Like other stove top espresso machines, including the now discontinued Walmart brand that costs half as much, makes it nice is excellent. Various reviews of these devices clearly do not understand how to deal with them. Read six routes instruktioner.Stanken the gasket is so bad, it stinks up the house. I tried soaking in vinegar for 24 hours, isopropyl alcohol for 24 hours, lighter fluid for 6 hours. It is not as bad as it was. This stinky gasket must be redesigned. There is no excuse for det.Epilog: 06,951 Bialetti replacement gasket is clean and sweet. Rating: 2 / 5

I also had the “stinking gasket” problem, and I was also able to solve it with Bialetti replacement gasket. The interior has had a tough finish with irregular globs of aluminum, which suggests that their factory quality control is bad, but that does not seem to affect the function of coffee. When I was finished, I had spent about $ 25, so this cheap espresso machine was no bargain. If I had to do it again, I would buy one of the products with silicone gasket. Rating: 2 / 5

I own it – and love – super fast and easy to use and clean – only problem is that I threw the rubber gasket as it is HORRIBLY toxic and smelly (as did others) and made my coffee tastes like rubber. I did not have a replacement, so I just picked it up and just screw together tightly enough that it does not leak (and it does not – except maybe a drop or two here and there). Use it every day, but it is SOOO hard to turn after each use. Will buy an upgraded model, but it works! Rating: 3 / 5

It is fairly small, so be aware that the 4 cups is demitasse, but perfect for one person. I like the ruggedness of stainless steel and it makes great tasting espresso. With its dual chamber design, I can quickly apply pressure and brewing my espresso. A good product to make your own espresso, I love it! Rating: 5 / 5

WORKS GREAT, and reminds me of those times when I was in Italy. The only problem is that it is not large enough. Of course, a normal CUP for me is two cups of someone else. Rating: 4 / 5
