ah, what a lovely morning thread!
I use a bialetti stovetop, works a treat for me. Been thinking about getting an espresso machine, but discussed this with an italian friend of mine, and according to him no one in italy has a espresso machine at home. This is for the simple reason that a espresso machine needs to be used alot to make good coffee and that will probably not happen at home, so instead you go to the nearest café where you, in italy, can get a good cup. Now this isn´t the case here in london though, it´s far too hard to find a good cup here.
But you can get them here:
Market Coffee house by spitalfields, fantastic
That big coffee place at Borough Market
The french place on broadway market
There´s a french / italian place on Sheperds Market that does decent coffee too
Also, there´s a coffee grinder on Delancey St in camden, I haven´t been in yet but it looks fantastic. An old man and a grinder, hopefully he´s grumpy too
