I am an Italian brat that enjoys coffee more than "most" things, so if a cup is not up to par, I tend to get a little cranky. Just a little. ;)
This is a simple to use (and to clean) Moka pot. It is durable, well designed, and makes 3 cups as I prefer. It makes the sort of coffee that I seek in a cup, and the coffee is delicious, never having any grounds in my cup whatsoever. I use fresh coffee beans, ensuring my coffee is always fresh. I grind them, place water in the bottom of the pot, add grounds, gently press with the plate, put the pot together, and place over heat--any stove works well with this pot, just do not allow the flames to go too high, if using a gas stove. After the coffee stops and I see cream, my coffee is ready! It is that simple. Once you have a taste of coffee being made this way, you will become a brat as well, and insist on coffee only made this way.
I love the high quality stainless and the weight of this well-crafted Moka pot, and the fact that it delivers authentic Italian inspired coffee so easily each morning, ensuring I wake up to complete and utter happiness. Again, I am a coffee over, so it is essential that my coffee taste and smell great.
