I had one like that but it never seemed to work very well and I was concerned that it was possibly made of aluminum so I got rid of it. But a few years ago I got a stainless steel one from Ikea, Googled for instructions and found to my pleasant surprise that it makes some really fine coffee.
It's not really espresso since that is made under a great deal of pressure which these "stove-top espresso" pots cannot achieve. So it's a unique coffee preparation: near espresso. Frank, did you use super finely ground coffee? Did you tamp it down in the filter cup? Did you ensure the gasket was in place when you assembled the pot? Placed it on a high heat?
