There´s not that much to say besides of that this is the Espresso Maker i had in my dreams for the last couple of years when i was unhappy with the "Bialetti" machine y used to have and unhappy to buy this huge Stand-alone Espresso machines. Coffee is amazing, the use is (in my eyes) simple and it´s just great to have all this in such a small, minimalistic design. There´s just two points i am a little bit unhappy. First is the weight. This thing is heavy!!!! So unfortunately you will never ever bring it in your backpack to a summit nor to the beach or to any other remote place where you have to think of the weight you bring. SAD! The other thing is the Chimney. Guys, seriously? You graded this beautiful clear design, all made of stainless- and forged stainless stell down buy adding this tiny little plastic piece of chimney. Obviously it doesn´t bring down the quality of the result but in my eyes it just doesn´t fit to the sophisticated rest of the design. My suggestion: V2 in (if technically possible) titan and weigh reduced with a sexier chimney. BOOOOM!
