Bialetti Moka Express 3 Cup Espresso Maker 06799
Feature: ... Makes three 2-ounce servings ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-04-02 Summary: Perfect espresso for one or two people. ... I love this espresso maker. I use it every single day. It makes a perfect double espresso, so it's great for having a fresh macchiato in the morning with my breakfast. It's cheap, simple, easy to clean, and the only way to break it is to put it on the stove with no water in it. Don't do that. Really. :) ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-04-25 Summary: Bye bye Starbucks. Hellooo amazing Vanilla Latte. ... I bought this espresso maker about a week ago at the suggestion of my cousin who lives in Italy. Also bought a milk frother from Ikea ($2.99), some Illy espresso (2 pack for $25) and vanilla-flavored syrup from Starbucks with pump ($7). I have been drinking the yummiest vanilla lattes every morning. Takes a couple of minutes to make and they are delicious. Why the heck was I spending so much money at Starbucks everyday for all those years?! (By the way, my Italian cousin says never to refrigerate the espresso coffee. ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | 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 coffeepot is considered a true Italian tradition. The Moka Espress boasts a lot of records and, as such, is the most copied coffee-maker! With sturdy aluminum construction, the Moka Express is a product that actually improves with...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-22 Summary: You Get more than you pay for ... The Mr. Coffee ECM21 is a great deal. We have had the unit over a month and use it daily and occassionally twice a day. Some have commented how cheaply made the unit is - if you want a $500 to $2000 Stainless Steel unit than don't buy this Coffeemaker combo. This unit fits nicely on our small counter, a major factor in the decision to buy the Mr. Coffee machine. Some have complained that the unit doesn't make hot espresso; I have found that by starting the steam with the frother and then switching to the espresso maker ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-31 Summary: I'm Happier Than I Thought I'd be With This Machine. : ) ... I was hesitant to buy this machine when I saw some unhappy or any partially happy review for this machine. I have good news. This machine works perfectly for a latte, espresso, cappuccino, fancy coffee drinker like me. If you like fancy coffee like Starbuck but don't want to pay the price of four to five dollars a cup and drink coffee drinks in the comfort of your home or make it to go in a coffee thermos, then this is the machine for you. Mr. Coffee is a well known company so it can be trusted. Here is information ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-01-06 Summary: Works well, good price ... I bought this as a gift for my husband, who works at StarBucks. He wanted an "all in one." It works very well; we've used it every day since Christmas. My husband had a Krupps espresso maker and he likes this one better.., the "frother" thing, (as you can see I'm not the espresso maker), is hotter and works longer than the move expensive Krupps version. I like the coffee maker because the water resovoir pops off, and back on, really easy.., and so you don't have to do the pouring-into-a-hole thing. Also, the basket ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-29 Summary: Very good machine ... Use it at least twice daily with both ESE pods and ground espresso. It really is a nice machine. If you are like some other reviewers and have problems with coffee grounds blowing out over the kitchen after you are done then you are likely tamping them too hard or using a grind that's too fine. Easiest way for a first time user is to buy some coffee in ESE (easy serve espresso) pods from the internet and feel it to see how hard the coffee is tamped in the pod. Cut it open and see how finely it is ground. Go to the ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-12 Summary: We're quite happy ... This is a great improvement over the little espresso maker that we bought for $40 a few years ago. We were looking to "step up" to one with better pressure, and this fit the bill nicely. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-24 Summary: Nice Machine ... Well designed unit. Very functional and easy to use. Makes an excellent Latte. Steamer works well, unit heats up quickly. Easy to disassemble and clean. Like how it has a vacume break when finished steaming. No mess or worry about pressure when grounds are removed. Water reservoir is hidden in back, flip top lid makes it easy to refill without removing. I like everything about this unit. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-12-21 Summary: Excellent buy, very pleased ... Many of the other reviews cover most of the points I would make, so I'll be brief. I have used the DeLonghi a little more than a month now, to give it time to reveal its strengths and weaknesses. Here are my thoughts: - Performs beautifully every time. If you buy GOOD coffee and keep it fresh, you can make a superb cup of Espresso or Cappuccino with very little effort. - I don't entirely agree with other comments about the design shortcomings; the built in tamper isn't "useless". Its not ideal, being built right into ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-06 Summary: Great machine! ... I read all of the reviews on this product before deciding to go ahead and give it a try. I have not regretted it at all!! It's wonderful! We live on a farm, so our water comes from an underground spring. We have a whole house filter, and I also filter the drinking water with a Brita. I use the Brita water for the machine, so it's double-filtered since I don't want it to clog with minerals. So far, I haven't had a single problem. I truly love this machine and am hoping that it will continue to be as wonderful for several ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-25 Summary: great coffee maker ... Great coffee maker. I also have an Espresso machine, but I changed it because there are too many plastic parts in the machine (plastic and hot water - I don't want the chemicals leaching into my coffee) I like to use the Bialetti everyday. It gives you great coffee. I use strong espresso coffee beans for a great flavor. And it made from stainless steel much better than the aluminum once. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-23 Summary: Saving $5 a day now... ... This little pot along with the Aerolatte Milk Frother makes great lattes and has been saving me $5 a day for the past couple weeks. I still plan to stop at my favorite coffee shop once a week or so to pick up some freshly roasted beans. In all honesty, the coffee shop espresso is a bit richer than I have made in this so far. However, it is very good and I plan to continue saving myself $5 a day ($1,825 a year!) Oh, if you don't like it, chances are good you may not be following the directions...Bialetti Class 4-Cup ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-27 Summary: Simple and Sweet ... No fuss, no muss, simple to use and clean up. I'm not an espresso connosieur but I do like a good cup now and then. I have an electric brand name espresso maker that's a major effort to use and clean up. It has been retired in favor of this little gem. I'm all about "simple". I'm also in favor of stainless steel versus aluminum. For that reason -alone- I chose this version over Bialetti's other models. The only issue I have with this little pot is that it's hard to tell when it is completely done brewing. It gurgles ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-26 Summary: You don't want to know me before my first coffee, but this pot does the trick! ... For several years I have been using stove top expresso makers to make my morning coffee. I have always used to cheap variety, and as a result have gone though quite a number of them. After the last one almost exploded on the stovetop, I decided to bite the bullet and pay for a more expensive one. I am so glad I did. Not only does this coffee maker make really good tasting coffee, it is also a very attractive piece of kitchenware in its own right. I am also glad that I went for the 6 cup over the smaller version. Now ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-01-14 Summary: Il Espresso Migliore ... I bought a high End Gaggio Espresso machine for my wife for a special occasion last year. While searching around for espresso beans I couldn't find any that reminded me of Italy. Finding the Lavazza Super Crema was the best. Especially in the 2.2lbs bag. So you know we go through a bag in 45 to 60 days. I've given up drinking regular coffee and now either go Espresso or Cafe American. I would recommend this Espresso to anyone who would enjoy a smooth, and aromatic blend and the Crema is the best. Buon bere. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-11 Summary: Great espresso starts with the beans ... No need for a detailed review, these beans make great espresso. I have a Gaggia Classic espresso maker and a Krups burr grinder to grind the beans, and this trio (Lavazza Super Crema Beans + machine + grinder) makes fantastic espresso every time. The crema is perfect, there is not the slightest hint of bitterness. My only warning about these beans is that if you own an espresso maker at home, you should be real careful buying these beans as you may find yourself going crazy making espressos. These beans consistently ...more
