Know before you buy
Yes, the Roma is constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, making it fully compatible with induction, gas, and electric stovetops.
While it brews a very rich, concentrated espresso-style coffee, it does not generate the high pressure required to create true crema like a professional pump-driven machine.
The sizes are based on 2-ounce espresso cups. If you prefer a larger serving or plan to make lattes, the 6-cup or 10-cup models are generally more practical than the 4-cup version.
The handle is designed to stay cooler than the body of the pot, but it can still get warm depending on the heat intensity. It is recommended to use a kitchen towel or oven mitt when pouring.
The 25-year warranty reflects the durability of the high-quality 18/10 stainless steel construction, ensuring the pot remains a reliable part of your coffee routine for decades.
Yes, the stainless steel design is straightforward to clean. It is recommended to hand wash the components with mild soap and ensure they are completely dry before reassembling.
