This is a little harder than it should be
I expected an old-school coffeemaker, which would be easy to operate. It was, except that the very basic instructions were focused on how to put the thing together and where to put the coffee, which I'm sure I could have figured out on my own. There was no mention of how much coffee to use, how much water, how much heat, how long to cook. So the first few pots I made tasted terrible. I finally had to write to the manufacturer.
More importantly, this pot makes a brew that's somewhat different than I'm used to. I was expecting the caramel brown, slightly frothy espresso, but instead, we're getting what looks a lot like black coffee. It tastes good, but not great. But maybe I'm still using it wrong...
Hot Espresso
The espresso is strong and hot. Excellent pot, very much like my Grandmothers espresso pot from Italy
Simple. Consistent. Tasty. Bialetti.
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.
