   Flimsy build. Warps on heating. Steam leaks near the handle making it dangerous.

   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 am a coffee lover and I like to brew my coffee using moka pots! In my collection I have multiple moka pots from various brands including Bialetti.
   Ordered this particular one from Pigeon brand and after using it I felt that its just about okay from the price point.

   The build quality is very flimsy and has sharp edges. If one is not careful while washing the base part one can easily have nasty cuts! The inside parts are unpolished and looks susceptible to rusting! Since the base part is made of very thin guage metal, if we use high heat, it tends to warp!

   Coming to the quality of brewing, this one is not a bad performer if you know how to make good coffee! To get the best coffee out of this we must follow these steps:

   1. Coffee powder should be medium ground. If the coffee powder is too fine then its will become like thick paste and will not allow the coffee to percolate into the chamber. I use a blend of pure coffee powder of Arabica and Robusta beans and get it ground to suit moka pots. South Indian filter powder is fine ground and may not work with percolators.

   2. To get the best results use hot water. This helps in reducing the brewing time and improves the taste. Please do use low to medium heat else this mocha pot will get damaged easily.

   3. Take of the heat as soon as the top chamber is filled with coffee or when you see only hot air is coming out indicating that coffee brewing is done.

   Please note that it is claimed that this percolator gives approximately 6 standard expresso cups of coffee(30ml per cup).

   The taste of the coffee brewed largly depends on the coffee powder and this one was able to give me a decent amount of coffee and I dont have any complaints about the yield or taste of the coffee. Just that the build quality is very flimsy and cant expect better quality from a Chinese product. This is just imported and marketed by Pigeon in India!

   I hope this helps you all in buying and making good coffee !
