Se si vuole restare sulla moka io ti consiglio la brikka , con il caffè "kimbo macinato fresco" (si chiama proprio così non che devi macinarlo tu),

Acqua fredda/tiepida fino al segno (questa chiede una quantità d acqua molto precisa), caffè assolutamente NON PRESSATO, un paio di colpetti sull' imbuto/filtro e si assesta da solo, livellato con il manico del cucchino, non deve fare la montagnola.

Fiamma vivace, appena senti il "psssssst" della valvola spegni e intazza subito.

Caffè fenomenale

I have a 3 cup Bialetti ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000AN3QI/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1418913949&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 ). I figured if I was going to get one then I might as well get the one that has been around forever. I'm sure the others work just fine but I have really enjoyed this. I make and drink two of brews of this most mornings and wouldn't get anything bigger but that's just me. The "3 cup" option is just right for one person who drinks one or two cups a day.

There is also a moka brikka ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000AN3QN/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1418914211&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 ) which is supposed to add more pressure to the equation and make something similar to an espresso with crema on top. I haven't used it but there are videos showing it off.

I just went into it not expecting a true espresso because that's not what you're going to get. But you are going to get a great tasting cup.

Like the other post said, it is some work to get it just right but I enjoy the work it takes. Makes the outcome more appealing and rewarding.

TL; DR Bialetti is great but others are probably similar. Moka Brikka is another option.

Here's my opinion for what it's worth.

So I have had a lot of nespresso coffee (they have had one at every place I've worked at for the past four years).

At home I have a hand grinder and a Bialetti brikka. I can honestly say that I prefer my own mokka coffee / pseudoespresso that I make at home than any nespresso variety.

Mokka+hand grinder:

  1. quite a bit more effort
  2. slightly messier
  3. significantly cheaper
  4. IMO tastier and stronger (with practice, see point 1)

    Nespresso machine:

  5. Lock into Nesle (some people might have an ethical thing with that)
  6. Capsules are the main cost over time, the machine looks like good value, because lock in.
  7. Quick
  8. Clean
  9. Consistently quite good

questa per intenderci? Se sì, l'ho avuta, il caffè mi piaceva molto, era una via di mezzo tra espresso e moka, con un po' di cremina. L'unica scocciatura è che con una caffettiera neanche piccola ti viene un caffè solo (o 2). Giusto adesso mi sono ricordata di lei, rimasta con le coinquiline dopo che me ne sono andata. :(
