Coffee Doser Espresso

Update: 1 year later it's broken, the key doesn't turn any more. Sad! This is a phenomenal invention. Makes it so easy to fill the moka pot in the morning! You place it over the pot, turn the key 180 degrees to unlock it & dispense ground coffee, and then turn it 180 degrees again to close it and scoop up the excess coffee all at the same time. It really is excellent - works best on smaller pots.

This is one of the best purchases I ever made. I love it. No more grounds of coffee spilled. The optimum amount of coffee is dispensed into the espresso machine - regardless of which size machine you're using - through a domed scoop at the base. The only thing to remember is to check that the arrow on the handle is pointing down before removing it, as this is what indicates that the scoop is closed. If you lift it off and the arrow isn't pointing down, the coffee grounds will spill out everywhere, in true nightmare fashion. It took me a while to realise what the arrow on the handle was for, so I learned the hard way! I keep mine in the fridge, so the coffee stays fresh. The skinny brown strip you see at the base is a lid, just in case there are any stray grounds. Mine has been problem free and fully functioning in the 3 or so years I've owned it - I haven't experienced any of the problems that other reviewers have mentioned here. I can not recommend highly enough for you espresso drinkers out there!

I'm used to this instrument, as I only make coffee with the moka. It fits perfectly and gives you the right amount of coffee. It's also very easy to clean because every single piece is detachable and hence it can be cleaned fine. My only critique is that it doesn't spin smoothly, but it spins holdingly.

Shockingly low quality. The base doesnt stay on so spills coffe every time you pick it up. The twist handle is so stiff that Im' sure it will snap the flimsy plastic hinge after a few uses. Total rubbish. More junk plastic for the environment. First time Made in Italy is a negative for me. Was it though? Or was it actually China?

The lid is broken

I was looking for a Dosa Caffe, unavailable in the USA and hard to find elsewhere, when I came across this product, which does the same thing. The Snips is a bit more ergonomic with the tapered body, and easier on the eyes than the chrome and black Dosa Caffe. The action of the release is also slightly different, but just as effective. Grind your coffee, fill the Dispenser, then a simple twist of the knob delivers the exact amount of coffee needed every time, with no scattering of loose grounds on the counter, ready to screw on the top and brew.

Is upsolutly excellent

The item I received - and returned - was quite flimsy and white , I.e. the coffee image etc does not exist in the real item, only in the picture. Personally though that some plain flimsy white cylinder to load my moka machine, was too uninspiring. Do not know if would work.

Plastic on the inside scoop may rub against the sides, making it difficult to turn the knob to scoop.

Llegó en buen estado y funciona a la perfección, es muy cómodo. Estoy contenta

Love it so much. Puts the perfect amount out every time

Cooler Artikel, schöne Optik, jedoch nach fast zwei Monaten gebraucht ist das Rädchen abgebrochen zum dosieren des kaffe Pulvers. Ergo unbrauchbar

Perfetto!!!!!
