10 best geyser coffee makers

Geyser coffee makers for gas stoves have become widely popular in Europe; they are in great demand in Italy. Traditionally, such a device can hold from 1 to 18 40 ml cups of delicious espresso. A gas geyser coffee maker is the most famous and very practical device for making espresso. Its design consists of several parts.

The lower tank is for water and equipped with a safety valve
A filter funnel with a tube for ground coffee is inserted into the lower compartment
Upper tank for finished drink

The principle of operation is surprisingly simple: when water is heated, it forms steam, which pushes water out of the lower reservoir through a strainer-funnel. Water passing through ground coffee absorbs all the taste and aroma of the future drink. All! All that remains is to pour the excellent coffee into cups.

Pour the required amount of water into the lower part, pour coffee into the funnel and tamp lightly, screw on the coffee maker and put it on the stove - 5 minutes the espresso is ready. If desired, you can add milk foam or syrups to the finished drink.

You can buy such a coffee maker inexpensively in our online store with home delivery, choosing the option that suits you.

Bohmann BH-9502

This model with a useful volume of 200 ml consists of four parts: a compartment for ground coffee beans, a water container, a mesh that acts as a filter, and a place for the finished drink. The parts are firmly fixed to each other thanks to a threaded mechanism.

Tip: Do not use finely ground beans: water will not be able to pass through the coffee. It is better to stay at a medium degree of grinding of grains.

Main advantages:

The handle located on the body is made of bakelite, a material with low thermal conductivity. Thanks to this, the handle does not heat up: you can handle it without oven mitts without fear of getting burned.
Easy to clean: If the owner of the BH-9502 has a dishwasher, then he does not have to wash the coffee maker by hand.
This option is compatible with any stove: it can be placed on a gas, glass-ceramic, halogen and induction burner.

It is worth remembering: it is advisable to wash the product without abrasives - hard materials can scratch the coffee maker, which will lead to a metallic taste in the coffee.

How to choose a geyser coffee maker

It is necessary to choose a geyser coffee maker taking into account the following indicators:

type of device - a coffee maker can be classic (for making coffee on the stove) or electric. According to the owners, using the latter is much easier;
capacity - modern models are designed to prepare 1-6 servings of drink. You need to choose based on how many people will regularly drink coffee;
body and handle material – coffee makers are usually made of stainless steel and aluminum. The handle must be made of non-heating material and be securely fixed;
size, weight and design – ideal devices are miniature and light in weight. Be sure to have a nice design that will please the eye.

Vinzer 89387

The model from the Swiss brand is made of durable aluminum and equipped with an intake valve made of copper. The model is quite compact - its dimensions are 24x15x15 cm. The coffee maker weighs 0.4 kilograms.

What's good:

With this coffee maker, the user can prepare espresso for eleven people at once (40 ml portions).
The manufacturer equipped the Vinzer 89387 with a handle made of bakelite, a heat-resistant material: the owner will not get burned even if he grasps the handle with bare hands.
This model is suitable for almost all heat sources: it can be placed on a gas burner or an electric stove.

It is worth remembering: the manufacturer recommends washing this coffee maker by hand. In this case, it is undesirable to use abrasive materials, for example, a rigid metal mesh. A surface scratched from the inside will lead to an unpleasant metallic tint in the drink in the future.

The disadvantages of this coffee maker include the fact that it is not compatible with induction cookers.

The operating principle of geyser coffee makers

The operating principle of geyser devices, consisting of two parts tightly adjacent to each other, is based on steam pressure. After the user fills the lower compartment of the device with water, and a special filter with ground coffee, and installs the device on the stove, the liquid will gradually begin to heat up and turn into steam.

Then, under the influence of high temperature and pressure, the steam will pass through the funnel with coffee and rise to the upper section, saturated with flavor and aromatic properties. As a result, the gourmet receives an excellent drink that can be immediately poured into a cup.

Bohmann BH-9506

This option is made of stainless steel - a durable material resistant to mechanical damage. Like other geyser-type coffee makers, this model is equipped with three containers, which are separated by a special filtration element. The container located at the bottom is for water, the compartment in the middle is for powdered beans, and the one at the top is for the finished drink.

To treat yourself to coffee, the user only needs to fill the tanks and place the coffee maker on the stove. The drink is ready when steam comes out from under the lid.

3 nice features of the coffee maker:

The BH-9506 is durable thanks to its durable stainless steel.
The owner of this coffee maker can forget about oven mitts: its handle is made of bakelite. This material does not heat up: the user will not get burned if he handles it with bare hands to pour hot coffee into cups.
This coffee maker is capable of preparing seven to eight cups of drink at a time: its owners have the opportunity to immediately prepare coffee for themselves and for guests.

Peterhof Presto PH-12527-4

Tip: to ensure tasty coffee and not clog the filters of the coffee maker, it is recommended to use a medium grind.

4 main features:

Even with active use, the sieve retains its shape - you won’t need to change it after a couple of months.
The user will be able to remove the coffee maker from the stove with bare hands without fear of getting burned: Presto PH-12527-4 is equipped with a bakelite handle that does not heat up.
This is the best option for serving coffee to five people: it will prepare five espresso shots of 40 ml each at once.
