Question 1

Where is this made?

Accepted Answer

My espresso maker doesn't have a stamp on it, indicating where it was made.  But I researched the company and it seems as if the once-Italian made product, though distributed out of Florida, has been outsourced to China - really kind-of vague, but here's the link:http://primulaproducts.com/epoca-international/Sorry I can't be of more help than that - perhaps if you call their customer service, they can give you more accurate information.

Question 2

what does "*18/10 Stainless Steel" mean?

Accepted Answer

that's the percentage of chromium & nickel in the stainless steel. it is shinier than 18/0 stainless, which is another popular "food grade" stainless steel. basically, it's a good material for this application because it has good corrosion resistance, is easy to sanitize, and is shiny (yay!).

Question 3

I just purchased a primula stainless steel expression maker and it does not have nor does it mention using silicon gaskets.  Are they needed?

Accepted Answer

Yes it needs the silicone gasket and there should be one with it you can purchase them as well. I have had mine for a year now and have not had to replace the gasket as of yet however when I first purchased it I did order replacements as well. I got set of 3 for 2.50 off of amazon, my original silicone has last this far. It needs seal because it's help when the pressured water boils. Please check again it's like a pale white almost clear rubber ring, additional ones I purchased are solid white. I hope that helps and I was not too wordy. Enjoying the cup of joe

Question 4

Just bought one.  How do you make it make good krema?

Accepted Answer

Personally, I prefer Coffee Bean Direct. I have tried several of their roasts and have never been disappointed. Their . com is very user friendly and if you feel comfortable with an espresso roast, they have one called Godfather's Italian Espresso (yes from the movie, Lol) and there are memorable pictures on it. The reviews were enough to sell me because I love a good dark roast. Sorry I'm late, looking for a Moka pot to make my birthday cheesecake next month. Need a lot of espresso.
