If you're an espresso lover but don't love the amount of real estate most espresso machines take up on your kitchen counter, a Moka pot may be the perfect solution. The stovetop espresso makers can brew the same rich espresso you love without the mess or hassle that comes with larger espresso makers. They're also more affordable. In fact, one of our favorites, the Grosche Milano Stovetop Espresso Maker, is on sale now at Amazon.
Made with thick, durable aluminum, a heat-resistant handle, and a silicone gasket, Grosche's Milano is built to last and priced to compete.

- High-quality parts
- Great for gas, electric, and camp stoves

Our kitchen editors on the Reviews Team have tested dozens of coffee and espresso makers, including several moka pots. The Grosche Milano's durable construction and consistent performance ultimately made it our favorite stovetop espresso maker we've tried. Like other espresso machines, moka pots rely on pressure to brew the perfect espresso, so it's important to have a good seal. Unlike many other moka pots, which have rubber gaskets that wear out over time, the Grosche Milano features a silicone gasket, which creates a better seal and lasts longer.
The Grosche Milano also features a heat-resistant silicone handle and knob that help you avoid burning your hands even while the pot heats up on the stove. The pot can brew up to three cups of espresso at a time and works on both gas and electric stovetops. Plus, it's available in 11 fun colors, so you can match it to the aesthetic of your kitchen.

With over 17,000 five-star reviews, Amazon shoppers clearly love this moka pot as much as we do. "Upon arrival, I was super impressed! It's very solid, easy to use, easy to clean, and of course, the coffee is delicious (it's hard to go back to drip coffee after stovetop espresso)," said one reviewer. "The handle is much better than other models, including the original Moka Pot, because the design protects your hand from accidentally toasting the back of your finger on the pot, and the material stays relatively cool as well."
Shoppers were also impressed with how easy the brewing process is. "As someone who is new to making espresso at home, I was pleasantly surprised by how straightforward it is to use this moka pot. It's a breeze to assemble, fill it with water, add coffee grounds, and place it on the stovetop," said another reviewer. "What I appreciate the most is the consistency of the espresso it produces. Each time I use it, I get a rich, flavorful cup of espresso with a perfect crema. It's like having a little piece of Italy in my kitchen…The parts come apart easily, and I can clean them thoroughly without any hassle."
