I opened the box examined the product and immediately repacked it. Quality is not worth the money imo. The despensing valve knob is plastic. The despensing spout was put on at a slight angle which wouldn't necessarily harm performance but it's just annoying. Also, there does not seem to be a way to fully open the metal pot for cleaning.Definite "steampunk"! Came almost two weeks faster than expected with no additional duties. Quality is okay for a knock-off coming from China but the original ones are super expensive. Instructions are minimal but there are lots of videos online. Takes about 13-14 minutes from cold water. Worked flawlessly. Super hot coffee and smooth finish, better than I expected. Need very fine grind and more than it says, but that may be my taste. Quite happy so far.Extra fancy. Nice to talk about but haven't made coffee in it yet. I use my Japanese coffee siphon all the time.look weird and work well.. all that you wish for.It works and it is beautiful! Make sure to follow the instructions for a good coffee.
