By KWT
I own the cow motif mukka, and purchased these for my daughters. It is truly fabulous, as long as you follow the very simple directions. Don't overfill the water and don't compress the espresso and you'll be fine. Illi espresso works best for us. I've mixed half chocolate milk with skim for a mocha, but the best is half eggnog and half skim topped with a dusting of nutmeg. I also heat the milk first as I like mine very hot. It takes less than 4 min on my gas stovetop. Bialetti wins with this one!

By David Murphy
I really like the taste (better than Starbucks' Capuccinos, I think) of the Capuccinos made by this unit. I would use the unit all the time if my stove had the standard smaller gas burners. However the 3-3/4 inch diameter "sealed" burners on my stove shoot out a flame ring that is just too wide for the 4-1/4 inch diameter of the base unit and it takes me 12 minutes to brew, not the 2-1/2 minutes stated by the manual. But I use it whenever I've the time.I tried Lattes produced by this unit but really wasn't impressed.This is the largest Mukka Express version said to make 2 cups, but I think the unit is a bit small for American tastes. I'd call this one a 3/4 cup unit. Bialetti needs to make a 3 cup version for the US. One can cheat with this unit by adding water to the base unit up to the upper line (- the upper line is intended for lattes, while the lower fill line is supposed to be for capuccinos) and put the recommended amount of milk in the upper unit. This will give a full cup of capuccino (maybe close to the Venti size at Starbucks). But if you do add the extra water, the upper unit is just a little too small for the frothed product and it usually overflows out the spout but one can slip a wide coffee "bowl" underneath the unit to catch most of the overflowing froth.I've noticed that the froth on the Capuccinos I make with this unit is colored brown not white. This doesn't bother me, but it might bother some.If a 3 cup unit were developed with a bigger upper unit and a wider lower unit to cover my sealed gas burner, it would be the perfect coffee maker!
