Bialetti Moka Express Coffee Maker
The Bialetti Moka Express coffee maker is our latest toy. Whilst new to us, it does have an established history. It dates back to 1933 so we are not exactly on the cutting edge bringing this to you.
The process is not exactly instant but the is part of the charm.
You unscrew the bottom part of the Bialetti and put the water in. A filter holds the coffee in the middle. It goes over a heat source and the water is drawn through the coffee and collects in the top. Ingenious, and works much quicker than I expected. Great taste and a joy to use

Rod, may I ask if your good taste in coffee machines is reflected in the type of coffee you use? I recommend the tea/coffee emporium on Steep Hill in Lincoln….. it’s a joy to shop there. I’m addicted to the organic Golden Buds China tea …. must have more kick than chocolate, who knows what I’m really consuming.

many thanks for bringing up that excellent emporium.
I am indeed familiar with it. They supply me with my Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans (which I grind myself for ground coffee).
The coffee used in the bialetti is different and specially imported. My importer is already securing another batch which should last me a year
Regards
Rod

If you can afford Blue Mountain Coffee then you can afford peppercorns-stick that in your grinder!

this sounds very hostile, did you have fillet steak sandwiches for lunch again?
Did it not occur to you that one of the reasons I enjoy the finer things in life is because I try not to waste money on the more mundane, preferring, when possible, to acquire these FOC
