Our Customer reviews
Inexpensive but not cheap
This great little espresso maker does the trick. I love making my own mochas at home using this single shot of espresso maker, and it's great if you've limited space because we have no counter or storage space for a bigger coffeemaker.

Just a tip: if you get beans ground for espresso, it'll still sort of work, but not as well. Apparently they need to be slightly more coarsely ground than the espresso grind. Just a handy little tip that I learned a bit too late for my first time! lol.

Delighted
I bought it for my hubby as a father's day gift and it's so great. Our last elec expresso machine died after a year of no use so we went for the low tech but stylish version this time!!. We have a glass top stove, set it on the small ring on high and it works perfectly. I know you should use low heat on gas stoves but as glass top stoves are so much less hot and responsive, I find high works fine and heats at about the same rate as low to medium on gas. Easy to use, easy to clean, and FAB coffee.

Bialetti espresso coffee pot
The Bialetti Moka Stovetop Expresso Maker is the best one can buy. Unlike the many copies which made in China, this little gem to make the best coffee. The pour spout is just the right shape so that it doesn't spill all over the counter while pouring into a cup. The weight of the metal allows the perfect brew. Unfortunately, that I have heard that the company, Bialetti, has recently closed its' doors, due mostly to the competition from the cheaper brands out on the market and also due to the ignorance of the general public in seeking out the cheap stuff.
