Review on Alessi Espresso Maker 9090 by Richard Sapper for 6 Espresso Cups by James Morrow

I like it, it's by far my favorite design and I have several of them. However, they all work great. If you like this kind of quasi-espresso, I recommend buying this model. Be sure to learn how to use them, there are many reviews and YouTube videos. Unlike home-made mechanical espresso machines, there's nothing wrong with the Moka Pot. I recommend getting a good coffee grinder (the best coffees tend to come in whole beans). If you're on a budget, get a manual coffee grinder for the freshest flavor. Finding the right grind consistency is also good, coarser than espresso but finer than a drip. With a little practice you can get the grind right, if you don't want to grind Illy makes a moka grind which is pretty good.
