I noticed all other expresso pots mention pressure vents. Does this model have one?

I love my Altho; yes it does have a pressure vent, all italian expresso makers have them, it is a safety valve in case that you forget to add water or leave it on the stove for a long time, the valve, will explode, but the entire pot will not. When they explode they go fast and will break a base or leave you a bruise, but nothing else.

Not really, its a pass through regulator, one side gets unregulated air and the other is regulated. It has 1 inlet and 2 outlets. It could be used on a pressure pot but the problem with this particular one is the hole diameter for the regulated side is smaller than the unregulated.

No, this model does not hold pressure. Good unit though. I have the same model that does, but its a fair amount more expensive.

It does come with a pressure gauge, My understanding is this model does replace most models. Too be sure contact Hayward or try inyour pool.com they help me a lot.

I don't know. I have not read any info that says there is one. Prob you just have to use your own judgement and see how it goes. Still really glad I have this pot!

No it does not have a vent at the top. I returned mine and had to pay $100 to ship UPS. I went to Sam's Club and got a nicer one with sides and its heavy duty for $199. Do not get this item, especially not from this seller.

I bought the metal lid, which does not have vent holes. These lids don't seal so tightly they're going to explode, so don't need holes (it is my belief). If you haven't ordered yet, get the non-stick option - I have spent way too much time scouring mine. Otherwise, I love it.

No there are not. I filled it using a measuring cup at first now I guess. LOVE LOVE LOVE this pot. Best ever press pot. Keep things hot!

Yes Mike, it has the hole for the vent tube. It is covered by a rubber gramet . I hope this helped :)

no it does not. However, great features-stainless pot, can fill to the top to get more than 5 cups, can use paper filter, can use under cabinets cause no steam output, looks great-

The pressure is actually regulated by a weight that sits on top of the vent pipe. The canner comes with a weight for 15 PSI, but Presto has weights for 5 & 10 PSI. You may also manually regulate the pressure by monitoring the gauge and controlling the heat under the pot.

No it does not. This is a pressure type, the one your talking about is a vacuum type. Hope this helps.

these Zori's has a steam vent and a inner lid that secures to the top outer lid. moisture is trapped in between those two and the excess water/moisture is channeled into a well built around the pot itself. everything is self-contained within the unit so there is no outer components to attach. one thing to note, if there is a lot of water/moisture after cooking you are using too much water to begin with. I seldom have any issues with excess moisture because the unit does a great job venting it away. hope this helps.

It has a metal Rim that seats directly on the ceramic pot. No rubber or vinyl. It also has a small air release vent. I suspect they are interested in not having it pressurize and blow up while you are not watching. There is no rubber or vinyl that I can see on the underside of the glass lid. Just a metal screw and washer (metal also) and the rim. Not sure why you are asking, but I think this should give the info you need.
