Who is this best for?
Pros
- Zero electricity — works anywhere with a heat source (camping, travel, power cuts)
- Indestructible cast aluminum — lasts 30+ years with basic care
- No descaling or filter replacements ever needed
- Iconic Italian design — kitchen statement piece + functional brewer
Cons
- Not technically espresso (1.5-bar pressure vs 9-15 bar in real espresso machines) — purists call this 'moka coffee'
- Manual technique matters — burnt coffee is common for beginners who use high heat
- No milk frothing capability built-in (buy separate frother for ₹500-2000)
- 6 espresso cups means ~270ml of strong coffee — not large-batch suitable
