Summary: Stove tops for perfect expressos 2007-06-19
Comment: For years my family has used this type of coffee maker. This one the Bialetti is very nice one and yes Bialetti's can be very pricy. Here in Miami, FL you can find the same TYPE of espresso makers for close to $10 in most Cuban grocery stores, since most of us enjoy our espressos in the same fashion which Italians enjoy theirs. I personally also own an electric espresso machine (American made) but most of these, with the exception of the very expensive ones have the same problem their heat elements wear out. You won't find this problem with the stove tops they make great espresso coffee. For you espresso maker nubies you can not use regular coffee for these makers, you have to buy fine ground coffee beans. Yes you can find some in our local Publix Supermarkets or order online. Localy (in MIami) you can find brands like, Pilon, Bustelo, and my favorite Illy (Italian and not cheap).
So if you enjoy your coffee black and strong just add sugar to your liking and enjoy a nice hot espresso.

Summary: disappointing, particularly for the price... 2007-03-09
Comment: I decided to pay for the more expensive unit of all availiable, in hopes that it would be a better quality. I use filtered water, and after just a few weeks of use, have noticed the aluminum pitting in the lower half or base of unit. In addition to the pitting, when I use a towel to wipe it dry, a grey gel substance comes off on my towel. I'm actually planning on returning the unit. So disappointing.

Summary: Simple. Consistent. Tasty. Bialetti. 2006-08-23
Comment: My wife and I have been spending a pretty penny at the local coffee shop, so I began looking for inexpensive home alternatives. Most of the coffee snobs claim you have to purchase a $200+ machine and $150+ grinder to have a decent cup of espresso. I turned instead to the frugal Italians. They did invent the stuff, afterall. My Bialetti Moka Express coffee pot came this afternoon. I was a little concerned that a $20 pot might not meet the high standards of the gourmet beverages wifey and I have become accustomed to. I was wrong. The brew made by this ingenious little pot is a little weaker than "pumped" espresso and lacks the foamy cap (crema) that all the snobs rave about, but mixed with some hot, frothed milk and a bit of chocolate syrup I couldn't tell the difference between Bialetti and Seattle's Best.
This rich brew comes from a tiny little aluminum contraption with no moving parts, no electronic gizmos, no pump handle and virtually no wait time or clean-up. You just fill, brew and pour. It's that simple. Its base only covers half of the stovetop's smallest eye and I expect it will be easy to store due to its diminuitive size. I've already had three cups of homemade mocha today, and I've only had the pot since noon! *jitter jitter* The point is this: If you're a coffee lover who is bored with Folgers from a Mr. Coffee drip machine or is spending way too much at Starbucks, the Moka pot is an inexpensive and easy-to-use alternative with excellent results.
