Slightly different 'espresso' maker

UNM

Just spotted this unusual variation. Kinda like a stove top 'espresso' only different.

Just seems wrong in so many ways. Almost worth buying just to protect someone else from making a terrible mistake.

WTF. With so many volatile oils etc in coffee, microwaving is possibly the worst idea ever for extraction. Not to mention that it's pointless - can't you just (almost) boil a kettle???

I think you need to look at the other items the seller has for sale to understand where this fits.... ...or doesn't....

I actually considered one of these or work many years ago. I don't think it makes authentic espresso however.... more like a big steaming cup of crud.  I will admit to owning many years ago a Mr Espresso Maker by Black and Decker.  The instructions clearly stated that one was not to use milk, So naturally I filled that bad boy up with milk and it went bang.  Needless to say I'm forbidden from owning $8 microwavable espresso pot because what I see as a delightful experiment my wife sees the death of the microwave.  One day I'll tell you ho w I killed our commercial paper shredder.
