Stylish Espresso Maker For Home

When I tried this stove top espresso maker, I was blown away by its sleek and modern design. It looks great on my kitchen counter and is easy to clean. The espresso it produces is rich and flavorful, and it's a great addition to my morning routine. The only downside is that it can be a bit tricky to use at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a great investment for any home and kitchen.

Pros
  • Stylish and elegant design
Cons
  • High price point

The handle gets too HOT!

I agree with Sebastian. I wanted the "best" so I bought the 9090/1 as a Christmas present. The handle gets so hot you can't touch it when using it on a gas stove. For real? Yes, I use a small burner on a lower flame, but that doesn't matter. I am very disappointed in this product and for almost $200 the espresso is just average. Does anyone know of a good refractory material to wrap the handle? This is possibly one of the worst espresso makers out there.

Pros
  • Kitchen and dining room
Cons
  • I'm worried

Knowledge is power!

Knowing how to use this Moca Caffe makes a world of difference! There are several videos on YouTube explaining how to use this wonderful coffee brewing gem. First boil water in a kettle, then put Alessi Moca on the bottom of the pot. Then heat it on a burner one handle away from the heat source. Voila! No boiling hot handle. And you end up with the tastiest cup of java you've ever tasted. I've been using the freshly ground one-cup drip irrigation method for years. Then I suddenly realized that…

Pros
  • Espresso and mocha pots on the stove
Cons
  • Hard to say
