Good Points
Cheap and good.
Bad Points
Even when made properly can be slightly temperamental in producing that perfect coffee - I think it depends on the moon.
General Comments
My Bialetti Moka Express 1-Cup is a world class and unbeatable coffee system pot. Cheap effective means of making a top notch coffee second only to a several hundred pound machine... when made properly.
I have been using it/them for years and i can make a pot in just 5 minutes, whisk up some hot milk and add in roughly equal ratio.
Secret is to keep the heat low, say gas mark 1 it should take a cpl mins for the coffee to start to slooowly and evenly trickle through over another cpl minutes...voila, a pot of rich dark coffee with a nice crema froth!
