I was unhappy with the performance of our Bialetti Moka Elettrika (it was fine but the espresso came out a little “flat”) and since we purchase more expensive small batch roasted coffee I felt like we were throwing away money with each brew.  I almost purchased an Aeropress and then I stumbled upon the ROK espresso maker.

It looks awesome, its made of heavy duty stainless steel, it uses ground coffee (not pods) and it makes a luscious crema when the espresso is pulled nice and slow.  I love the entire process of making coffee each morning and this hands on experience is an extremely rewarding way to begin my day.  They’ve just launched a manual coffee grinder so that just might be my personal Christmas request.
