To add to the coffee tips, if you visit Italy the home town of coffee (caffé) is Naples, same as pizza, and both taste significantly better than in the rest of Italy (on average and not accounting for personal tastes of course). | |

| Nov 25, 2015 at 12:04 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | The best Moka pots, take it from me, are the smaller sized ones. The ones that serve three cups of coffee. Never waste your money on buying the jumbo-sized one, i.e. the twelve cups, the taste is horrendous. If you have several guests, do as I do, put two small mokas on the cooker at the same time. I don't have a coffee machine, but as Josh said, they are taking over the Bialetti iconic coffee maker. :( | |

| Nov 25, 2015 at 11:12 | comment | added | Ricky | @PhilMJones: This site 1stincoffee.com/art-of-making-espresso says, 190-196 F, which is 87-91 C, but I distinctly remember reading somewhere that it should be 88 C. Some article on making manual espresso machines. | |

| Nov 25, 2015 at 9:24 | comment | added | Phil M Jones | Why 88 C? The sources I've just checked vary in their opinion, but all are in the low 90s. 91-93; 92-96; 94. Oops, I've just realised how wildly off-topic this is, but as it's a comment... | |
