I bought this Bialetti stove top espresso maker while holidaying in Hong Kong in late March 2012.
I found this Bialetti Moka Express at Starbucks on Duddell Street and paid HK$420. I know it's definitely not cheap & highly marked up but I still went ahead to buy it because I wouldn't know if I might still be able to find it in Singapore. And it would also mean that I have to search everywhere, high & low, for it.
These days, whenever I travel, I'll buy either a Starbucks mug or something related to coffee as souvenir. Yes, I love coffee but I don't even own a coffee machine. My gadgets are all manually operated, ranging from the coffee grinder to the coffee maker. I think it's a cheaper & pretty authentic way to enjoy my cuppa since I only engage in my coffee cooking activity on weekends.
My next target would be one of those round glass coffee drips which I used to see at Coffee Club.
