This stove is only leaking, if you do not carefully screwed it together. It is true that for a little flair is needed. Then really nice pull tight and nothing works out where it is not to run out.
Stops that water in the lower vessel in my opinion is completely normal! How could all the water go up? This can not go yet, because the tube that leaves the water still does not terminate above the floor. Since there is for me anyway nothing to complain about. A puddles stays down - up comes out wonderful espresso. And thanks to induction everything within a short time.
Although I tightly zudrehe beautiful, I previously had no problems, the two parts to solve each other again. Off to the dishwasher - ready.
I still have the little stove in use (are not always friends since, like the coffee also). For these same applies!
From me, saying a clear buy recommendation!
