Generations of Italians have sworn by Bialetti's stovetop espresso maker, now available with a built-in heating system. You can brew espresso anywhere there's an electrical outlet—the kitchen, office or dorm room. Just fill the aluminum pot's lower chamber with water and the filter with ground espresso, then press a button. After brewing is finished, lift the espresso maker off the base and bring the pot right to the table. Brews six 2-oz cups of espresso. 10" high.
