The Bialetti Moka Express is the best and cheapest way to make a great cup of espresso-like coffee.A french press makes the best. The only problem is keeping the second cup warm. I worked at Williams-Sonoma for years, and we sold everything from $30.00 French Press to $2500.00 Espresso Machines. NOTHING beat the french press for fresh, honest coffee taste.
Oh, and Illy Coffee beans. Freshly ground, of course. Medium grind on Burr coffee grinder. With good water. Ummmm
