It's morning. I'm sitting here, drinking a delicious cup of coffee, espresso made with my Italian style coffee maker. For anyone who doesn't know, it's similar to an American percolator, but in reverse. The bottom canister holds the water, a small amount, perhaps a cup. Directly above it is the basket containing the coffee, and at the top is where your coffee emerges. The coffee is strong, but full of flavor. Whatever your favorite roast is, the flavor will be magnified. It will burst forth in your mouth, confirming everything you love about it, or showing you flavor characteristics you never expected.
When I lived in Tibet, a young man living down the hall from me, taught a few of us how this delightful little machine works, and what miraculous liquid emerges from it. There is nothing like it, in terms of flavor, and it is simplicity to make. If you enjoy coffee, then you will love owning an Italian coffee maker. And you will get to know your favorite coffee that much better.
