The more you use the pot,the better the coffee becomes.6. NEVER WASH THE POT WITH DETERGENT. Don't pack coffee into basket like you do in an espresso machine.3. Before using for the first time season the pot. Be careful not to have the handle be over the burner of flame. Makes better espresso then most of the espresso shops here in Java Town, Seattle.
Grind coffee between medium and fine.2. JUST RINSE AND DRY. It also costs about ten times less then an espresso machine that probably won't make as good coffee, and eventualy will need repair. 5. Make a pot of weak coffee and discard it. Bialetti has been making these things since the dawn of time and have it down to a science.A few tips:1.
Heat between medium and high heat.4.
Easy to clean too -- just run water through it (no soap) and dry. If you want an espresso fast and easy, then this is for you. Just use your favorite coffee beans, and you're set.
Takes a couple of minutes to make and they are delicious. (By the way, my Italian cousin says never to refrigerate the espresso coffee. I bought this espresso maker about a week ago at the suggestion of my cousin who lives in Italy. Why the heck was I spending so much money at Starbucks everyday for all those years. Just keep it on the counter). Also bought a milk frother from Ikea ($2.99), some Illy espresso (2 pack for $25) and vanilla-flavored syrup from Starbucks with pump ($7). I have been drinking the yummiest vanilla lattes every morning.
It's cheap, simple, easy to clean, and the only way to break it is to put it on the stove with no water in it. Really. I love this espresso maker. Don't do that. :) I use it every single day. It makes a perfect double espresso, so it's great for having a fresh macchiato in the morning with my breakfast.
