Vulnerability found in Mini Espresso Gadget

MMMmmm.

Recently my business partner gave me one of these marvelous machines from across the ocean. A gift from Italy.

The problem I usually encounter with these mini espresso makers is that they are all designed for electric stoves. The base is so small it will drop through the grate of my gas stove. This one fits, barely. It’s steady enough, but it’s in a precarious position. When you remove one cup the unit becomes further unbalanced. Combine that with the brass hooks that are just waiting to catch the cup as you remove it and you have a recipe for DISASTER:

AAAaaargh.
