Bellux Stovetop Stainless Steel Espresso Coffee Maker 10 Cup

This is the fourth Espresso maker, of this type, that I've bought. It looks good, is well made and should give years of service. However... the divider (used for making 'regular' coffee) in the grounds chamber is flimsy such that it feels like its buckling when you tamp in the coffee. Also, the divided chamber is still too large. I like my coffee strong but this is too much.Also the product description I read before purchase didn't mention if it had a divider - so I had to buy hoping there would be one.

I've had the 6 cup version of this exact model for 10yrs now and it has been used every day without fail (unless I have overpacked the coffee or when it needs a new o-ring). It still works perfectly but I needed a bigger version for our coffee loving household. They are brilliant. Even goes on campfire or BBQ and is dishwasher safe. And this 10 cup is exactly the same quality. Other aluminium ones that I have used taste metallic and do not last. The little seive plate that comes with it goes knob down into the basket before the coffee goes in to make the basket half capacity. Without the seive in, if you fill the basket up half way it works and tastes exactly the same.

Didn't work on our gas hob. We've had lots of stovetops in the past all with wider bottoms, which work fine. For some reason this one didn't push the coffee through and we had to return it.

It was bought as a gift. it makes good coffee with no leaks when pouring. The stainless steel design makes it look modern. I wish I'd bought it for myself

Great stylish stovepot - unfortunately, the base was too small for any of my gas hob burners. Disappointing.
