I'll write a semi-detailed review of this great little find that I bought on Prime Day. I like coffee and different ways to make it, so other than my coffee maker and french press, I was missing one of these. My opinions so far -
The look: Super clean lines, shiny without looking chintsy, very angular, looks different from every other kitchen item I have (in a good way). The unit seems very well-made, nothing rattles, nothing feels cheap.
The feel: the espresso maker feels top-notch with a comfortable handle, a sturdy top and a bottom section that holds the water. It's not light like aluminum, not heavy like thick steel, and it won't feel flimsy when you're using it.
Using it: pretty easy! Pour water into the bottom section (careful not to overfill), place the coffee tray in with unpacked coarse-ground coffee, screw the top portion in and place on low heat with the handle out of direct heat. After a while (play with the heat to see what works for you) it'll fill up the top portion with delicious espresso coffee.
Cleaning it: this is a trickier part, but not hard. Wait until the unit cools off, unscrew the top part, throw out the grounds, and rinse the parts down with water. No dishwasher, and no soap per the directions.
Support: MateoJo was FANTASTIC when it came to support. The instructions that came with the unit were precise and easy to understand, and they send emails after your purchase detailing pretty much everything about using and maintaining the espresso maker.
Summary: I really like this easy-to-use and absolutely gorgeous little espresso maker. Friends of mine have loved looking at it and seeing how easy it is to make real coffee. I'd recommend this to coffee enthusiasts in a heartbeat, for the price, features, functions and looks.

Great espresso maker.
This the best stovetop espresso maker I've had yet. Each time I use it it fills up perfectly to the same level (see the picture). The seal between the upper and lower parts is great. It hasn't leaked at all. This product cleans very easily. I usually give it a cleaning after each use with just water and my bare hand. Sometimes I use a scouring pad that is safe for non stick pots and pans in order to get the books and crannies. Dispelling the myths: 1. NEVER USE SOAP OR PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER. IT WILL RUIN IT!!! 2. Coffee/condensation will build up on the inner part of the lid. That is normal. When you lift the lid, some coffee might spill onto the stovetop. THAT IS NOT A LEAK!!! It is gravity pulling the liquid from the lid to the ground. 3. Handles only melt if you let the heat from the stovetop melt it. Always make sure the heat is not directly below the handle, otherwise it will melt. If you have a gas stove like mine, the diameter of the flame should not be larger that the bottom of the heating vessel or chamber. If you have a coil or ceramic stovetop, the handle should not be over the heating element. Overall this is a great espresso machine that is at a great price point! UPDATE: My handle melted. Why? Because the pin holding it in place broke and the handle lowered and made contact with the metal. So it melted. I tried to contact MateoJo by calling and emailing them. Nothing. No response. No callback. Not even an auto reply email. Its been months and nothing. So I don't use it and I now use a single serve black & decker coffee maker. I love that thing. So, overall, its a good product while it lasts and MateoJo's customer service is less than desirable.
