These Espresso Makers come straight from Italy and they are the only way they drink their coffee!

Have a look at the Bialetti 6800 Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker for just $21.99 from $29.99.  It gets 4.6 stars out of over 300 reviews.

These tips were given by another Amazon reader and many have found them helpful:

  1. In Italy this is NOT called an espresso machine, but a Moka machine. An espresso is what you would drink in bar made with a steam or high pressure machine with the crema on top.
  2. Smaller size Moka machine tend to make better coffee.
  3. Never wash the Moka with detergents, just rinse it under tap water
  4. You’ve gotta use it often for a good coffee.
  5. If you haven’t use it in a while, make a weak coffee (“lungo”) and discard
  6. DO NOT put the MOka in the dishwasher.
  7. Use drinking water. Avoid tap water especially if very chlorinated
  8. Never compress the coffee.
  9. For a strong coffee fill the filter with ground coffee and make a small cupola that slightly protrudes beyond the rim. Do not press down.
  10. For best coffee, heat at very low heat. It’s ok if it takes 10min.
  11. As soon as coffee reaches the top, remove from heat
  12. Do not let the coffee boil
  13. Use good quality coffee, not too strong, medium grind (try Illy for a good commercial brand)

Grab illy Caffe Whole Bean Coffee (Medium Roast), 8.8-Ounce Tins (Pack of 2) for $27.51 or $13.75 each.  Check my Pinterest under Home Simplicity for this How To poster on making Moka with your Bialetti!
