Bialetti Musa 4-Cup Stovetop PercolatorI've owned a 6-cup "Moka Pot" for a couple years and recently purchased the Bialetti Musa 4-cup stovetop perconlator for $39 from amazon.
Moka Pot:Your standard Italian stovetop percolator that will last forever despite cheap construction.About $6 from the second-hand store, and very easy to find.Unfortunately, they're a bit more work -- the aluminum construction results in a metallic taste if not properly cleaned.The "proper" way to clean it is to use only hot water and leave the oily coffee film in the pot (to coat the aluminum and provide a barrier).So, it provides increasing returns if *not* cleaned. :)
Bialetti:Stainless steel -- easy cleanup, can use soapy water, no metallic taste.Harder to find (check amazon, health-food stores).Mine arrived via Amazon.com yesterday, no metal shavings or grease (as an earlier reviewer experienced).
As other reviewers have pointed out, the "4-Cup" version does 6-8 oz of espresso, so that's like that Starbucks "Venti" wonder that you're trying to avoid.
Here's an easy recipe that should kick you out the door in the morning:
6-8 oz espresso from Stovetop (1 Moka Pot)
1-2 Tbsp of sugar
6-8 oz of half-n-half
Throw it in the microwave for 30s, some like it hot.
Enjoy!
