Product Description
With the invention of the stovetop espresso coffee maker, espresso – long a staple of Italian cafés and bars – became available for home consumption. As the cold water in the lower chamber heats, the pressure from its boiling forces the water up through the coffee grounds. In just a few minutes, espresso emerges from the spout into the upper chamber as the pot hisses and gurgles. Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand until the lower chamber is releasing only steam.

Cuisinox Espresso Stovetop Coffeemaker

I use a melita filter with a craffe. I like that the coffee stays fresh but it doesn’t stay hot! I want a french press but I do not like the grounds at the bottom. I don’t like a drip coffee maker casue of the hot plate that burns the coffee. What is the best machine and or way to prepare coffee? your thoughts?

I’m afraid I wasn’t clear. I want to buy one. Thank you!

This is a stove-top coffee maker, and I’m just looking for the correct coffee-to-water ratio. Any manufacturer will do, I suppose.
