Espresso maker »Brasilia«, 6 cups

I was skeptical about stovetop espresso, but this maker delivers a rich brew that fills the kitchen with that proper coffee aroma. Six cups is perfect for when my parents visit, and it sits solidly on the burner without wobbling at all.

Six cups comes out exactly right every morning, and the stovetop brew gets that thick crema I missed from my old machines. Cleanup is quick since it’s just the one pot, and the classic shape fits perfectly on the burner.

Six cups is the perfect amount for my weekend mornings, and the stovetop design gives that classic rich espresso without any fancy machine. The whole brew takes about ten minutes, which is a nice little ritual to start the day.
