Typhoon Metro Red 6-Cup Espresso Maker


Like the other reviewers, I found this pot totally inferior to a Bialetti. In fact, I'd say it's a worthless product for two reasons. First, the coffee does not brew out in a quiet steady flow, as it should, but sputters from the time it first starts seeping out. You are supposed to hear the sputtering when it's time to turn off the burner, but because it's always sputtering you have to keep opening the lid (making a mess) to see when it's done. Second, and most critically, it brews so slowly that the coffee begins to burn (evident in the smell and taste) before it's even finished. I'm using proper heat and I'm not over-packing. I've been using various moka pots for years without these problems.
