Anyone who can't stand "weak office coffee" commonly known as "American style coffee" will love this machine. First off it does not make espresso but a rare type of brew called Moka. Amazing, moka isn't coffee after all. A Moka brew is some delicious place between espresso and weak coffee. Try it for the looks (the machine is beautiful) and the rich aroma, flavourful coffee it brews. (via Jamaica Blue Mountain Traders, LLC.)
