For a moka pot this is a solid reliable choice, especially if you want steel instead of aluminum. I used one of these for years and it gave me many cups of decent coffee--especially while traveling, since it's small, light, and durable. At home I drink hand drip coffee now, but the Ilsa is still the easiest coffee maker to bring on the road.

BiffsBizPouring hot water from a kettle onto ground coffee in a filter. Like a Mr. Coffee, except you do it by hand. That lets you make sure the water is the right temperature (with nearly all automatic makers, it is too cold) and soaks the grounds more evenly than most automatic machines will. Makes much better coffee.

PotipharBreenAh, okay. Yeah that's how I make coffee unless I use a French press. Thanks.

cino"French press" is what English-speakers call a cafetière à pression or cafetière à piston. I think Bodum invented the term, but everyone says it. I only use mine for cold brewing.

cinoI didn't know the "Neapolitan cafetiere" was a French invention. All I knew was that people either love it or hate it.
