Do you guys/gals like a good, strong coffee? We had coffee made in a 'moka' pot on our trip and it was delicious. It is called "poor man's espresso". Of course I had to buy one :rolleyes: I did read that if you get one, get stainless steel, NOT aluminum.

Tink....that might be right up our alley. We buy imported coffee beans....dark roast and grind them daily because both hubs and I LOVE coffee to be very strong. Does this make coffee stronger than a drip pot?

This sort of looks like a sleeker, Italian version of a Turkish coffee pot. Is the coffee very finely ground, with just water (no filter) in the top part and the lower part heats it? And then you just decant off the coffee?

I get the aluminum part because it would react with the acids in the coffee over time.

Yes, much stronger. The one I got makes 6 cups... BUT by cups they mean espresso cups (like little teacups you would find in a dollhouse, LOL). You can get a couple of regular-sized cups out of it. Of course, while you are drinking your first cup you could brew another one.
