I've never been a coffee drinker, but this week in Miami has changed that, tried Cuban coffee and now I am hooked

This is #1 on my want list right now:

and it happens to be right in your own back yard!
Hand made and individually tested in the Netherlands, the Moccamaster coffeemaker brews a perfect cup of coffee in only six minutes. A copper heating element ensures water stays at the perfect temperature from the brew cycle’s beginning to its end.

* Perfectly synchronizing brew time, grind and temperature, this fast, consistent machine quietly produces one of the best cups of coffee in just 5 to 6 minutes.
* Special copper heating element keeps water temperature at 195°–205°F throughout brewing for optimum flavor and less bitterness.
* An innovative 9-hole spray arm disperses the water over the entire grind for a remarkably even soak prior to extraction.
* Copper lining along the spray arm keeps the water temperature consistent throughout the wetting stage.
* To ensure a precise coffee/water contact time, a cone-shaped brew basket funnels the grind to the perfect bed depth.

Oh yea, Cuban Coffee. Liquid fuel for human consumption.

I think somewhere around 98% of other household coffeemakers only get the water to maybe 180. I couldn't swing the coin on the above Technivorm when we bought our machine before the fire so we went with a Capresso machine that would get to 195 during the brew and verified it with a thermometer. Our old Cuisanart only got to 165. Does make a difference in the final product.

If you're trying to make Cuban style coffee you'll need one of these

or one of these if you want to get all traditional...

It's been said a thousand times, but make sure you get the grinder right first.

Miami can get you hooked on cafe con leches in a hurry.
I'll bet most of the machines say "Rancillio" on them if you're near little Havana.
