Actually, a Moka, which is what you mentioned, is what most Italians use. It lasts forever, never takes a crap, and is always reliable to make a good cup. All you need are spare rings for those unfortunate times when you walk away from the stove. The fancier machines are for export to America. Bialetti makes stainless as well. I use both stainless and aluminum and have no preference either way. I have an aluminum 1 cup Moka that has served me for over a decade. I have also been using their Mukka Express for larger servings or cappuccino in the morning.
