Directly from my cupboard in the kitchen: being Italian, I could not be without a set of coffee pots!!! Each caffettiera has its own history ... Starting out from the left side:
* the one my husband and I bought when we moved in together
* the small one (one cup) my husband used to make me coffe when we just met (and romance was beginning)
* the Bialetti Mukka that my parents gave us as a present a couple of anniversaries ago (this is quite a special one, it makes cappuccino because you put both coffe and milk inside)
* the one my husband bought when he went to live my himself before knowing me
* finally a set of three (one cup, three cups, six cups) that we got as a present when we married
You could almost say that you can tell an Italian family's story by looking at the caffettiere!!!
By the way: right now for our breakfast coffe we use a normal drip coffemaker (American way), isn't that funny!

Interesting information. We buy a new Mr. Coffee at the supermarket once in every so many years. The one I have makes four cups of coffee.
I have an idea that your coffee is made stronger than what we drink.
How wonderful that you have a personal history with each one of these! I have memories of some of my kitchen things as well.
What an interesting collection!
This is absolutely fantastic... but what a pity you now use none of them :-(
I'm particularly curious about the Bialetti Mukka! Does this use the milk instead of the normal water placed in the lower chamber of the pot?
Great collection, by the way!
I prefer my coffee from my medium sized Bialetti and I would like to purchase the Bialetti Mukka. We here in the states do not know what 'real' coffee is. The coffee here is weak and watery, not good.
