The Moka pot
We highly recommend the original made in Italy BIALETTI Moka Express stovetop coffee maker range. While they are a little more expensive, the quality of craftsmanship, with the ease to get new seals, make it worth the small extra purchase price. Do note they come in different sizes, colors and stovetop configurations, so choose the right one for your needs. The 6 cup might make six little Italian espresso's but it makes two normal size cups of strong perfectly brewed coffee.
