The FANTEC Rosberg R51173BP3 stovetop moka pot brews up to three small cups of concentrated coffee using a classic pressure-based percolation system. Constructed from aluminum with a red finish, this compact espresso maker is lightweight and suitable for use on gas and electric hobs. Its simple design consists of a lower water chamber, a filter basket for ground coffee, and an upper collecting chamber, enabling straightforward preparation of strong, stovetop-style espresso at home, during travel, or while camping.
Advantages
The aluminum construction provides quick heat transfer and reduced weight, while the compact three-cup capacity limits waste for small households or individual servings. Its red finish offers a visible, easy-to-locate kitchen accessory without affecting brewing performance. The moka pot's pressure-based extraction produces a rich, concentrated coffee concentrate suitable for milk-based drinks or straight consumption. Compatibility with both gas and electric hobs means versatile placement in most household kitchen setups.

How to use
Fill the lower chamber with water up to the safety valve level, insert the filter basket and fill it with medium-fine ground coffee without tamping, then screw the upper chamber tightly onto the base. Place the assembled moka pot on a compatible hob set to medium heat. When brewing finishes, remove from heat once coffee stops gurgling and allow the moka pot to cool slightly before serving. Clean components after each use by rinsing with warm water and avoiding abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish and the aluminum surface.
Usage recommendations
Use filtered water and freshly ground coffee for consistent taste. Avoid using overly fine espresso grind to prevent clogging and excessive pressure. Do not use on induction hobs unless an appropriate induction adapter plate is employed. Inspect the rubber gasket and safety valve periodically and replace worn parts to maintain safe operation.
