I agree with jackdaniels- a stove top one does great coffee,though I think a stainless steel one is better than aluminium (dont trust it-lol) .Whatever you do don't waste your money on a huge noisy delonghi coffee machine-they're crap!
My Son received one for Christmas and say's it's the best present he's ever had. I think he needs to get out more but I trust his judgement.
