & creamer to taste-- I stop drinking when there's approximately 1-2oz of coffee left because of the residual coffee grounds in the bottom (mesh filter can't take all grounds out, but paper filters take all the flavor out).-- please let me know if any of you ever finds a mesh filter with much smaller hole sizes that remove more of the residual coffee grounds.Enjoy!

The name says it all LUX! This moka pot is exactly what I have been looking for. Brews a rich cup of coffee.Made with stainless-steel, high-quality workmanship. Arrived in beautiful, designed box. The attention to detail in the box was a clear indication of the high-quality product within.I would highly recommend this item.

Item was a gift! The box it came in was nice enough I didn’t have to wrap it! Works well! Stronger coffee than French press.
