For barista-level coffee drinks at home, most people assume you need a fancy (and bulky) espresso machine or complicated gadgets to get the job done. But just one brew with the London Sip Stovetop Espresso Maker proves that wrong. Unlike other stovetop brewers that aren’t compatible with all burners, the London Sip works on any cooktop because it’s made from rust-proof, non-corroding stainless steel, not aluminum—we also like the long heat-proof handle that protects our hands from steam. Simply add hot water to the chamber, fill up the filter basket with coffee grounds and set the stove to medium-low. As the water in the chamber boils, steam in the pot will create pressure, forcing the water up through the grounds to brew a full-bodied, concentrated cup of coffee.
Compact with only a few pieces to assemble, the London Sip is a quick and easy way to make anything from lattes to espresso shots at home with ease. Best of all, unlike some smaller pots, the London Sip can brew up to six cups (equivalent to six shots of espresso), so you can make more than one drink at a time.
