I've been wanting to try one of these Bialetti Moka pots for a while now. My house is solar powered so I am always looking for appliances that don't need to be plugged in. Percolated coffee tastes so bad that I have been drinking instant for way too long. This pot makes great tasting coffee right on my gas stove.
It may take a little trial and error to figure out how much ground coffee to use, everyone's taste is a little different but once you have it dialed in, you can't beat it.
If you have been researching, or using this kind of pot you probably already know that the 6 cup rating actually means 1 or 2 "American" size cups, perfect for my needs. If you really fill the funnel all the way with grounds, then, yes you could get six small very strong espresso cups of coffee out of it but I personally cut back on the amount of coffee to make it more of a -better than drip but not as strong as espresso- flavor. Be warned- if, like me, you are looking for a flavorful way to move away from instant or drip and you make a strong pot in this Bialetti, you will get a caffeine jolt. Other reviewers have said they don't get that jolt but they must be used to espresso already.
Bottom line - I like this little pot, it's perfect for one or two people, easy to clean, makes very flavorful coffee and uses no electricity.Get more detail about Bialetti Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Percolator.
