@johnjohnston and a real Bialetti too. this is always my favorite way to make coffee. but i admit i've become lazy recently and given in to a drip machine. i really should up my game.
@Cassinato I use a 3 cup for coffee for my wife and myself add a tiny bit of boiling water and drop of cold milk. Not fussy buy illy or Taylor Italian beans most of the time. Need to get a 1 cup for solo, use aeropress for that at the moment.
@isaiah Bialetti seem to have the best seals less splutter from the waist. @macgenie I like the ritual. Stovetop is the micro.blog of coffee makers perhaps?
@johnjohnston agreed. i always bought the cheap stuff when i was in college. i thought lasting a year and failing seals was the norm.
i have a Bialetti too. it's only a few bucks more. totally worth buying name brand in this case.
@Cassinato every so often illy gets discounted;-) And the tins are nice. No connoisseur myself. Like Italian rather than the more modern espresso but that is about it.
