It's called a mocha. Try not to forget all the parts when you put it together, especially the screen. :blush:

The house we stayed at in Italy only had of these. After figuring it out and using it for week, i bought one to bring home. Works great, although i usually only break it out on weekends.

Thanks for the head up, I just placed an order. I'll let everyone know how it turns out with some of my home roasted beans.

Used one a bunch when I was on vacation over the summer, loved it. And the mailman just dropped mine off. Thanks for the link, Gary!

I love mine. $9 for the 9 cup maker on some deal a day site. It took me a day to make my money back! What's everyone's favorite brand of espresso roast ground (or unground) beans. Some seem to work better than others and I'm still experimenting.

For every day use, Medaglia D'Oro. Sure, there's better, but it's what La Famigla has always used.

Is there another brand other than that out there?
I just made a pot and I'm filled with song....even though it's BEFORE the coming snow storm and there ain't no sun :laugh:
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole,
n'aria serena doppo na tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare già na festa...
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole.
Ma n'atu sole
cchiù bello, oje ne'.
O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
O sole
O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.
Ma n'atu sole
cchiù bello, oje ne'.
O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
O sole
O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!
I WISH the sun was in my face...
Damn snow!

The above is what happens when you put too much anisette in the espresso.

Used to use mine all the time until the wife got me a fancy schmancy espresso maker for Christmas.

I have one of those glass topped, flat stoves and this works perfectly fine on it. The pot is flat on the bottom. Works well on a gas stove, too, so long as the burner isn't larger than the pot.engspot said:
As for what kind I use, Caffè Kimbo is what's in the cupboard right now. From Italy, but no idea whether it's good, bad or whatever. I like it.

...and home made anisette ta'boot!
I have that style in two sizes, one is a two serving size, so 2 demitasse cups. The other is a family after dinner size which makes a good amount of demitasse cups, been so long since I've used the big one, but think it is something like 8 cups.
I actually like Cafe Bustelo better than Madaglia D'oro, if you HAVE to use preground coffee. The best I've had is some brand whose name currently eludes me. was wonderfully rich and sweet. If I remember, I'll edit this post with the name.

Doc you like Campari too? I do. It's best with soda water.
