Espresso drinkers who don't want to fuss with valves and knobs will appreciate the simplicity of this stovetop espresso maker. Constructed of durable stainless steel with a retro-look black Bakelite handle, the machine heats on any type of stovetop burner and doesn't require paper filters. Bodum includes user-friendly directions for filling the bottom compartment with water, the cone-shaped filter with fine coffee grounds, and what sound to listen for when steam has forced its way through the grounds and deposited the aromatic brew in the upper chamber. A safety valve regulates the steam pressure.

This is the larger of two sizes of stovetop espresso maker by Bodum, measuring 9 inches tall and 4-1/4 inches in diameter at the base. The 27-ounce capacity pours approximately three large mugs or six smaller cups of coffee. After use, the espresso maker can be unscrewed and every piece placed in the dishwasher or quickly washed by hand. Allow to dry completely before reassembling. Caution: Use a small burner whose diameter matches the bottom of the espresso maker as closely as possible, and make sure the handle is not directly over the heat from the burner. --Ann Bieri
