Atlasware Stainless Steel Mocha Design 6 Cup Coffee Maker

I generally don’t review after just one use but this product really impressed me. Pros: Solid Indian steel build. Strong heat resistant handle. Fast brew. Easy to clean. Cons: A bit small in size. Perfect for single user. The ‘6-cup’ model is good for 1 cup americano or 4 shots espresso. 6 shots of espresso may be possible but you risk over extraction. Overall: it is evident that a lot of thought has gone in the design. The stove flame does not affect the handle or the silicone o-ring. Takes about 5 min per brew. I just hope the steel doesn’t crack. A steel handle would have been a cherry on top.

If you want to buy a coffee filter I personally recommend the brand Atlasware. This Moka pot is very sturdy, elegant and beautiful look. May be the price is little bit higher than the normal coffee filters, but it will last for long. Don't go for a normal coffee filter like 200 ml, 250 ml, 400 ml. First time I purchase the normal coffee filter, when it reached my home I measured with water the normal filters were not what they are telling in the website. I returned the normal products and bought the Atlasware Moka pot.

Excellent product, very well built. If spare washer and filter were available online, I would have given 5 stars. Can make excellent coffee either on the gas stove or on the induction oven. Low flame on small burner gives rhe strongest coffee. Induction oven keep warm settings gives slightly lighter but less bitter coffee. I personally prefer coffee on the induction oven.

Imitation is the best form of flattery. All moka pots available online are imitarions of original designs by Bialetti but this is by far the best. Specific features above other kettles include: Better quality 18/10 stainless steel with good polishing High quality safety valve - design matches the original Bialetti Venus. The Bialetti is of course preferable but being about 100% overpriced in India, i kept looking for a good induction capable substitute. (Bialetti Venus 6 cup costs 7k in India but about 3.5-3.8k INR in the US/JP). It makes about 5-6 cups of strong decoction (30-40ml servings). This is important. If you are expecting 6 full cups of coffee, moka pot is not for you. Suggested brewing methods: 1. Use Medium roasted finely ground beans (south Indian Flask grind) for 5-6 cups of espresso-like shots 2. Light roasted finely ground beans for a strong decoction. Dilute with hot water/milk to get 3 full cups of strong coffee. 3. Two table-spoons of slightly coarser grind (between French press and South Indian Flask) medium roast coffee to get one good cup of black coffee. Coarseness of grain should help avoid burning the coffee grounds.

I must say build quality is very good.i used it in induction as well as gas stove.In both cases moka is working fine.But I shall prefer Induction for longer age.May be Brand is not famous.But they are making pretty good moka pot.
