I just picked up an old stovetop espresso maker for $1. The bottom says "T.C.L. Milano, Made in Italy". It is complete and the gasket looks great, not used much. I see that they are very common but the instrucions do not seem to be. Does anyone know where I can find instructions or a manual?

Thank you, John

dear john, i have your same problem;my tcl milan seems never used; the people i got it from said they could not make it work and had a manual but it was in Italian and now lost. It can not be too hard: amount of water, heat,coffe. I tried to look up the TCL company on the web but had no luck. Please share if you find out anything or have any further ideas, and I will surely do the same. Best, Jon

I have the same problem! I have a stovetop espresso/capuccino maker that I bought years ago, new, and could never get it to work! If you find instructions, let me know. Thanks. ken
