So, this question coming from a guy currently using a moka pot, is this a worthwhile machine, or is the no free lunch axiom in play here?

Here's the illy site: http://www.illyusa.com/webapp/wcs/st...anding_0=PLAF9

Just goes to show you, ya beat the bushes with a coffee question around here and you scare up a covey of Lizard Lickers. Haven't seen Dan-O multiple post like this in awhile -- must be he is opining strongly on this one. I'd take the advice to the bank......

OK boys, I get it, I get it!

I'll truck on down the road and look for something else.

But I'm still not real clear: Should I order the cups?
