Pimp That Product

Also i think i am going to get this thing eventually:

Chef Tools Bialetti Mukka Express Demo - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QR14yJT_lJs&feature=related)

I do a lot of cream and no sugar to very little sugar in my coffee so i think this thing would be really nice to have. Also this thing says it makes "2 cups" but it looks much bigger then a 2 cup "moka pot" would be. So dont use this to judge size for a moka pot.

I think maybe a moka pot makes a form of expresso (not sure if expresso is a different type of coffee though?), while this thing makes cappuccino. Maybe expresso is 2oz in Italy, and cappuccino is like 4oz since its mixed with milk? Either way, just know that a 3 cup moka pot you can buy at the store is ridiculously small.

I honestly want to give up coffee. I feel a salve to it at times. Everytime I quit I have to suffer through awful headaches for like a week.

I used to use one of these

Amazon.com: Farberware FCP280 8-Cup Percolator: Home & Kitchen (http://www.amazon.com/Farberware-FCP280-8-Cup-Percolator/dp/B00004R946/ref=sr_1_2?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1340134661&sr=1-2&keywords=coffee+maker)

Makes a killer cup of coffee, but I found the quality of the actual coffee maker wasn't that great. I went through 2 of these things in just a couple of years. I guess since they started making them in China the quality has suffered.

@Mredskins - ive never felt any withdrawls before from caffine before..... hopefully this doesnt change that for me.

@ Matty - I couldnt find any perculators i liked. If my new pot ever breaks maybe ill try that one out.

I love espresso, this is the first I've heard of a moka pot. Checked it out on wiki and it says it makes something similar to espresso, but not quite.

I did that. Went through my own one week of hell to the point other people were asking me if I was okay because I looked like I was sick. After you get through it it's not to bad.

Granted I now still technically have caffeine but it's a very small amount that you find in decaf coffee. No where near the 3 or 4 cup minimum of coffee and diet soda I was downing everyday.

There's nothing wrong with caffeine in moderation. Coffee has been cited as beneficial in some health areas if any of those studies can actually be trusted.

It's also a healthier alternative to pre-workout supplements that are basically chemicals with caffeine, and just as effective.

I was not doing it for health reason more to unchain me from the having the ritual of making it in the morning.

There is also a moka pot made by Bialetti that has a "special valve" on it which gives the not quite espresso extra "creme":

Its only avialble in the smaller sizes so its not for me, but you may want to look into it.

Also is cappuccino just espresso with milk or cream? If so that "Mukka Pot" might produce pressurized espresso if you dont put milk in the top part.

I will say this about my pot. It makes really strong coffee but its not bad tasting like strong coffee can be. Its somehow smooth tasting. That said i wouldnt mind if it was less strong.

So part of the reason i wanted a french press or something like what i got is because i heard the best part of the coffee for you is the oil. Oil will aslo supposedly turn your coffee bitter much faster so thats the major turn off. But if you drink it quick or make personally sized cup the oil is susposed to be good for you.

Unfortunately i dont think my pot allows for anymore oil than a pot that uses a paper filter. So maybe a french press is the only way to get that oil.
