The Moka Espresso pot is a staple in many Italian homes. Many of us have actually seen this classic pot, usually made of aluminum with black handles and flat sides. The Moka pot has a unique way of creating a rich cup of delicious espresso. Traditionally a 3-part stove top coffee maker, you place your finely ground coffee in the midsection filter compartment and your water in the base section. As the water starts to heat, the rising steam will push up through the filter compartment, brewing the coffee into the upper section. The tricky part of course is making sure it doesn’t boil, leaving you with burnt coffee. De’Longhi has taken the guess-work out of Moka Espresso-making with it’s DeLonghi Alicia Electric Moka Espresso Maker.

Being electric, this convenient Moka maker can brew up to 6 cups of rich Espresso anywhere you’d like. It has a transparent container so you can keep an eye on the brewing process and an automatic shut-off to prevent any overflow problems or overcooked coffee. And the cool-touch base makes it easy for you to keep on any counter top. This Moka maker is the perfect Espresso Maker for today’s modern kitchen.
