Just bought one of those Bialetti Mukka pots that makes cappucino in one step--pretty cool!

Which model did you get, Charlie? I just looked them up and it looks sooo great!
I love it! There is a video that shows how to use it. I'll post the link below, Sue.
I might just have to get one of these, myself.

That's the one I have. As to the negative review--I leave the pot on the stove for
one minute after it finishes and the coffee is plenty hot.
I make sure the rubber gaskets are wet or lightly oiled in order to get a nice tight fit.
In order to disemble the pot immediately after brewing, you twist off the valve to expel some pressure and it opens easily.
It makes one large cup or two small Italian size cups.

Espresso making is not for anyone who doesn't want to take the time
to do it right, no matter what kind of maker you use. They take time and effort to keep them clean and to figure out how to use them. I wasn't intimidated by the comments, really.
I had a Rancilio Silvia machine and figured it out and loved it but didn't use it enough to warrant the expense and counter space so I went back to my old Gaggia Espresso machine. Sold it on eBay for what I'd paid for it! (also used it at the coffee/espresso bar I started and ran at our old church)
I love the way this baby is so small and it would me fine, I think. The only downsize is the amt of drink. If you have people over it'd be a pain, I think.
My house used to be the Starbucks of Mt Vernon! ha (I think Starbuck's is SO overrated and over priced! That's why I learned to do my own)
Good tips, Charlie. Thanks!
Back to the stove - toffee day. That's toffee with a T, not coffee. haha Well...coffee toffee, too. Oh gosh..better just leave it. ha
bye
