From the Manufacturer
Moka is the Italian Way to Make Espresso
Authentic espresso is the heritage of the Italian culture and tradition, and the great Italian tradition of coffee making began with moka. Found in most Italian kitchens for more than half a century, moka produces an inherently aromatic espresso. It is more intense in flavor, and more pure in coffee taste. That is why generations of Italians have sworn by stovetop moka espresso makers.
In fact, in Italy every family owns at least two mokas. Used on the stovetop, the heat from the burner boils the water and directs it up through the ground coffee and into the receptacle, producing a perfect espresso every time.
Why an Electric Moka Espresso Maker? Although the traditional stovetop moka makes great espresso, people have been searching for a safe, convenient and easy-to-use alternative. The new six-cup machine embodies DeLonghi’s commitment to its Italian heritage and innovative kitchen design. The Electric Moka Espresso Maker is a modern-day, convenience-minded adaptation of a beloved Italian staple.

Set it on a timer and enjoy yummy morning coffee! It was a bit of a learning curve to learn to make yummy coffee but I love this machine! I set it on a timer at night (purchased separately) and I have my strong coffee ready in the morning. I was hoping it would make a little bit more coffee judging from the reviews…this really makes only enough for one person in my family. There was a bit of a plastic smell at first but after running it without coffee it hasn’t been an issue since. This is our current favorite kitchen gadget and we use it…
Useful gift for expresso lovers So far received and works as expected. Brews coffee faster than the stove model. It was a gift for my husband’s private office cause he doesn’t like weak American style coffee, rather the strong coffee from domestic procurators like this one. He grinds the roasted coffee beans at home very fine for his expresso. He likes it but has realized it has a particular taste different to his home stove Moka expresso proculator. Out friend expert in coffee roasting and expresso told us that plastic…
I love it – NO LEAKS WHATSOEVER in mine – NEVER over boil again. Mine doesn’t leak AT ALL. It heats up and starts brewing quickly and is much faster than the stove type at boiling the water. It shuts off the boiler when there is still a tiny bit (but negligible) amount of water left – it won’t completely dry out on the inside which helps prevent mineral scale and it also WON’T OVERHEAT YOUR COFFEE. You can turn it on and leave knowing when you come back you’ll have a hot cup of espresso rather than boiled coffee with scale on the bottom of the boiler and…
