>> The best single coffee is without doubt that produced by my Bialetti type percolator but its a faff, does not sit well on my gas hob and is a pain to clean.
Agreed. That's what I use to start the day. But what's all this cleaning malarkey? A good coating of old coffee is better than a raw aluminium surface any day. Better for the brain.
Someone I knew had a sort of small Gaggia coffee bar machine with real coffee containers that screwed in and a rugged little gear lever to pull down and force the stuff through. Made great coffee but took a while to use. I've had various other espresso-style pressure machines too, They tend to bend or break. Bialetti's best up to now.
