Please take into account that a 3-cup means 3 Italian espresso cups, not 3 american 10 oz cups...
The omnia espresso maker as all espresso makers produce rather a moka not a true espresso. A true espresso needs at least a pressure of 6 -9 bar; all espresso makers produce a pressure between 1.5 and 3 bar, hence there is no crema to espresso machines caused in the lower pressure. Let''s better talk about a ''moka pot''. The true moka does not need a crema at all: Depending on the kind of espresso beans and how they are grinded, the moka taste has a full body and can provide a lingering aftertaste as well. If poured into cups directly after the moka is in the upper serving chamber, the moka does not develop any kind of acerbic taste. Finally, the taste is different to drip coffee as well as true espresso. It is just the taste of a classic ''moka''.
Alfonso Bialetti invented in 1933 the principle of preparing coffee with pressurized boiling water. The original ''moka express'' was made out of aluminum and is well known with its octogonal footprint. We prefer for you the stainless steel version from Ilsa. It has a contemporary design which is functional and timeless as well. Crafted from heavy stainless steel and polished, it is fitted with a stainless steel handle and a convenient flared lip carafe for easy pouring from any angle. It comes with a safety pressure release valve, stainless steel filter basket, an additional reduction filter to brew only half the amount of espresso, a spare part rubber gasket and instructions how to brew the espresso. It works by creating pressure through heat to force broiling water through ground espresso coffee and into an upper serving chamber.
