Designed in England, the stainless steel Stovetop Espresso Maker is simple and yet striking. Handmade and based on the Italian Moka Pot system, it makes great tasting coffee. Simply unscrew the base and remove the steel funnel, fill the base with water and place the steel funnel back into place before adding ground coffee. Once screwed back together heat the coffee maker on the hob (gas or electric) until the water has boiled and the stovetop has finished percolating. The recommended time is 10-15 minutes at a medium heat. Stainless steel takes longer to heat up but also longer to cool down, thereby keeping the coffee hot for longer. Once ready the beautiful wooden handle and drip free spout will allow you to pour your coffee in style. The handle was designed to create an easy pouring mechanism but the wood also makes a lovely contrast to the stainless steel, further enhancing the aesthetics of this elegant stovetop espresso maker. With a volume of 250ml, it will make 4 espressos or enough for two cups. Part of our Tableware collection, the stovetop coffee maker allows you to drink some decent coffee rather than feeling you have to resort to instant when just making coffee for one or two.
