Started using the Kamira a year ago. If you know what you are doing (there are many small things to do that could ruin the brew), you will drink the most delicious coffee ever. Not even a professional espresso machine could match it, no joke.
The Kamira looks like so much fun! I'm a bit worried about how to keep the water chamber dry and clean between use to prevent mould though.
It is! Usually I boil some water before use, and after the brew i let it sit on the flame for a brief time to evaporate all water left overs with the valve open. Also you're supposed to boil some vinegar inside it for 5 to 10 minutes every 1 or 2 months, effectively cleaning everything. After 1 year no signs or smell of mold. If you ever have the possibility to try it, just do it and follow a reliable guide.
Have you compared the brew to the output of a Moka? I mean I am pretty sold just from the gadgetry point of view anyway.
Pretty much the opposite. I would consider the moka as a good coffe tea if compared. That thing can produce incredibly strong single shots, and it's usually stronger than your average espresso.
