Mokapot for 4?

[germantown rob]

One more thing, I have never used an electric moka pot and I am sure they work fine but I have been using a stove top for 20 years and well other than the gasket they last forever or at least a very long time.

I am looking at the bialetti site,
Bialetti Shop
the electric look interesting with a small hot plate, I wonder if it is the same pot that could also be used on a stove?

I had an electric - really cute - a Bertone Design Velox. It was for sure $25 worth of fun (used, ebay) but not a great brewer. It was OK. I have the same vibe about other electrics - they're OK but tend to get too hot.

But hey! If Bialetti can't get it right (for $99) by 2009, who can? Neat little hotplate if you can put any mokapot on it. Can't tell if it has one of those prods up its' little six-cup butt or not. I am thinking it must be prodded. If so, too bad it only comes in 6-cupper.

I just reread the description..."mobile power base"...I think the heating element is in the bottom of the moka pot, to bad.
