Villaware VV003-41806 Aromatico Stovetop Espresso Maker - 6 cup

I wanted a stove-top cappuccino maker that I could put in the dishwasher. I think the aluminum ones are better. I just don't care for the way this one handles.

This espresso maker does a good job, but 1) it is not entirely stainless. The screw holding down the knob rusts. I had to go to a local hardware to replace it with a stainless screw that would not rust. 2) unit is sometimes difficult to take apart....

I have used two different kinds of Italian coffee makers. Villaware stands out because the handle doesn't get hot, and the lid is easy to open. It is a fine machine. I recommend.
