The Bialetti 06799 Moka Express 3 Cup Espresso Maker produces an inherently aromatic coffee that is definitely more European in style than American coffee. The Bialetti 06799 can be used on almost all types of burners including gas, electric and glass heat sources. Any type of coarse ground coffee can be used. For an excellent cup of Italian coffee, the classic eight-side Bialetti 06799 household coffeepot is considered a true Italian tradition.
