There will always be a debate whether or not stovetop espresso is real espresso. However, after living in Italy for a year, I can say that every Italian family has more than a few Bialetti Moka's at their home and it is the most common way that 'coffee' is consumed at home.

If you want a more Italian bar style espresso, try the Bialetti Brikka. It has an additional pressure valve which helps make crema. At about $40 it's still a great deal compared otherwise more expensive espresso makers.

looks shop'd.
