It took me a while to learn all the tricks of the trade, so I thought I'd piece it together here. 1. Rinse out the pot, preferably with warm water and not with any abrasive cloth. 2. Fill the bottom of the pot with water to the line. If you go over it, the pot might explode. Seriously. 3. Fill the middle filter with ground espresso roast (dark) beans. Grind them a little bit finer then auto drip grind, to about the grain of fine sand. Level off the filter, and put it in the pot. 4. Screw on the top hard. Don't use the handle to screw it, because it could snap off. 5. My stove goes LO, 1, 2, ... 8, 9, HI; I usually set it between 3 and 5. It takes 5-ish minutes to finish. Take it off the stove when you hear it gurgling and sputtering. Things I've learned: *If it's going to be mainly you drinking the espresso, consider a 3-cup. I usually make a double...

Don't buy it, By This review is from: Bialetti 6799 Moka Express 3-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker (Kitchen) Unless you are ready to be ruined for any other coffee, and the three cup size will not be big enough! Decades of my life wasted. I've discovered real coffee so late in life, my only lament about buying this espresso pot is the tears shed over all those mornings I *could* have had REAL coffee... Easy to use, a little time consuming to clean, handsome enough to leave out as a decoration. Unscrew the bottom, fill the bottom half with cold water, fill the little filter cup with fine ground coffee (note that "espresso" is a grind, not a roast), screw it back together, and put it on the stove top. In five minutes or less, you have the most incredible coffee ever. With the internal parts, it is not hard to clean, but time consuming, especially given the time it takes to cool off enough to take apart (the other reason to get a bigger one, the little one is too slow to reload). The styling is a little retro, but handsome enough to lend a kitchen a quirky flair... Read more 59 of 61 people found the following review helpful: The only drawback? You'll need a larger one for company..., By This review is from: Bialetti 6799 Moka Express 3-Cup Stovetop Espresso Maker (Kitchen) Recently picked up a 3 cup Bialetti Moka Express while on holiday and couldn't wait to get it home and broken in. I've tried stove-top Italian coffee makers before, and this model has not disappointed. Sturdy and well made, this unit only has about five parts, all of them metal or heavy-duty plastic so very little can go wrong. This should last ages if properly cared for. Just remember to keep it simple; fresh, cold water in the lower chamber (stopping *before* you get to the brass outlet valve) and fill the grounds basket with an espresso grind coffee (good excuse to buy more coffee) without packing it too tightly. Place on your stovetop ring and don't go anywhere. Wait a few minutes, and you have an excellent espresso to start the day or to add to steamed milk after dinner. I can't wait to have some with a cigar this weekend. I've been trying some Cafe Bustello the last few mornings and it's been great. Yeah, I know it's canned, but so are most of the... Read more |
