if you want espresso at home, there is really no reason to fork over major dough when just a few more minutes and little more time, you get the same thing.
with this item, you can make starbucks latte at home.
if you can wait 25 minutes for it to make you one cup of espresso (even though it says 4 cups, there's no way it would make that much), then this might be ok for you to buy it.
this is perfect for making a single cup of rich coffee.
as a previous reviewer mentioned, one doesn't have much reason to use it, so it's not a serious drawback.
before i used to make coffee in aluminum coffee maker and i can't really explain that, but trust me - the test is different (better) in this one.
for half the price, you might consider one of bialetti's basic aluminum moka pots.
this one is way better than the class model.
luckily no one was near it when it happened.
if you need a energy boost in just one cup of coffee, this product is calling your name!
it was perfect for me to have just one cup in the morning.
this is perfect for making great coffee for one person (at least in my case).
one word of caution on the 3-cup: it really only makes enough for one person, and barely that if you like to fill a regular size travel mug.
the fact that bialetti has been producing this very model of espresso maker since the '30s, and that nearly every italian household owns one, says something about its quality.
the finishing could have been better as the edges appear rough and for the most famous household coffee machine ever it could manage some styling.
the only hitch is that it makes too much espresso for one person.
this is an easy and authentic stove top method of preparing it at home.
taking a traditional way of making espressos and making it current.i would seriously recommend this to anyone looking to making espressos at home.
if you will be making coffee for more than one person get the larger size.
we discovered the product in a beach side furnished house in costa rica this winter and were delighted at the delicious coffee it made.
this is a great one person, (pnw) espresso maker.
this filter usually tkaes time to get enough espresso to make one cup of coffee, but bialetti does a beautiful job in just about a minute.
i find the 3-cup a good size for one person or to share, while the 4-cup is best for two.
if i knew making esperesso at home was going to be this easy i would have bought a machine like this years ago!!!
