Typhoon Metro Black 9-Cup Espresso Maker

This nine-cup, retro-look espresso maker from Typhoon takes coffee lovers by storm. The European-style pot, built of sturdy, heavy-gauge aluminum, sits right on a stovetop burner and steams up delectably strong, creamy, espresso-like coffee. To use, unscrew the two halves, add cold water to the bottom, fill the stainless-steel basket with fresh ground coffee, screw the top back on, and wait for the brew to fill the top half. A black, stay-cool handle and lid knob assist in pouring.

While the lower half of the hour-glass shape reveals the aluminum in a brightly polished finish, the top half is painted a choice of high-gloss colors in Typhoon's Metro palette: black, white, and fire-engine red. Matching Metro kitchen items create a unified, fashionable look. Once a color is picked, the size of the espresso maker is also a consideration: three-, six-, and nine-cup versions are available in each color. The nine-cup maker measures 9 by 4-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches, ideal for four to six people. Allow the pot to cool after use and then wash by hand. --Ann Bieri
