Material Matters – Stainless Steel vs Aluminium

  • Stainless Steel: Resistant to corrosion, compatible with induction cooktops, and known for durability and easy maintenance. Maintains coffee purity without altering flavour.
  • Aluminium: Lightweight and efficient at heat conduction, offering traditional stovetop brewing performance at an accessible price point.

Choosing the Right Espresso Maker Size

  • 1–3 Cups: Ideal for individuals or couples who enjoy a single serving at a time.

  • 6–9 Cups: Perfect for entertaining or larger families.
  • 10+ Cups: Designed for offices, gatherings, or frequent hosting.

Choose capacity based on how many espresso servings you typically prepare at once. Cup measurements refer to espresso-sized servings rather than full mugs.

How to Brew Espresso Using a Stovetop Maker

Fill the lower chamber with filtered water, add finely ground coffee to the filter basket (without compressing it), and assemble the unit securely. Place on the stovetop over medium heat. Once brewing begins and you hear a gentle bubbling sound, remove from heat and serve immediately for the best flavour.

Care & Maintenance Tips

Rinse your espresso maker with warm water after each use and allow it to dry completely before storage. Avoid harsh detergents, as they may affect flavour. Regular cleaning prevents residue buildup and helps maintain optimal brewing performance.

Frequently Asked Questions – Espresso Coffee Makers (NZ)

How does a stovetop espresso maker work?

It uses steam pressure generated by heated water to push water through finely ground coffee, producing a concentrated espresso-style brew.

Is an espresso maker suitable for induction cooktops?

Stainless steel espresso makers are typically induction compatible. Always check product specifications before purchase.

What grind size should I use?

Use a fine grind similar to table salt. Avoid overly fine espresso machine grind, as it may block the filter and affect extraction.

How often should I descale my espresso maker?

Descale periodically depending on water hardness. In many New Zealand regions, descaling every few months helps prevent mineral buildup.

How long does a stovetop espresso maker last?

With proper cleaning and maintenance, a quality espresso maker can last many years, offering reliable daily performance.
