Product Reviews Every family in Italy owns one of these machines. Here are a few tips: 1. In Italy this is NOT called an espresso machine, but a Moka machine. An espresso is what you would drink in bar made with a steam or high pressure machine with the crema on top. 2. Smaller size Moka machine tend to make better coffee. 3. Never wash the Moka with detergents, just rinse it under tap water 4. You've gotta use it often for a good coffee. 5. If you haven't use it in a while, make a weak coffee ("lungo") and discard 6. DO NOT put the MOka in the dishwasher. 7. Use drinking water. Avoid tap water especially if very chlorinated 8. Never compress the coffee. 9. For a strong coffee fill the filter with ground coffee and make a small cupola that slightly protrudes beyond the rim. Do not press down. 10. For best coffee, heat at very low heat. It's ok if it takes 10min. 11. As soon as coffee reaches the top, remove from heat 12. Do not let the coffee boil 13. Use good quality coffee, not too strong, medium grind (try Illy for a good commercial brand) 14. Sip while still hot, enjoy!
