Classic stove top cappuccino maker. Very heavy duty-feeling. Black plastic-looking parts are all bakelite. Makes superior microfoam (see first review here, it is accurate: https://www.amazon.ca/Taylor-Ng-Bellman-Stovetop-Espresso/dp/B003QVDRSC#customerReviews ) Notice the selling price; these go for a lot of money, so any offers must be close to asking. This would make a nice gift, this holiday season. This unit is in perfect working condition; not really used that much. Manual included. Although stainless steel, it is an alloy that works perfectly on our induction stove, as the instruction manual suggests. Note: the right type of coffee grind is important for proper functioning—not the finest, but around halfway (3-4) between Turkish (1) and percolator(9-10)
