Bialetti Moka Express 6 Cup Stove Top Espresso Coffee Maker




Note that a "cup" in this case is about 2 grams of coffee. The Bialetti Moka Express 6 Cup Coffee Maker. Moka Express is the world's best known and loved coffee. More than 120 million cups of this delicious, aromatic coffee made internationally every day. The original Moka Express by Bialetti - a must if you love coffee, aromatic and tastefully done. High quality aluminum, very elegant and gift boxed. With the real thing. . . The end result is "Espresso for excellence!"

"Original" stove, coffee maker and number one coffee in the world, aluminum body form classical Makes 6 cups of espresso made in Italy

My wife and I are spending a penny better at the local coffee shop, so I started looking for alternative home and inexpensive. Most of the coffee snobs claim is a machine from $ 200 + and $ 150 + to buy a good cup of espresso coffee grinders have. I turned instead Italians sober. They invented the stuff, Afterall. My Bialetti Moka Express coffee pot came this afternoon. I was a bit 'worried that a flat $ 20 might not be the highest standards of gourmet beverages wifey and I am accustomed to answer. I was wrong. The drink made from this pot is an ingenious bit 'weaker "pumped" espresso and lacks the foamy cap (Cream) that all the snobs rave about, but mixed with some hot, frothed milk and a little' chocolate syrup could not to understand the difference between Bialetti and Seattle's Best. This rich beverage is from a very small aluminum contraption with no moving parts, no electronic gadgets, n. pump handle and virtually no wait time or clean-up. Is filled, beer and pour. It's that simple. The base covers only half of the 'smaller eye of the stove and I expect it will be easy to save because of its small size. I have three cups of coffee at home today, and I only had the pot since noon! * Jitter jitter * The point is this: if you love coffee, which is bored with Folgers from a Mr. drip coffee machine or spend too much Starbucks, the Moka pot is an inexpensive and easy to use alternative with excellent results.

For years my family has used this type of coffee maker. Bialetti Bialetti This is one of a very pretty and it can be very pricy. Here in Miami, FL is the same producer of espresso for about $ 10 can be found in most Cuban food, as most of us like our espresso in the same way that Italians enjoy them. Personally, I also own an electric car espresso (American made), but most of them, unless the problem very expensive to wear their own heating elements. You will not find this problem with the stove tops that make great espresso. For the coffee maker nubies you can not use regular coffee makers, you should buy finely ground coffee beans. Yes, you can find in our local Publix Super Markets or order online. From this position (in Miami), if you can find the brands, Pilon, Bustelo, and my favorite Illy (Italian and non-economic). So, if you like strong black coffee and just add sugar to your needs and enjoy a nice hot espresso.

I have several of the type of pump, plug-in espresso machines in the last 20 years, including two $ 400 + half dozen Gaggias and Krups. The last time my Gaggia Millennium fell for repairs, a neighbor lent me his Bialetti Moka 6-cup. That was two years ago and are still in use. On the positive side: the Moka has no moving parts to break, burning or thermal switches wear or inaccessible corner to maintain movement of mineral deposits. Moka has a beer of the same flight back as of espresso, without the nervousness top-end and stomach problems that I associate "coffee". Disadvantage: it is a few minutes on the hob in the insertion of fine gravel and water in Espresso and pour the finished product. If I wander off and forget to come back to the kitchen, at the time, the rubber gasket should be replaced, or steam Moka spit hand the next time I use it. In two years, this is only costing me about $ 6 in total, as multi-packs are available in packs. (I have also discovered that I can reuse the gaskets for washing, let them rest in a drawer for a month or two and then flip them to the side without the groove in the rubber melted.) If the ritual worship of grinding, compacting and pulling espresso , aims to be able to apply the varieties in a mixture of taste only in name and Espresso Crema call should have to buy a Gaggia. For those of us who can not start our day without the express (no coffee), Freak Out, as breaks in the espresso machine and are tired of slavery to a diagram decalcification, this is a great little coffee maker!

Bialetti Venus, 6 Cup




Easy to Use Fits right on the stovetop Produces great tasting espresso Ready in 4-5 minutes Stainless Steel Construction

Stainless steel, stovetop espresso machine produces 6 cups of rich, authentic Italian espresso in just 4-5 minutes.

Using med.-low heat for gas and you are ready in 11 minutes. Ensure that the stainless steel filter is always facing in the right direction or coffee maker will be unveiled. Be aware they have espresso cups (2.5 ounces demitasse Cup) and not the great wild coffee addicts we Americans are accustomed to using. Even the most civilized people to add milk at a ratio of 1:1, so if five espresso demitasse cups (12.5 ounces), the coffee would produce about 6 ounces also expressed.

We have this for our mother for Christmas. E 'was difficult to find a manufacturer of stainless steel espresso shops, were all aluminum. The design, functionality and looks are what we hoped to find. The price was fantastic and our mother is very happy. She often uses with his friends, so the capacity of 6 Cup is exactly what he wanted. We want so much we want one too. Excellent product, great price!

I realize that the purchase is exactly what it claims to be, and this is what the Bialetti Venus. I understand that some connoisseurs hate the coffee produced in stainless steel, but the coffee that comes from comparison with that of an aluminum Bialetti, I think Venus produced a cup of tea, less impetuous. It seems solid and does not provide replacement for a very long time. It also brews great and fast. The best tool I had to make coffee.

Huge time and money! I add the water and coffee the night before (takes about 30 seconds). In the morning I add the milk, turn on the machine, and for now I'm ready to jump in the shower for my perfect, warm cappuccino is ready. I watched the video with the car - I have understood correctly the first time. Initially I had problems with the machine apart to clean it.

Bialetti Cappuccino and Latte Set




I love buying Starbucks lattes, but I do not like to spend $ 5 for a cup of coffee, so I decided to buy an espresso machine. However, all "real" espresso machine, even a steam-driven pump, they are super expensive. Those who had had at reasonable prices or poor or inconsistent reviews. With one exception: the Bialetti Moka Express had good reviews and was a really good price. So, after much research, I chose the Bialetti cappuccino and latte. I made my milk before today, and here is what I have to say:

1. It 'easy to use. Follow the instructions on the jar of coffee to find out how to use. In order to make a drink for me, I used a tablespoon of espresso Illy and 5 ml of water. Put water into the ground coffee (not pressed) in the filter section, screwed up and put on fire (medium heat). Wait until it stops bubbling, and the coffee is ready.

2. The nozzle of milk is great. Start It Up warm up before you start to make coffee because it takes a little 'hot milk. Once done, take it from the burner, place the lid, and pump a couple of times. The milk was thick and frothy.

3. I paid the "espresso" in the Cup, added the milk, and voila! Sure, it is not "real" because there is no cream espresso, but for me it tastes just as good as Starbucks and was a fraction of the cost of an espresso machine. I'm sure I'll be saving money in no time. I plan to buy the vanilla syrup and enjoy the many Lattes, steamships and capuccinos.

4. Cleaning, wait until the pot cools, rinse with water and dry everything by hand. I recommend this set for those who want to make Lattes at home. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I just love this little thing. Lattes do most mornings now. The percolating pot (about 10 minutes or so), and clean the kitchen a bit '. Then, if it did, I heat a cup of milk in the microwave with the amount of sugar I want. Finally, add the espresso, and it is fabulous! the only thing is that almost never use the milk frother. If your lover milk, the main nozzle. Lattes, but there is only a little 'foam and is not so important. Yes, my life, I just microwave and are made easier and prevent the hand washing nozzle. So if you do not care too much foam, I would only recommend the coffee and save money. Welcome to milk-ing!

I'm always skeptical about reading reviews of those who have been using the product and write a review, so I waited a few months for my review. I have my cappuccino a day with this kit and I must say I'm the best I've ever done. I intentionally bought this series because the milk producer (nozzle) included. I have used many other coffee / cappuccino maker and tired of the nozzle is an emotional time bomb ... usually did not go away. This foaming hand works perfectly and you can change the amount of foam. I also used to make cream homemade hot chocolate for my daughters! Since I am very particular of my cappuccino, I heat the milk first (I use vanilla soy milk for extra flavor and protein soy:). The Pour the milk into a glass mug and a microwave oven before pouring in the nozzle. Of course you need an extra 90 seconds for heat and an extra glass wash ... but like I said ... perfect foam! Worth extra 90 seconds.

As the creator of cappuccino. You must follow the instructions percisely, in particular the part of cleaning. I read a reveiw that their coffee on the stove exploded. I think this is because they do not transform the small piston / screw on the side of the machine to clean every time. Every time you need to verify that no mineral deposits that can jam. E 'indispensable ... if it is clean and is jammed in the minerals, you could "coffee" explode. What this does is that it gives the pressure of the piston of the producer where the pressure is too high. Might not be necessary, but if you do, it is a matter of simple launch or explode. Depending on the type of water you have where you live (hard or soft) is the number you see mineral deposits in your coffee. It 'been about 3 months since I bought this and I used every day. I'm planning to buy a larger size, but are still very happy I bought this size before ... The milk foam is worth it. My friends are surprised when I arrived and a perfect cup of cappuccino!

I tried the Bialetti Mukka Express before returning to this, because I felt the heating and frothing milk in the same unit / step how to make espresso, how, but I was really impressed with how it worked in practice, so I went for this less expensive and less tech-set-up. I'm so glad I did, because it is simple, seamless, and is a perfect cappuccino or milk each time. As someone who has never used a stove-top for the coffee maker, I found this easy to use right out of the box. The milk froth nozzle makes better than I expected (even soy milk!), And rehabilitation for both components is a breeze. I recommend this set to anyone. Five big stars!

Bialetti Easy Cafe 6 Cup Espresso Maker




If your espresso or Lattes, and you are looking for convenience and portability is your response here. Just unscrew the top of the soil. Fill the bottom to the waterline. Place the metal filter into the soil and fill with your favorite ground coffee. Now, screw the top half of the pot back - Place the pot on the stove and wait 5-6 minutes to pour a cup of coffee. The Lowfat milk warm in the microwave, while I wait. Beeps when the coffee is ready, and just pour. Sweet taste. A pot is a twenty-sized milk or espresso six large servings. Barristas Unite!

This is my first model of Bialetti Moka pot electric, that no individual basis. E 'was used every day no problem, then just stopped working. It is still under warranty, so the company replaced it with this model, when it becomes available, it was distributed in Italy for the United States. Their customer service staff has been great to work with. The difference in the new model of electric moka is that the base that houses the electrical switch, now divorced. I use this model almost daily for years now without any problem. Stovetop models make coffee a better type of 'Espresso', producing some cream on top. I still have my stovetop espresso pots at home because I have free time to watch and listen for BREW are ready.

The pot held power in the workplace, where I can enjoy good coffee beer right in my office, instead of the tasteless coffee produced in the break room. Not having to worry about burning the coffee, I like to go out, while beer is a great advantage. The light turns green and he plays the pot for about 1 minute clear when beer is complete, then turn off. It brews coffee faster than my home stovetop moka pots. Probably to keep the coffee hot for about 20 minutes, but I expressed my right, so I never tried this feature! E 'beers than 10 ounces of strong espresso type (with a small amount of cream), which would add 6 ounces milk heated in a microwave. Illy is the brand of coffee I use, I have just returned with a new product, particularly for espresso coffee, grind a bit 'crude. I have no complaints about products Bialetti's! This beautiful electric moka pot me the money I used to go every day from Starbucks. Are less rushed and frazzled in the morning, because there is no need to wait in long lines to SB, and I work thirty minutes before. Many people in my building purchased this model after having tasted the coffee, and I've heard nothing but rave reviews from them.

I am an Italian-American. My grandparents were born in Italy, my mother and expressed in a large stainless steel pot that I inherited when I venture. I like the fancy espresso and cappuccino makers a bit 'ridiculous. I tried a number of smaller vessels delivered, and I'm disappointed at all. If they were difficult to disassemble and clean, if the coffee is bitter, or the producer had tried a stove-top espresso pot combine with a latte / cappuccino maker and not: after sending a lot of steam, the pot produced muddy coffee undrinkable. These vessels do. I bought the electric version, because the burners on my stove too large for a smaller pot. (Caution - if you have a small vase balancing on a large burner, the handle will weaken and break down - this happened to me and that was not enough.) The coffee is delicious and the dish is easy to clean -- just dump the grinds and reels. In fact, this dish is just like my mother, and electrically. Although advertised for six cups, is great for preparing one, the big head, which I prefer, after dinner. In fact, if it was not very old espresso pot my mother, I'd certainly buy an even bigger version of the company.

A tip: Wash and clean the grinder plate immediately, so your pot does not deteriorate and become the coffee bitter. Vinegar wash a pot in which the final deteriorated, the only way to avoid such damage is to clean the pot immediately after each use.

This is my first model of Bialetti Moka pot electric, that no individual basis. E 'was used every day no problem, then just stopped working.

Bialetti Brikka 4-Cup Stovetop Percolator




The Brikko Bialetti makes the best espresso Italian style, I'm out of Italy - the flavor and texture brings you back to square bar. Add some 'hot milk and foam of a cappuccino perfect (I bought the nozzle Nissan / milk Frabosk too). I found the instructions so simple - with a little room for 'flexibility with the amount of water, coffee, etc. for your individual taste. Making espresso is beautiful - I like to wait for the "whooosh" he told me that the delicious cream is almost ready to pour into my cup. Cleaning is easy, and the coffee tastes better each time I use the Brikko. One of my best purchases for the kitchen.

I actually bought this for my wife for her birthday - but I think I like most about her. I know that is not doing "real" espresso, but it is mighty close to my point of view (I'm not really a connoisseur, but I like a good cup). In fact, this is better than most other espressos I've had! I like the coffee this thing produces! The first night I ended up drinking 6 shots of "Espresso" Baba Budan made with fresh beans and I wanted more! I could not because it was already 1:00 am and woke me up to drink coffee so much. Here are some tips for you ... Make sure you have a grinder Burr. Want a beautiful grind (but not too fine) to get the most out of your coffee to get. Burr grinders can be very good, but the investment is worth. Have a Burr grinder for every espresso machine anyways.

Make sure you have cups in the neighborhood. This thing suddenly shoot out coffee and if your not fast enough could be a cup of coffee on the stove ... when you hear the bells and whistles to get your cup ready! (you know what I mean, after a few laps ...), you about. Chances are your first course not be perfect (unless you've done something like this before ... I did not). The good news is that after the first time understand how the process works and everything will be fine after that! Clean just can! Be the heat a bit ', but try as soon as possible to clean the cleaning easier. Worth ... trust me.

Follow the instructions exactly. It is not difficult to do by any means, but make sure you follow the instructions. If you accidentally do something wrong, but also in packs of coffee, then regret it. The instructions are very simple but very useful. I noticed one critic said that this coffee has a burnt taste. If your coffee is ground too fine then encrusted holder for coffee and it takes longer for the coffee to make it well in the main room (I apologize for the lack of correct terminology). This causes a smell of burning, because only a little 'coffee comes out at a time be a bit' to get burned before the next splash through. If something more rough times will not happen and the coffee will be of great taste. I think that people who quote the burnt flavor grind coffee beans are a bit 'too good. You want the coffee to be crushed, but not like flour ... more like sugar end. Have fun! This simple little gadget makes a great cup. Enjoy!

I had a Brikko for about three weeks and I think the greatest! It 'easy to use, clean and the coffee comes out with the foam and is very hot every time I had no problem with that of all. Some tips: To unscrew for cleaning, simply use cold water for one minute, then pull the drawer in the room until early release pressure. Then it will be easy to unscrew. Also, you hear a distinct sound when the coffee is almost complete. You can look at the top of the coffee and see the cream. At this stage, do not wait too long before removing from the oven and serve the cream disappears when cooked too long. Enjoy!

Daigo and I agree with others that Brikko (I've only model 2 cup) coffee is a very pleasant, although not technically expressed, is very, very beautiful. And the model produces 2 cup cream. Regarding the results of David, is disconcerting. If the coffee is hot in the upper room, do not exert enough pressure. I would assume that the seal between the chambers is not complete. Check if there are reasons to break the seal before you screw together. If not block a perfect end, I would suspect a defect. Although the model 2 cup is greater than 4-Cup, I can not imagine an operation at 4 cup to get the results it produces.

Bialetti Stovetop Espresso Percolators




I am thrilled beyond words! I so love this game! It is beautiful and so be able to produce great coffee. I was able to success far surpassed coffee that I spent $ 4-5 to make. This pot is just so cool! First are cute, actually a very nice piece. The heavy stainless steel, has a feeling of great in your hands. Very well done, with the Bialetti logo engraved on the skin side. Secondly, its very easy to use. Thirdly, it makes a great cup of strong, delicious coffee! Fourth, very easy to clean. Here's what I do best and milk coffee: Follow the instructions to fill your earthen vessel with water, fill the filter with ground coffee, Dunkin Donuts coffee (yes, all coffee snobs, coffee worked fabulously DD !) level with your finger, but NOT tamp. Dust off the edge of the tank, screw on top of the jar. Place on medium / high, not high heat and be careful to identify, so as not to burn the handle. Stay close, cuz in about 5min it will be done. Meanwhile, place the milk in micro 1C for 1.5min, then place in hand Nissan stainless steel pump Cappuccino. Pump until the milk foam is sufficient. Add 2Tbl cups of chocolate syrup (I used Hersheys Dark, big results) If the coffee is ready, pour in 2 cups, then top off with about 1 / 3 foamed milk into each cup. What a simple pleasure. To clean, simply wash with hot water and dry. I love this pot!

I must say that this dish makes the best espresso. Use a Dark Roast beans and follow the instructions. I have a few machines, with and without pumps and use the old fasion way, is by far the best. On my electric range between medium and high average takes about 20 minutes for BREW, worth the wait! Then relax and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee. Nice to have a taste of biscuits by hand or if the vote is a preview of your favorite liqueur. Cleans easily enough.

I tried the aluminum Bialetti Espresso Maker, and although it works well, is higher. It is worthwhile splurge - it's very well built, and the taste of pure espresso, and the redesign of the elegant coffee maker draws many compliments.

This is a nice little espresso machine that makes great coffee. It's just that simple. Everything works well, is well built, easy to clean, and comes with a manual badly translated really funny (do not worry, the instructions are clear yet, so funny).

Bought this to replace my aluminum pot at least 10 years Bialetti, and I'm not disappointed. Makes the best ever and is easy to clean. I bought this with the Milk Aero "go" milk frother, and are making great cappuccino with skim milk. It is also very beautiful to see, I love pot.

If I knew it was esperesso home make this simple I would have bought a similar machine years ago! It's so easy to express large kitchen with this machine. The quality seems excellent and the manufacturing process and the cleaning of the machine is always very easy. The cups that "6 cup" refers to coffee cups are not full shots or 8 ounces So, if you drink several cups of espresso or just want to make this strong coffee (or teecino, an alternative coffee I use often) want to know the actual amount of what is produced. But if you only want a few shots of espresso, this is perfect. I think I drink espresso XL or two smaller ones with the coffee maker can do. I love the stylish look is also sitting on my stove.

Bialetti Musa 4-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker




I have a 6-cup Moka Pot "for a few years and recently bought the 4 cup stovetop Bialetti Musa perconlator for $ 39 on Amazon. Moka Pot: Your standard Italian coffee stove that will last forever, even with the cheap. About $ 6 from secondhand shop, and very easy to find. Unfortunately they are a little 'more work - the aluminum construction results in a metallic taste, if not properly cleaned. The "right" way to clean is just hot water and let the film fat into the pot (aluminum coat and provide a barrier to use). Sun offers the highest returns, as * not * clean. :)

Bialetti: stainless steel - easy to clean, it foam, no metallic taste. More difficult to find (Amazon health control food shops). My arrived yesterday through Amazon.com, no metal shavings or fat (as a reviewer previous experience). As other reviewers have noted, the 4 "version Cup has 6.8 ounces of espresso, so that as Starbucks 'Venti' wonder that you are trying to avoid.

Here's a simple recipe that kicks out the door in the morning, 6-8 oz expressed by the hob (1 Moka Pot) 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, 6.8 oz half-n-half throw it in the microwave for 30s, Some Like It Hot. Enjoy!

I got as a wedding Musa 4 years ago and have used it since almost every morning. He rose perfect for regular use, I only had to replace the rubber seal / gasket once so far and there is a small 1 / 2 "crack on the top of the handle. I even need to travel with because it is so small I rinse after every use and clean with a paper towel and a mild soap and water dish once a month or so, if you end up with hard water can build a little 'less of calcium in their tank a bit 'diluted CLR left to sit for an hour or so will clear up (rinse well!). Highly Recommended.

This is a great game and, oh, so elegant. People find it hard to believe that a moka pot! And 'perfect for a super-strength milk or 2 slightly weaker. I love this pot.

I love this little thing. The part of my Capresso expresso wore off and I lost my Expresso. This works great. I can still froth milk with espresso and do my Capresso this. If I will be another increase in size, but this is perfect for a latte grande! Stainless steel is easy to clean and looks good in the kitchen.

4 European Cups (two ounces to taxes) is only 8 grams of espresso. This is only good for two Lattes high. This is soooo good. I love mine.

Bialetti Mukka Express Cappuccino Maker





I was very excited about this new product and I tried the right way. The first time I used it, I have the flame too high and I just do not get milk all over the world (I should know about the hot milk and cream to make sauce bechemel or yogurt, milk goes everywhere overheated) but l ' water leaking too. I can not say how many times I used in that (sometimes two or three meals a day) and I have not had a problem with it all. My guests also fun. If the flame is medium, you're not losing. When I hear the milk or cream foam, I take off the stove and put it on the counter (in case, but has not been invaded for the first time I used it).

And 'fast and is super easy to clean. This product is small saving me lots of money, because I no longer want to buy cappuccino from Starbucks. My only complaint about this product is that in two cup capacity. That would be a two-espresso-cup capacity. So if you buy the product, I do not think that will make 16 ounces, keeping the flame low-medium. And take it from the heat when the milk begins to foam:)

I bought this gem, so I could enjoy a cappuccino after dinner, fast, and I am 100% satisfied. It seems some (many), people here have had problems using it, and 99.9% of the time, those errors are user errors. That said, here's how I always get great cappuccinos with my Mukka Express ...

1. Use the correct grind. Most Popular Store Espresso grinder, like the Mukka explicitly states to use espresso ground. If you think of coffee sediment in the water tank after beer, you also grinding.

2. I use a stove glass, and measurement of water is 6 grams. Make sure you do it right!

3. Use medium-high heat. My stove to 7.5, and my cappuccino is ready in about 5 minutes.

4. Do not let anyone - and I mean any - remain on board coffee grounds basket or the stove. The few times I had problems sealing grinds were the problem. If you do not have a steady hand, fill the coffee basket separately, then put the heat on the tank.

5. I recommend using less milk than the directions indicate - especially if you get used to using the Mukka. Since I also like a stronger cup, I fill the milk to around 1/4-inch below the recommended threshold. This experiment, from much less, so as to avoid the foam of potential acquisitions. The temperature will eventually use the impact of the volume of foam, so play it safe to start and use less milk.

6. Check the pressure valve is closed! The only way to stem the fire and leave the Mukka pressure if it is broken or not securely in place.

7. If you do not get much foam, your oven temperature is too low. If the foam out and was not filled with milk, your oven temperature is too high. So, if you follow this procedure, you should no problem to receive a large cappuccino. After a few attempts to find the right settings for your stove. ENJOY!

Every family in Italy owns one of these machines. Here are some tips: 1. In Italy this is called an espresso machine, but a machine Moka. An espresso is what you drink at the bar made with a steam or high pressure with the cream on top. 2. Moka on a smaller car for better coffee. 3. Not the Moka with detergents, just rinse under tap water 4. They often use a good coffee. 5. Unless you once, use a weak coffee ( "long") and delete 6. September Moka in the dishwasher.7. Use drinking water. Avoid heavily chlorinated tap water above 8. Do not compress the coffee. 9. For a strong coffee fill the filter with ground coffee and a small dome that protrudes slightly above the rim. Do not press down. 10. For the best coffee, heat at very low heat. And as good as it takes 10min. 11. If the coffee has reached the top, remove from heat 12. Boil the coffee13. The use of good quality coffee, not too strong, medium grind (try Illy for a good commercial brand) 14. SIP while still hot, enjoy!

About 12 years ago I was in Milan, and a friend gave me one of those at home. I used almost every day since (I do not take the city), so that should give you an idea of how is solid. It is the best coffee I've ever had. To compare, I have an espresso machine with high-tech foam, a state-of-the-art automatic drip coffee, a French press, and a different style as a producer of cooking space, which surprisingly enough, makes a different beer .But I always go back to my Bialetti Moka 6-cup for the best espresso and milk. Still obtain a cream with this simple dish. For Lattes, I just fill half a cup of coffee with milk, heat in microwave until warm, then top it off with an espresso. And 'low maintenance - every once in a while I have the rubber gasket inside, which cost a dollar or replaced, depending on where you buy it.If you enjoy coffee like the Italians and Cubans, then you like beer this is. I am loyal to this dish simple and short, and we hope you enjoy as much as me.

Great work on the stove, works great if CAMPING ..!!! No plugs, no wires, no-nonsense - fill the bottom half with water to the mark indicated that the soil in the top basket, close the two halves, wait for it to gurgle and delicious espresso EXCEPT the way it should be done. The device is simple and well done. I would recommend to six versions Cup, the smaller versions expressed simply too much - I mean, given the six-cup version if two of you, so this will be the appropriate amount. Really a brilliant product. I want everything so well designed and robust. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

My wife and I are spending a penny better at the local coffee shop, so I started looking for alternative home and inexpensive. Most of the coffee snobs claim is a machine from $ 200 + and $ 150 + to buy a good cup of espresso coffee grinders have. I turned instead Italians sober. They invented the stuff, Afterall. My Bialetti Moka Express coffee pot came this afternoon. I was a bit 'worried that a flat $ 20 might not be the highest standards of gourmet beverages wifey and I am accustomed to answer. I was wrong. The drink made from this pot is an ingenious bit 'weaker "pumped" espresso and lacks the foamy cap (Cream) that all the snobs rave about, but mixed with some hot, frothed milk and a little' chocolate syrup could not between Bialetti and Seattle's Best.

This rich beverage is from a very small aluminum contraption with no moving parts, no electronic gadgets, n. pump handle and virtually no wait time or clean-up. Is filled, beer and pour. It's that simple. The base covers only half of the 'smaller eye of the stove and I expect it will be easy to save because of its small size. I have three cups of coffee at home today, and I only had the pot since noon! * Jitter jitter * The point is this: if you love coffee, which is bored with Folgers from a Mr. drip coffee machine or spend too much Starbucks, the Moka pot is an inexpensive and easy to use alternative with excellent results.
