Testing the espresso maker from VINTAGENUSS gave us a lot of pleasure and, above all, an enjoyable coffee break . The quick and easy preparation is another advantage. A specialty coffee is ready in just a few steps. First, the lower part is filled with water. To shorten the preparation time, we have already filled it with warm water. The coffee powder is then poured into the metal filter until it is full. After screwing the top and bottom together, the stove can be placed on the hob. To avoid burning the coffee, we only set the hob to a medium setting. As soon as the water boils, the finished espresso starts to collect in the upper part of the espresso maker. The espresso is ready within a few minutes.
Another positive feature is the ergonomic handle. It does not heat up and retains its original temperature. This makes pouring easier and protects against burns. Thanks to the high-quality material, the espresso maker can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher, but it is also easy to clean by hand and the “dirt” can be easily removed. The espresso maker from VINTAGENUSS is suitable for electric, ceramic hobs, gas hobs, induction hobs and fires. This makes it the perfect companion for on the go.
