RAINBEAN Moka Pot 6 Cup Set Espresso Maker

Makes great espresso, and I'm still learning how to get the heat right to not overcook the coffee but I can tell it's already miles above instant or my Aeropress.I can't give this 5 stars because no matter what I do, a little bit of coffee leaks/drips from the Moke Pot where it connects together.It would be a bigger inconvenience for me to have to send it back and wait for a new one than to just wipe it up, but as the product isn't "perfect" I can't give a perfect rating.

We just had our kitchen done, and so decided to order a new moka pot as our old one was getting a bit passed it’s best. After 2 weeks of being stuck with instant coffee whilst the work was being done, we were looking forward to a nice, proper moka made coffee but sadly it seems this pot doesn’t want to kick out much coffee - barely even 1 cups worth and it always tastes so burnt, despite all our efforts to ensure the seal is not obstructed, trying brews on different temps, etc. Nothing seems to work. It’s a shame, as it’s a really stylish pot and cup set.

My cravings for Barista coffee are gone. Makes lovely strong coffee without creating a zillion pods for landfill. (I dump my grounds in the garden borders.)Slower than instant or a French Press, but makes a delicious cup of coffee. Easy to clean and easy to use.I put boiling water in the bottom. Add two to three spoonfuls of ground coffee (doesn’t have to be espresso) and put on burner. Walk away and wait for the percolating to begin. You can look on YouTube for instructions.Don’t leave on the burner too long or you’ll turn the pot a new colour. I did and now it reminds me of a 1970’s fondue pot. Love it even more. Still makes an excellent coffee.

I didn't see any indication of size when I ordered this percolator so I was shocked when it turned out to look like a toy one. It is cute and red but is a lot of palaver to make a minute amount of coffee - extra strong - which I then have to water down to make it drinkable. (I wasn't looking to make espresso) It uses a lot of coffee too and sometimes it just doesn't perk so it sits on the stove and steam comes out and no water glugs about - don't know why that is. It's tricky getting the metal filter cup out to put the water in and when cleaning it. Luckily I only need to make one cup a day to keep my builder happy - I don't drink coffee at all but quite like the smell of it. He drinks it so not sure what that says about the quality of the percolator. If I was choosing afresh I'd buy a cafetiere.

I bought this for my husband because he wanted a larger pot to make his morning coffee. It is described as a 6 cup pot and looks much larger in the photos. However, this in reality it is half the size of his existing 4 cup pot. I wanted to send it back as I was so disappointed at being duped and feel I've wasted my money - my husband however liked the look of this cute tiny pot and the accompanying coffee cups and thinks it may be useful for taking camping (despite us not having a tent!). I would definitely not order from this seller again.

I hate to leave a bad review, but I am sending this back, as it is not fit for purpose. I have used perculators before (my wife likes to put them through the dishwasher, so it's often time for a new one) and know what to expect. The pressure should build up, and then coffee slowly rises through. With this one, coffee starts bubbling through very quickly, but takes a long time to finish, so the coffee boils, which ruins it, as it runs. And when you pour it, it dribbles down the side. So stump up for a Bialetti.

Tried to give this moka a chance BUT:1. Coffee leaked from the middle every time2. TAKES MUCH LONGER THAN A STANDARD MOKA FOR COFFEE TO COME THROUGH3. Due to 2 above, forced to raise lid sever times to check level at which point coffee spurts everywhere (Something that doesn't happen nwith any half decent Moka)3. Resulting coffee is watery and doesn't taste nice (I've used Lavazza for years but made on this Moka it was undrinkable)

Wasting money and time, half of coffee stays in the base, I had to return it back
