Amazon.com: Kitchen & Housewares: BIALETTI Moka Express 3 Cup Espresso Maker 06799
„With all the expensive espresso makers sold around the world, native Italians prefer espresso from stovetop espresso makers and more Italians use Bialetti for their stovetop Italian coffee. For an excellent cup of Italian coffee, the classic eight-side household coffee-pot is considered a true italian tradition. The Moka Espress boasts a lot of records and, as such, is the most copied coffee-maker!“

„The amount of coffee per cup averages between 20 and 35 milliliters (from one to one and a half fluid ounces or about one eighth of a cup). It is important to make sure that the espresso brewer reaches the indicated temperature and pressure levels, and that the parts through which the brewed coffee flows to the cup are good and hot as well. It takes time to learn how to make great coffee with your espressomachine, but the effort is well worth it. Practice makes perfection.“

„Always make an espresso shot, whether or not it is enveloped by milk, between one and one-and-a-quarter ounces. And unless the espresso is a double or ristretto, use a shot glass to measure properly until you know the correct shot size by sight. Remember: Less is more—taste, that is.“
