Overview
A 400W electric moka pot that brews 3 espresso-sized cups using its own heating base instead of a stovetop burner, made of aluminum with a silver finish, for anyone who wants stovetop-style espresso without the stove.
The 3 cup sizing refers to 3 espresso-sized servings, not 3 regular mugs, which has confused some buyers used to drip coffee makers. Reviewers also note it has no auto shutoff, so it is meant to be watched rather than left brewing unattended, and pouring works better with the lid open than closed.
- 400W electric heating base
- Aluminum construction with silver finish
- Makes 3 espresso-sized cups per batch
- No stovetop needed
Who it's for
Suited to espresso or Italian coffee drinkers who want a countertop or travel-friendly moka pot without a stovetop, including hotel or desk use. Not suited to anyone wanting drip-coffee mug-sized servings or expecting full espresso machine pressure and crema.

Questions about the Uniware 89501-3
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
How many cups does the Uniware 3 Cup Espresso Maker actually make?
Three espresso-sized cups, not three regular coffee mugs, since it is built on the same serving size as a traditional moka pot.
Does it turn off automatically when brewing finishes?
No, reviewers note it lacks an auto shutoff, so it is best not to walk away and forget it is on.
Can I brew a smaller amount than a full pot?
You can, but at least one reviewer found a half-pot brew weaker since the hot water does not fully pass through all the coffee grounds.
