Bialetti Mukka glass cappuccino maker

[Greatfallsdeb]

Has anyone had good or bad experience with the glass mukka? Not sure if it is a WS exclusive but I read about it somewhere and see it in my new catalog.

I've wanted to buy one of these for awhile, but for every great review I read - I find a horrible review as well. People either seem to love them or hate them.

I think it's fine for people who think it's espresso, but not so much for people who can make the real thing.

Bought one last week and both my wife are very happy with it - makes a good cappuccino and is simple to use.

From what I could tell WS has an exclusive on the glass, but they sell a polished aluminum one that is more widely available. http://www.bialetti.it/uk/catalogue/scheda.asp?id_cat=69

Also over 200 reviews of the aluminum one on Amazon:

As an fyi - we use it on a gas range top.

What drove my decision to purchase it:
Quality (both product and the end drink) - have had espresso made with bialetti before and was as good as "machines" costing hundreds more
Size - small and doesn't take up any counter space
Ease of use - couldn't be easier to make a frothy cappuccino

enjoy

In their web site they say it's exclusive.
However, when I was searching for one of these online a few months ago I thought I saw it somewhere else...just can't remember the site. Sorry.
