Hey Solus
I picked up the Bialetti coffee maker a few years back on your recommendation and it does indeed make a fine cup of coffee/espresso. The only thing that makes me hesitant, and I have stopped using it some time ago, is the aluminum/Alzheimer's connection. I just sort of shelved it and basically forgot about it........misplaced concern perhaps? Probably should be more concerned about the daily dose through the skin I get every time I apply deodorant!!!

So whats up with you carrying this thing anyways? A guy who counts ounces and likes to single portage! The thing weighs a bit even if it is aluminum.......you must really like your coffee :)
