Is the round Musa pot any more difficult to open than the hexagonal Moka?

I don't think so. One important difference between the round and hexagonal moka pot is the material. This one (the round one) is made of stainless steel whereas the hexagonal one is made of aluminum. The aluminum can pick up flavors from the oils in coffee. If these oils go rancid (from lack of use) it can spoil the coffee.

Yes slightly more,however i find I don,t need to tighten it as much as my old alum hexagon pot

I used a small flat screw driver and patiently pried it open trying various sides. It did not hurt the casing. But I agree that it is a little difficult and should have an indent to allow for a tool. The screw is hardly needed.

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

It wasn't the twist to open. You had to put the metal sticks through. It was a bit frustrating because the directions weren't that clear but we still figured it out in a short time. I'd still recommend this tent though, she loves it!

Although this knife can be opened one handed it is somewhat difficult. Hardly a one handed opening system in the true sense.

Not difficult at all! If you are looking at the picture, the water reservoir section opens to the right. The other main top part opens backwards like a lid. You pop out the coffee basket (easy) and then the entire top silver part that is showing above the display comes right out.

I had a dickens of a time getting it to close as well. I had to eventually, but mindfully paying attention and pushed them together with a little bit of force. They are hard to open too. I would say I hate the aggravation of that immensely, however, that also means it isn't going to give easily if dropped!

It is difficult to open. I used a small pocket knife with the blade along the seam to help pry the two halves apart.

I don't remember having any difficulty. I may have used a small rubber mallet and a wash cloth to get them together.

When opening the lid after freshly cooked rice, I wouldn't say it's hard to open, but it does open slowly due to the pressue. Also for the love that is all holy gently guide the lid down. This past TG I witnessed my mom trying to play whack-a-mole with my lid and immediately showed her that it needs to be guided down gently until it locks. Hope this helps & enjoy your cooker! The umami & gaba rice settings are my favorite.

I had to use pliers to hold the middle ring still, while twisting the top pump. Mine were very hard to open.

It's not tricky at all once you get used to it. I have no problems either. I liked this mug so much I got one as a Christmas gift for my mom, but she hated the square shape. She admits that she's a klutz, so she was afraid she'd spill on herself. Luckily my sister, who's a way bigger Whovian than our mom anyway, was happy to take it off her hands! Neither of us find it hard to drink from at all. So I suppose it just depends on the person.

you just have to push on the flat metal piece. there should be a indentation were you would push it should open easy but if you are worried about pinching fingers use a butter knife. hope this helps

no but it open easier than some assisted opening knives I own such as my kershaw cryo. I find most knives that I own open much faster than assisted opening knves and its one less thing that can break.

It is not hard to open, I can open it with one hand while holding the baby. My 8 years old has no problems either. Hope this helps.
