I picked up the Bialetti Moka 3 cup and some espresso ground coffee from Starbucks (was the closest thing to Bed Bath and Beyond to get coffee and try it out). Overall, It was a pleasant first experience. The only thing that I don't like is that it simply makes too much. It makes about 4-5 full double espresso cups. With this one, I'm going to be wasting almost half every day which isn't very cost effective. They didn't carry the 1 cup unfortunately. I may order the 1 cup online, that is unless I can put less water and coffee into the 3 cup? Could I fill it half way with water and coffee or is that a no go?
