This beautifully designed pot from Canadian manufacturer GROSCHE comes in four unique colors. The Milano pot comes in 3, 6 and 9-cup sizes and works well on all gas and electric stovetops. It also has an Italian safety valve to keep pressure from building to a dangerous level.
This stovetop espresso machine is something different: it features a sturdy but soft-touch rubber-coated heat-resistant plastic handle that adds a bit of non-standard look to the pot but also serves as burn guard for your fingers. There are three sizes available from 3 cups to as many as 9.
