Ilsa - Slancio Espresso Maker 4 Cup - Stainless Steel

This is my absolute favorite way of making coffee! I can use my own choice of coffee beans and blend them fresh at home. It takes about 10 minutes from fresh grind to finished brew. (It is also so easy to clean!) I pair it with homemade almond milk to make a latte that tastes much better than any made in the cafes! If purchasing a stovetop for the first time, I'd pair it with a reputable conical grinder and a warming milk frother, the latter if you love lattes. I've had a Slancio for 15 years and sadly, a few weeks ago, the weld on the lid gave out. I immediately got online! Luckily, Cerini Coffee & Gifts had the Isla Slancio in stock! (Wahoo! I didn't want a different one.) In the USA, this stovetop has been out of stock for a whole year. I know this, because I've been wanting to get a second stovetop for when guests come over and to make my mornings easier. When I saw that Cerini Coffee had them in stock, I got on the phone and called to verify this was true on not out of date info on the web. It was true: a fresh shipment was back in stock. Customer service was fabulous! I ordered two! Shipping came from East Coast to West two days faster than originally estimated. Quality and construction is the same as my previous 15 year stovetop. I would absolutely recommend both the Ilsa Slancio and Cerini Coffer & Gifts!
