I tried Crio Bru several years ago & really enjoyed it but wasn't able to get because it was too expensive. I saw the recent ad to try it which included the espresso pot or French Roast pot. I have a French Press so opted for the espresso pot. The first pot I made all went well. However, now it still works but when I pour from the pot it leaks where it's connected at the seal. I place it all together right and tighten so there shouldn't be a leak. It consistently leaks now so not happy about that. Guess I'll use my French press instead. But was hoping I would be able to make espresso.
