Cuisinox Roma Satin Stainless Steel Stovetop Moka Pot (6 cup)

1. What touches the water and coffee 45% of the rating 4 of 5

   Stainless steel pot and filter, with no coating or aluminum. Minor gaps: one brass safety valve with no lead-free statement, a silicone or rubber gasket, and a handle material that is not stated.

2. Independent testing 10% of the rating 1 of 5

   We found no test of this pot by anyone, and Cuisinox publishes none; its PTFE and PFAS statement is unbacked.

3. Durability 20% of the rating 5 of 5

   A 25-year limited warranty on most Cuisinox items, an extra gasket in the box, and gaskets, filters, valves and even the bottom boiler are sold as parts.

4. Trust 10% of the rating 3 of 5

   No recall or Prop 65 notice names Cuisinox, and it states its material and claims plainly. It does not say where the pot is made or mention the brass valve on the product page.

5. Value 15% of the rating 3 of 5

   About $135 is several times the price of a basic moka pot, partly offset by the 25-year warranty and sold parts.

The rating, 3.7 of 5, is the weighted average of these scores. See how we rank coffee makers & gear and our standard.

Is any part brass?

Cuisinox sells the safety valve for its stainless moka pots as a separate part and lists it as brass (Cuisinox (opens in a new tab)). The pot’s own page does not mention it. We found no lead-free statement. It sits on the lower chamber, so hot water and steam can touch it.

Is it really free of PTFE and PFAS?

Cuisinox says “BPA, PTFE, PFAS, and PFOA free” on the product page. We found no test and no coating described. Mamavation (opens in a new tab) (affiliate income) lists Cuisinox’s Roma Satin (the 10-cup size) among its best picks, because stainless steel stovetop makers avoid the PTFE it says is standard in electric machines; that is a materials survey, not a test.

Does moka coffee raise cholesterol like espresso?

A moka pot has no paper filter, and paper is what removes the diterpenes (cafestol and kahweol) that raise LDL cholesterol (our coffee page). We found no measurement for moka coffee. If LDL cholesterol is a concern, a paper-filter brewer is the safer pick.

Where is it made?

Cuisinox’s product, FAQ and about pages do not say. We could not confirm the country of manufacture.

• Stainless steel, not aluminum. Cuisinox describes the pot as heavy-gauge 18/10 stainless steel and says it works on induction, gas and electric stoves.
• Built to be kept: a 25-year limited warranty on most Cuisinox items, an extra gasket in the box, and gaskets, funnel filters, safety valves and the bottom boiler sold as parts.
• Cuisinox says the pot is “BPA, PTFE, PFAS, and PFOA free”, a plain statement that most electric espresso machines do not make.
• Mamavation, which earns affiliate income, lists the Roma Satin (the 10-cup size) among its best stovetop picks.

• The safety valve is brass, per Cuisinox’s listing for the part, with no lead-free statement.
• No test backs any claim, and the pages we read give no country of manufacture.
• It brews without paper, and paper is what removes the diterpenes that raise LDL cholesterol.
• It costs about $135, several times a basic moka pot, and moka coffee is not true espresso. Cuisinox’s store can show Canadian dollars, so check the currency before you pay. We found the satin 6-cup at only one store besides Cuisinox, Amazon.
