Cuisinox Roma 10 Cup Stovetop Espresso Coffeemaker

This is a fantastic stovetop espresso pot; it's got beautiful lines, it's very well crafted and well designed.

First of all, I appreciate that it's made of stainless steel rather than the more traditional aluminum. There's no pitting of the metal over time (and therefore, no aluminum that winds up in my coffee! In using it on an electric stovetop, there's been no discoloration on the outside surface either.

Another reviewer noted the size of this pot, and I was a bit concerned that it would be larger than I expected, but it seems perfect to me; it's not cumbersome or heavy in the least. It's very well constructed and designed to last. Regarding the lid being 'flimsy', the hinge itself does allow a bit of play, but it doesn't seem to pose any danger of breaking. The handle doesn't become too hot to touch, as with some other moka pots.

For me, the pot makes an excellent brew of coffee (I prefer it to my French press), and just enough coffee to fill my extra large mug (about 20 oz., the size of a Starbucks venti). The great thing about a moka pot is that you can tailor the taste of the coffee in a multitude of ways. It will accept a grind from coarse to fine, thereby changing the amount of surface area of coffee that is exposed to the water. You can play with the water and coffee ratio to find what works best for you. And depending on how high you set your stove, you can affect the brew time, which makes a difference in the taste as well. It really allows you to tweak the variables and find the method that is right for you.

Cleaning doesn't pose any issues, and taking it apart and reassembling it is easy and quick. There's a filter insert that allows you to brew a half pot (about a traditionally sized cup of coffee), and it works well. But I almost always make the full amount, and wouldn't enjoy a smaller pot than this.

I love this pot; it's held up well, and I expect it will continue to for years to come.

I recently received my Roma 10 cup it is quite a bit larger than the 6 cup. Overall the construction seems solid although the lid attachment seems a bit flimsy. Unlike other reviewers mine did discolor slightly at the base after use, but I do not really mind the gold hue (and yes the fire was kept low). Also unlike some other reviewers of the 6 cup, I did not find it that difficult to clean. However I would recommend cleaning it soon after it cools. One advantage of the 10 cup vs the 6 cup is that the larger base protects the handle from heat and I have not found the need to use a towel or hot pad to remove it from the stove and pour it. Also you do have the option to make 5 cups and to be honest I cannot see wanting to make less than that ( such as 3 on the 6 cup). The coffee is rich and strong but I would not quite compare it to espresso, however it does pack more puch than the same coffee in my Cappresso drip machine. I like it, and even though the 6 cup is a little more attractive in size, I think it would be too small to make morning (which means a decent cup size)coffee for more than one person. I would recommend it and my only complaint is the way the lid is attached should be more solid.
