        <content>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.   </content>

      <content>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.</content>

      <content>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

      <content>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.</content>

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