Bellman CX25P

Yes, the Bellman CX25P is compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas and electric stoves. Its stainless steel construction ensures it works across most heat sources.

The CX25P is a manual stovetop device, so it does not generate the exact 9 bars of pressure found in commercial electric machines. However, the integrated pressure gauge allows you to monitor the extraction and achieve a rich, concentrated coffee that is very close to traditional espresso.

It requires a bit of practice to master the steam wand, as it is manually operated. Once you get the hang of the pressure buildup, it is capable of producing high-quality microfoam suitable for latte art.

Because it is made of durable 18/8 stainless steel, it is quite robust and easy to clean. You should rinse the basket and steam wand thoroughly after each use and perform a deeper cleaning of the seals periodically to ensure longevity.

The CX25P is designed to brew between 3 and 9 cups. While you can use less water and coffee to brew a smaller amount, it is optimized for larger batches, so it is best suited for those who want to make multiple servings at once.

At 5.64 lbs and just over 7 inches tall, it is compact and durable enough for camping trips. Since it requires no electricity, it is an excellent way to make cafe-style drinks off the grid, provided you have a reliable camp stove.
