DÉBUT Stainless Steel Italian Espresso Coffee Maker Stovetop Moka Pot Greca Coffee Maker Latte Cappuccino Percolator, 6 Espresso Cup - 10 Oz

I used it for two months and it works great! The design is elegant and I use it every day. It is made of stainless steel and by a manufacturer in Taiwan. I loved the quality and the workmanship of the product. The one I have doesn’t have the issues shared by the other owner. I think it is important to properly clean it every time after using it. I know the price is high compared with the others but I think it is worthy. Highly recommend it.

UPDATE: I have now owned this thing for almost a year. No problems except me tweaking the lid a little manhandling it when I washed it. I simply tweaked it back. I totally love the way I can cool this thing under cool faucet water right after pouring out my coffee. Nice. I now have the habit of loosening the top before putting it away. This should extend the life of the silicon seal.I am glad I started this coffee habit now when I am retired. I did not have the time during my working days. And now I live in a country that grows coffee. Talking about fresh! Fresh coffee beans + a nice coffee grinder + this coffee maker = much happiness.One thing I would like to mention is the bowl holds 2.5 french press measures of coffee if added loosely. Turning the screen upside down holds half that.I need to confess that I am a coffee newbie, and I have been drinking coffee regularly for only a little over a year. That said, I am retired from working on multi-million dollar precision equipment. I can usually guess if something is going to fail (break).Yes this is the most expensive 4 cup coffee maker I could find. You get what you pay for. It also seems to be the best.The base of this thing is made of heavy metal (and I’m not talking about music). Interestingly enough, my bowl seems to be made a little better than the one in the picture, if you look at the inside machining. Yes the reversible lower filter screen is a nice idea. But I need to learn to hold this thing correctly to keep from throwing it in the trash every other time I empty it.The upper section is not as heavy, but it is a respectable thickness. The lid does not compliment the rest of the coffee maker. It is made of the thinnest material. And the tiny hinge concerns me. I don’t think these parts would hold up well if I threw this across the room at a concrete wall. Dropping on a concrete floor may only cause a blemish on the metal.The instructions say this thing should be disassembled and cleaned every 200 uses. I need to put this on my calendar to clean it every 4 months. Just get in the habit of rinsing this with hot water soon after making coffee or you will need to use a sponge on the dried coffee.Something nobody has mentioned: the little brass safety valve. I looked it up to see if it is safe. It is safe as long as you don’t put salt and acidic foods in the bottom bowl. ??? Who would do that? If you do put salt and acidic foods in the bottom bowl and make 50 cups of coffee a day, your health might (or might not) be affected in about 300 years. Yea, it's safe.On a more serious tone, that is a SAFETY VALVE. It would be good to have a professional maintenance friend take a look at it once a year. Normally if a problem develops in this, it will start leaking a little steam ever time you use it. It is cheap and easy to replace the valve. I recommend you buy a factory replacement valve. Also, NEVER PACK THE COFFEE. That is bad for many reasons I will not go into here.Coffee: I bought a coffee grinder and some roasted coffee beans. It smelled and tasted like chemicals in the French Press I used before I bought this. Today I made some coffee with my stainless steel coffee maker starting it with tap water, on my smallest burner, on the lowest flame I could make. It took forever to get a cup of coffee, but it was some of the best coffee I have ever tasted. It had no chemical smell or taste. I think the super slow heating gives a better result.Buy this thing. Unless you want to keep breaking French Press beakers like I did.

The best part about these things is you get a dose of go just like espresso. You can also flip the internal screen around to only take half as much coffee grounds. This is my second pot- the first was the smaller one, it soon became evident I needed the next one up, now I have a choice- a lot of caffeine, or not so much, depending on how I feel. A big selling point was the all-stainless construction, no aluminum anywhere. And yes, these are pricey, so what, they will last a life time. Both are still using the original gasket, neither one showing any sign of hardening, but I would recommend getting a spare, just to be covered. Money well spent.

It's a beautiful moka pot and does the job of making espresso, but unfortunately it's not safe! In description it claims: "HANDLE DESIGN: Made of 304 (18/8) stainless steel instead of plastic, makes it textured. It's far away from the flame, do not worry about it's melted (plastic material) or hot after heating." Be warned, this is NOT true and my husband burned his hand badly! If you're going to use, make sure you use something to protect your hand from the heat.

I have gone through many different brands, Debut is by far the best from which I have tried. It feels like its made from higher quality stainless steel, I feel like I got what I paid for. Support is very kind as well, I lost a reducer and bought another and they sent a nice hand written message along with a free coffee spoon/scooper. Small thing but I appreciate people who make the effort to hand write a message in 2023.Pro tip: I have bought several of these, a few for myself and some for family and friends. Immediately after making coffee, I pour my cup then run the pot under warm water to cool it off, take it apart and rinse it out completely. I have had mine for several months now and they look brand new, absolutely ZERO discoloring anywhere.My parents don't really care, just want the coffee to be made. Quite often they will leave the pot on the burner for much longer than they should just because they aren't watching while its being made, then they might not clean it out until a few hours later. Their bottom cup is now a bronze/brownish color. Take care of your tools!!
