Amazon.com Review A compact way to get your daily shot, the DeLonghi Alicia Electric Moka espresso maker satisfies the dueling needs for convenience and caffeine. Italian in origin and engineering, DeLonghi is well respected for its small appliance innovations, and this unit boasts several, from durable construction to safety features. Because it is outfitted with a cool-touch base, the Alicia goes anywhere you can plug it in. The sturdy aluminum boiler is built for frequent use, and the container is transparent to let you track the brewing progress. The boiler automatically shuts off to prevent overheating and, in the case of inopportune phone calls, keeps your coffee warm for up to 30 minutes. The Alicia also automatically switches off when you remove the coffee-maker from the base. Additional helpful features include an indicator light, a cool-touch handle, and a swiveling base. Measuring 5.12 by 8.27 by 10.63 inches, the Alicia churns out 3 to 6 cups of espresso. The 3-cup adaptor is available separately. --Emily Bedard From the Manufacturer Moka is the Italian Way to Make Espresso Authentic espresso is the heritage of the Italian culture and tradition, and the great Italian tradition of coffee making began with moka. Found in most Italian kitchens for more than half a century, moka produces an inherently aromatic espresso. It is more intense in flavor, and more pure in coffee taste. That is why generations of Italians have sworn by stovetop moka espresso makers. In fact, in Italy every family owns at least two mokas. Used on the stovetop, the heat from the burner boils the water and directs it up through the ground coffee and into the receptacle, producing a perfect espresso every time. Why an Electric Moka Espresso Maker? Although the traditional stovetop moka makes great espresso, people have been searching for a safe, convenient and easy-to-use alternative. The new six-cup machine embodies DeLonghi's commitment to its Italian heritage and innovative kitchen design. The Electric Moka Espresso Maker is a modern-day, convenience-minded adaptation of a beloved Italian staple. Electric Moka Espresso Maker Features: - 3- to 6-cup espresso capacity
- Transparent Coffee Container lets you easily monitor the entire brewing process. And the durable container is easy-to-clean.
- Filter Adapter allows you to choose 3 or 6 cups of espresso, so you can select the amount of espresso to make depending on the number of people you're serving.
- Automatic Shut-Off With Keep Warm Function keeps espresso hot for up to 30 minutes. And with automatic safety shut-off, your espresso will never burn or overflow.
- Two-Level Safety System will automatically shut-off the machine when the unit is finished brewing and when the body is lifted from the base.
- Cordless Operation with Detachable Base makes serving convenient and simple. You can bring your espresso right to the table.
- On/Off Switch with Indicator Light Easy-to-use illuminated push-button control lets you know when the unit is in operation.

A++ August 10, 2010 Mike I bought this coffeemaker with my roommate at Bed, Bath, & Beyond a while ago and used it for about 2 years until we moved into separate apartments. He got the coffeemaker when we moved out, and it left a huge whole in my life. I ordered a new one from Amazon because it was so good.
This is the best Cuban coffee-maker I've ever owned, and I've owned like 5. Very simple to use and keep clean. This is exactly like a stovetop coffeemaker with a heated base so it doesn't require the stove.
Was happy at first June 3, 2010 Christopher Phillips Initially I was very satisfied with this brewer. The only down falls was if you needed to make large batches the base was hot. That wasn't a big deal though. Now several months later the brewer burns the coffee. I can no longer set it and walk away. I have to watch it and then its a fine line between not brewed enough and burnt. I am very unhappy and will try to get a replacement but I may be just looking for another brewer.
Almost perfect January 25, 2010 A. Palla (Houston, TX United States) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I like this espresso maker very much and have one at home and one at work. I've been using it for about a month and can report that the coffee is very, very good and the unit is easy to clean. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't shut itself off when the coffee is ready. I HATE overcooked coffee (which is one reason I like espresso so much - it never gets close to the heating element) and I bought this hoping I wouldn't have to stand around to turn it off, like I do with my stove-top espresso maker. But it doesn't shut itself off, so I do have to stick around. A very nice surprise is that, so long as the unit is in place on the base, you can set the button to "on" and it stays set, even if unplugged. This means (I hope) that I can plug it into a timer (once I make it over to Lowe's to buy one) so that the coffee is ready when I wake up.
Bialetti 6-cup top will replace broken plastic top November 18, 2009 Ruby Coffee (Paris, FRANCE) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
When the transparent plastic top breaks (and with constant use, it will) you can simply replace it with a more sturdy top from a Bialetti 6-cup stove-top model like this: Bialetti Moka Express 6-Cup Stovetop Percolator. Don't throw it all away. No need to buy an entire new one. I dislike the build in redundancy of some modern products, so I'm glad to be able to share this tip.
