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.

• 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.
• Pressurized Safety Valve ensures safe operation.
• Aluminum Boiler is made of durable, high-quality aluminum. Count on getting great espresso for years to come.

Customer Reviews

I love this Moka Machine!
Take your time and read the entire manual before you use this Moka Machine and you will make great Moka!
Some tips to remember,
1. Make 2 or 3 separate brews and discard them. (Allow to cool, 1+ hours)
2. Make sure you tighten by holding the chrome base and NOT the plastic
pitcher.
3. Use expresso cups (2 oz.) as this Moka Machine only makes 8 oz.
4. Completely rinse and clean before each use!
Enjoy your Moka!

I love this machine, but the plastic carafe cracks
I love this machine, it makes great espresso and is easy to handle. The only problem is that I have experienced the same problem many others have experienced...the plastic carafe cracks from the heat and eventually falls apart. The replacement carafe is $30 and that bugs me to have to pay for a defective part like this.

Best Expresso maker
I have had stove top coffee makers like this one but this electric version is over the top. The coffee tasted great. No more worries about burning the coffee. No more worries about the coffee spilling over because you weren't watching it. It is also more compact than other espresso coffee makers and keeps it warm awhile too. I bought one for a good friend of mine for her office. With an office full of Hispanic women you can only imagine how popular she was. I would recommended this product to others.
