Pigeon Xpresso Stainless Steel Stovetop Coffee Percolator | South Indian Kaapi Maker | Moka Pot Espresso Maker | Mocha Pot Authentic Coffee Brewer- (6 Cups) 500ml,Silver

Love this product . I use it everyday to have a fresh cup of black coffee. Easy to use. Prepared black coffee in 3 minutes. Easy to use. Much better then coffee machines- which are expensive and difficult to maintain and clean.
This product is very easy to use and clean.

Makes very good coffee decoction.

I Used before embassy percolator 6cups, was heavier in mettle and glossy in finish, The reason I ordered this was coz my previous percolator was leaking water from the safety valve. HERE i want to give checkpoint to all readers * which I get from Embassy, they suggest after listening to my issue – if the steam leak from a valve, it may chock of percolator’s neckline or tiny holes may block of filter, clean first that pipe with via removal of below gasket and filter clean, with thin bottle brush available for clean especially this narrow pipe. most of the problem get resolve with cleaning. as i resolved mine. they told – if water also starts leaking it can be the defect and need to replace valve which is available with them .. i find it is a big support.

also, I find of this percolator have a sleek upper body part and also very Important in buying decision, practically it is not 500ml, less than 400 ml and below safety valve water can come around 300ml, and Upper body can hold only this 300 ml amount of water. But the price is good, and thinking if it supports to filter coffee making for next couple of months, it will be more than good.

and finally after twice trail, i find the defect in joining of two cups continues leakage of water and steam and its pure defect. so i prefer return.

I purchased the pigeon 6 cup coffee percolate a few weeks ago. I’ve been using it quite regularly up until now and found no reasons to complain.

Pros:
1) Solid and ergonomic design
2) You almost get the claimed 6 cups of coffee, however whenever I’ve used it’s around 4.5-5 cups.

Cons:
1) Because the lid sits within the percolator, the steam built up inside the percolator escapes upwards from the edges and becomes an issue when you pin the lid in its place while pouring hot decoction into another container. This is a major design flaw I noticed I have burnt my hands/fingers a few times already. Solution to this is that the lid has to extend out of the percolator so that the steam is directed sideways and not upwards.
2) The lever allowed to hold is slightly smaller for people who have longer fingers. For a big finger person like me I have to pick up the percolator with 2 fingers – because that’s how much space is there.

Overall the product does what it was purchased for.
