Pinching occurs even with 4 quads pole

Hello everyone, I’m modeling a moka pot to demonstrate my understanding of topology on my portfolio, as one of the recruiters I talked to suggested.  

However, I have this problem where pinching and shading issues occur whenever I turn on sub-division. Also, t’s hard to get sharp edges near where four surfaces meet.  My best attempt is to reduce the connected edges down to 5 (on the right).  It eliminates the artifact, but pinching is still noticeable.  

Any help will be appreciated.
