Easyworkz Diego Stovetop Espresso Maker Stainless Steel Italian Coffee Machine Maker 4cup 200ml Induction Moka Pot

This is my first ever moka pot and I'm very pleased with it. In fact, it is now part of my life as a morning routine.Positives:1) It brings out a different, more intense, flavour compared to my cafetiere and it's quicker;2) The polished stainless steel and satin black base looks smart - so much better than the cheaper looking Aluminium efforts;3) It's easy enough to strip and clean.Negatives:1) The black satin base is painted and is easy to scratch and the stainless steel body had some minor scratches (which may have occurred while in transit - see below for how I resolved this;2) The instructions did not explain how to remove the silicone gasket - I wasn't sure whether it had been heat welded in and so couldn't be removed - again, I resolved this (see below);3) The quantity of coffee produced each time is enough for ONE cup - you'd struggle to get two cups out of it. However, the larger Diago Easyworks pot (with the stainless steel base) would alleviate this issue;4) The wall between the inside of the pot and the "chimney" narrows to a point which is "awkward" to clean.AdviceI'd highly recommend that you take out the silicone gasket after each coffee making session. On the pot's first (pre-use) cleaning I noticed water behind the gasket and there is no way of removing this without stripping it. If not cleaned, you're eventually going to start having "interesting" flavoured coffee! To remove the gasket use something thin and plastic. If you use a metal knife there's a risk you'll damage the gasket or scratch the pot: I use a small plastic spatula - the type used by children to spread glue with. Regarding the stainless steel body having minor scratches: if this bothers you (it bothers me!) then use a suitable metal polish to remove them. I used "Autosol" which is a slightly abrasive cream - it's a 5 to10 minute job.ReflectionsThese pots do not produce coffee that can be described as "espresso" - it's something else and I'm unsure why they are referred to as "espresso pots" instead of "moka pots." Perhaps, it is because the most appropriate grind size for use is most similar to an espresso grind if using pre-ground coffee? Saying that, the recommended grind size by my 1zpresso K-Plus grinder is between settings "5 and 7" whereas a recommended espresso setting is between "3 and 4.5."ConclusionThe price of the Diago Easyworks was reasonable, it's solid and looks good, and I really enjoy using it on a daily basis. I suspect that it will last for years and it is possible to find replacement silicone gaskets online. I highly recommend you try it!

I am delighted with this pot. So easy to use and makes two good cups of espresso and one and a bit mugs of larger coffees. Beautifully engineered. Dishwasher proof. Good solid pot. The handle stays cool even though the rest of the pot gets hot on the stove.

This is my first use of this type of coffee maker.I fill with water and coffee at night. In the morning I put over heat and have strong flavourfull coffe in 5 mins or so.Easy to clean.

This mokka pot makes lovely coffee, it’s well made, easy to clean and shiny

My honest opinion, Yes I did my research looking for which coffee pot to buy, read through the one star ratings etc, and I don't doubt that some are honest and some can be a little picky about faults. Well, I decided to go for this particular model, it arrived this morning, the looks and build quality look pretty good, Yes the insulated lid does wobble a bit but it does close nice and snug. I put it through its paces. First attempt all set up, on the induction hob, lets makes some coffee.... I was loosing pressure from where the two sections join. Second attempt, after clean up. Screwed the two section tighter this time and all was good, I do admit you do have to use quite a bit of force so be warned, Now its just a case of fine tuning how much coffee to brew with.

Looks good. Really easy to use. Makes lovely coffee and enough for 2 mugs or 3 cups which is ideal. Perfect size in my opinion. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. This is quality

When preparing coffee, having ensured the top was fully screwed to the base, the coffee pot leaked at the seal between pot and reservoir and when I put my hand to lift it off the heat my fingers were burned with steam blowing from the joint between top and bottom. The lid on the top of the coffee pot was loose. Very poor workmanship…. The product is being returned as unsuitable and not fit for purpose

fantastic product, working a year later, no problems

Great quality, heavy base, stainless steel. Makes great espresso. Very happy with this purchase.

Poca capacidad pero cumple su función

Excelente, o café fica muito melhor do que em cafeteira comum ou de alumínio.

This is a really nice moka pot. The principle on how they work is same across brands. The differences is in the smaller features and materials. Pros: Larger size. Says 12 cup, which is the largest I have seen. These cups are expresso sized cups. It makes like 1.5 regular/large sized cups. I really like the black colored base. I dislike seeing discoloration on a stainless base. Some people however like the used look. The lid has a small knob rather than a flip tab for thumb. Seems a bit thicker and sits snug in the pot. This could be a pro or con depending on your preference. For me it was a pro so my thumb doesnt accidently pop the lid up. Cleaning: These moka pots I feel are much easier to clean than my French Presses. Once all coffee has brewed and you are ready to clean it out, just twist off the top and the grounds can be easily popped out and either thrown away or composted. Pressure release valve: The valve on this one is slightly different than my previous pot with no moving part. So far, I have never had this feature come into play. Handle: Nice handle that stays cool even after brewing. It is similar to my French press. I did however like the rubberized, ergonomic handle on another brand of moka pot I owned slightly better but, not a big enough deal to not want me to purchase this pot. Overall, I am very happy with the size, quality of the pot. It makes a good cup of coffee if you are using good water and freshly burr ground beans. Enjoy!

D'abord j'adore son design mais en plus, cette cafetière qui m'a été livrée très rapidement, est de qualité. J'ai attendu quelques semaines avant de publier mon commentaire mais j'en suis très satisfaite.Le café est délicieux et elle est équipée d'un filtre à deux "étages" pour pouvoir réduire la quantité si on le désire. J'ai pris le grand modèle mais souvent, je prépare de cette façon des demi cafetières pour le boire toujours frais.A savoir aussi que sa poignée, bien que métallique, ne chauffe pas.
