Before the first use with hot water and a little detergent, rinse brush (Antikorosive layer of fat on the inside).
My girlfriend and I make us so for breakfast always latte macchiato. The amount of coffee is enough for 3-6 servings, depending on how strong it is drunk.
To save time I fill usually hot instead of cold tap water into the container, making the function no difference.
Disassembly and reassembly for cleaning is at 5 parts incl. Sealing ring a self-goers. The cleaning itself is hassle free, clear water is quite sufficient. For dishwasher suitability I can not say anything.
The thread is smooth (! Do not turn the handle!) But very dense. When cooking maximum 3-4 drops of water emerge, which evaporate immediately on the outer wall of the container.
The delivery was quick and simple, neat packaging.
I would recommend the Baletti Espressokocher in full. Does exactly what it should!
