While it is designed for gas, electric, and induction stovetops, you can use it on a campfire if you have a stable grate or grill surface. Be careful to position it away from direct, intense flames to prevent damaging the handle or components.

Cleaning is straightforward. Once the unit has cooled, simply unscrew the base, discard the grounds, and rinse the components with water. Because it is made of stainless steel, it is easy to wipe down and doesn't retain odors.

The double-wall insulation is effective at retaining heat compared to a standard single-wall cup, ensuring your espresso stays at an enjoyable temperature while you drink it. It also prevents the exterior from becoming too hot to hold.
