Comments about VillaWare Aromatico Stovetop Espresso Maker - 10 Cups:

Here's the dilema: good coffee or health concerns about aluminum cookware. Let's face it: the classic aluminum stovetop espresso maker produces a better, tastier brew. However, repeated washing in the dishwasher has caused some form of oxidation on the surface of the aluminum. It's a bit creepy to think of this powdery substance entering my body and perhaps contributing to early Alzheimer's disease. So, this is the best alternative, a handsome, stainless unit. Just keep the heat moderate and let the coffee brew slowly to get the best flavor.
