Bialetti Moka Express Stovetop Espresso Maker, 3-Cup, Silver

Budget Pour-Over & Drip Brewers

Our verdict

The Moka Express has been making strong stovetop coffee since the 1930s, and the aluminium octagonal pot still does the job with no electricity and no paper filters. The 3-cup size brews a small, intense pot that suits one or two short servings, and the ritual itself is part of the appeal. It needs a fine grind and a watchful eye on the heat, and it is sized in small espresso cups rather than full mugs, so check the capacity before buying.
