I ordered one product and received another. I had also noted that it was a gift, but the packaging was ruined and the price was stuck on it. Unacceptable

In my opinion, it's the best among the coffee substitutes sold outside. We've reached a point where you pay for coffee and don't understand coffee at coffee shops. With a good blend, you can have great coffee at home in all its variations. As for the foam, it needs to be boiled slowly, and if you want, you can whip it with a battery-operated frother, and you have your foam. You understand coffee, man, just the way you want it, with full aromas and flavors, everything. Because coffee is a ritual, not just a quick fix. Buy this tool yesterday...

Very high-quality construction, decent result, possibly better than cheap espresso machines. Be careful not to grind the coffee too finely because it will not produce coffee, resulting in pressure release from the safety valve. Before each use, lightly pull the valve to make sure it moves and any residue is removed, so it functions properly if needed.

In the photo it appears more matte, but it is actually quite glossy black. Otherwise, very good construction. Do not put it in the washing machine, it damages the aluminum!
