I bought the Imusa moka pot in Walmart, my first, and I have learnt that I should not have gone economy on this. Its indeed affordable, works, but, its small, single serve, and just feels economy. Biggest pain is the plastic handle that will definitely get ruined cause of being cooked over heat. The manual says not to put it over heat, which is where the moka pot works. Lol. Sucks, but i am espresso cool.

  1. I try to place the moka pot with handle as far from the flame as possible, and the flame a low as is functional.
  2. I recently started using a paper filter in the moka, and really think it improves the flavor, while also reducing triterpenes in the cup.

note: I have a stainless Bialetti.
note 2: What if you made a handle to replace that one which doesn't angle towards the flame?

    It cost 10 bucks and was my experiment to see if I would enjoy it, so, I'm not going to bang more money into it except making coffee. I will upgrade some day and the experience from the one I have will steer me right.
