Bialetti Moka Express 3 Cup

Enjoying the taste of Starbucks anywhere

Advantages: Cheap, very easy to use, portable (ideal for camping)
Disadvantages: 1 cup version too small, a chore to clean, takes ages to boil

of the stove top variety. It consists of an aluminium jug made out of two distinct sections. The first consists of the bottom water holding vessel and the second is a top pouring pot. The two sections are screwed together to make a single unit, in which water and coffee is added before the pot is heated up on a hob, a gas ring, a camping stove or any other cooker that you may wish to use. The Moka Express range The Moka Expresso is available in a variety of sizes including a 1cup, 3 cup, 6 cup, 9 cup, 12 cup and 18 cup. The range of sizes in good but are they all really needed? I can see the point of the 1, 3 and even 6 cup versions but everything above this seems pointless to me. When you consider the boiling times, the actual energy you are going to use in boiling such large vessels and the hassle of cleaning the large pots (all ...

Review of Bialetti Moka Express 1 cup

Dont mock the Moka

Advantages: Delicious Coffee and aroma
Disadvantages: high caffine intake

Review of Bialetti MOKA EASY

"L'omino con i baffi"

Advantages: Uncomplicated top stove espresso maker
Disadvantages: So easy to make you'll end up a nervous wreck

water flow. Really, I could not be without one of these machines. I own three at the moment which are all used regularly. They are all different capacities (3 cup, 4 cup, and 6 cup) and I only own a few of the sizes available (1 cup, 2 cup, 12 cup and 24 cup) Washing out the machine is very straightforward, but again take care of the filters.
