Works great. Makes amazing coffee!
Yes to THIS. The first thing you’ll notice, after using your old aluminum mocha pot is â the brew time is way faster with the Luxhaus. My old one took forever. Probably the seal.
The Luxhaus instructions urged customers ‘not’ to overfill the basket and ‘not’ to tamp… but this heats, brews/extracts so quickly (like, it begins to brew at about the 2 minute mark depending on if you’ve pre-heated your water and/or the temperature you heat it), I’ve been able to ignore their concerns.
So, I’m filling the basket full, I’m tamping and I’ve just started using a little finer grind, not that I want to slow down the extraction, I just want a rich cup of espresso. If you’re just wanting a great cup of coffee that tastes more like an Americano â fill the basket, tamp a bit, grind ‘medium’ – about like a commercial grind. Delicious also.
Note: I read all the reviews here first but pushed past some of the complaints because they sounded like they came from consumers who have little experience with coffee making in general… i.e. various brewing techniques, grind, etc.
I think a lot of coffee lovers who use a stove top espresso maker simply over-heat. You don’t need a super high flame if you’re using gas. I use the smallest size on my gas stove and set it to maybe low/medium. You do want a fast extraction so it might help to heat up your filtered water first. Not necessary but I sometimes do it.
Also, don’t wait around for that last foamy spew to burble out. Pour your coffee as soon as the upper ‘collector’ is full â like at the very moment all the sputtering begins… cuz the longer your coffee heats or boils, the more bitter it will taste.
Anyway, in my graphic designerly opinion, this mocha pot is beautiful, both in form and function. It’s stainless steel (stop using your aluminum one; toxic/heavy metals might cause neurodegenerative issues), easy to clean (soap/water).
I’ve only had it for about a month but so far and true â I don’t use it every morning because I have a Breville, a clever dripper, an Aeropress, pour-over devices, etc. I like to mix it up. But this is always in the mix.
So far, I have 0 complaints. I think the designers/manufacturers crushed it with this mocha pot. I love it.

Great value.
Initially purchased an inexpensive aluminum Moka Pot to see if I would like that concept for making an espresso coffee at home without the purchase of another appliance taking up more space on my kitchen countertop. After I learned how to successfully use it, along with the Artlife little burner (love it), I really enjoyed the stronger brew. Then I upgraded to this stainless steel Moka Pot, which I love even more! No metal taste from the pot which could affect the overall taste of your coffee. Works well, easy to clean and is a perfect size for me. A great purchase! Cheers~ âï¸

Works Well, Easy to Use, Makes a Good Cup of Coffee
I was looking for something to make espresso, but I didn’t want the complexity, cost or footprint of an espresso machine. A moka pot seemed to be a good compromise. While it isn’t espresso, it’s still a very strong shot of coffee with good extraction, and is a very good base for frothed milk drinks. I chose the LuxHaus primarily because it is stainless steel, an “Amazon Choice”, and is sold at what I consider to be a reasonable price point. I’ve had the LuxHaus moka pot for about a week, and so far I’m impressed. The results with dark roast coffee, or with New Orleans style chicory coffee have been excellent. I wasn’t as impressed with the results from a lighter roast coffee.
Using the LuxHaus moka pot is relatively easy, fill the lower chamber with water, add coffee to the basket, insert the basket into the lover chamber, screw on the upper chamber onto the lower chamber and place on a stove eye at medium heat. On my stove (gas) it takes six to eight minutes to make a pot. One tutorial I watched suggests starting with hot water for better coffee. I’ve done so, but can’t really tell the difference in the coffee. Cleaning the pot is relatively easy, but a bit messy. The biggest issue is getting the grounds out of the basket, it isn’t hard, but I end up using a paper towel to get all the grounds out, and to wipe clean the filter plates.
I’d recommend a moka pot for those who want coffee house style drinks, but don’t want full up espresso machines. I can also recommend the LuxHaus pot. It works as advertised, the LuxHaus pot itself seems very well made, and the coffee has been very good. The LuxHaus pot comes in a nice presentation box. According to the box, the pot is designed by LuxHaus and assembled in China. A card included with the pot says LuxHaus is run by a husband and wife out of their garage.

Good coffee pot
I have no dislikes. Great pot, makes really great coffee. Handle does not get hot and easy to clean. Instruction booklet is really helpful, after all these years (Iâm 77) able to make a good pot of coffee. Been using too high a heat all this time. Looks great seems well made, time will tell.

Almost a month I was looking for a good quality coffee maker. Now I am very disappointed how the stainless coffee maker could be rusty and black inside and outside in a month of use. Just wasted money.

There are so many subtleties using a moka pot reviews can vary due to people not having the skills required to make a great cup of coffee, these little coffee makers are not necessarily user-friendly. By making sure you follow the directions and use boiling water in the base, not packing down the coffee in the basket, using a courser rather than a finer grind, and taking your time, you will produce a fantastic cup of coffee. This particular design and brand is the epitome of this type of coffee maker and it’s beautifully executed and a lifelong piece of equipment that will last for years and years. Great. value fore a truly excellent product.

The LuxHaus has proven to be an ideal means of making our daily expresso coffee and I am pleased that it is stainless steel and not aluminium. However it should advertised as only a two cup not three unless of course someone is thinking of smaller coffee cups used years ago.
