Amazon.com Review A compact way to get your daily shot, the DeLonghi Alicia Electric Moka espresso maker satisfies the dueling needs for convenience and caffeine. Italian in origin and engineering, DeLonghi is well respected for its small appliance innovations, and this unit boasts several, from durable construction to safety features. Because it is outfitted with a cool-touch base, the Alicia goes anywhere you can plug it in. The sturdy aluminum boiler is built for frequent use, and the container is transparent to let you track the brewing progress. The boiler automatically shuts off to prevent overheating and, in the case of inopportune phone calls, keeps your coffee warm for up to 30 minutes. The Alicia also automatically switches off when you remove the coffee-maker from the base. Additional helpful features include an indicator light, a cool-touch handle, and a swiveling base. Measuring 5.12 by 8.27 by 10.63 inches, the Alicia churns out 3 to 6 cups of espresso. The 3-cup adaptor is available separately. --Emily Bedard From the Manufacturer Moka is the Italian Way to Make Espresso Authentic espresso is the heritage of the Italian culture and tradition, and the great Italian tradition of coffee making began with moka. Found in most Italian kitchens for more than half a century, moka produces an inherently aromatic espresso. It is more intense in flavor, and more pure in coffee taste. That is why generations of Italians have sworn by stovetop moka espresso makers. In fact, in Italy every family owns at least two mokas. Used on the stovetop, the heat from the burner boils the water and directs it up through the ground coffee and into the receptacle, producing a perfect espresso every time. Why an Electric Moka Espresso Maker? Although the traditional stovetop moka makes great espresso, people have been searching for a safe, convenient and easy-to-use alternative. The new six-cup machine embodies DeLonghi's commitment to its Italian heritage and innovative kitchen design. The Electric Moka Espresso Maker is a modern-day, convenience-minded adaptation of a beloved Italian staple. Electric Moka Espresso Maker Features: - 3- to 6-cup espresso capacity
- Transparent Coffee Container lets you easily monitor the entire brewing process. And the durable container is easy-to-clean.
- Filter Adapter allows you to choose 3 or 6 cups of espresso, so you can select the amount of espresso to make depending on the number of people you're serving.
- Automatic Shut-Off With Keep Warm Function keeps espresso hot for up to 30 minutes. And with automatic safety shut-off, your espresso will never burn or overflow.
- Two-Level Safety System will automatically shut-off the machine when the unit is finished brewing and when the body is lifted from the base.
- Cordless Operation with Detachable Base makes serving convenient and simple. You can bring your espresso right to the table.
- On/Off Switch with Indicator Light Easy-to-use illuminated push-button control lets you know when the unit is in operation.

Great until container cracks in about 1-2 years June 19, 2008 Russ Parsons (San Diego/Los Angeles) This espresso maker makes great espresso however without the foam and even with careful handling and only twisting the metal base rather than the handle the plastic container at the top eventually cracks resulting in hot espresso bubbling out onto countertop. Apparently Delonghi does not sell just the container so I have tried replacing top with a metal 4-6 cup container from a stovetop unit but the gaskets get too hot and melt so I would suggest keeping unit in 1/4 sheet pan or flat bottomed bowl while plugged in and being used to avoid a mess when it fails and planning on replacement every couple years. My first lasted 2 years the second 1 year a friends lasted about a 1 1/2 year.
Love It! May 18, 2008 E. Dieker (Canby, OR USA) We have had the Alicia Electric Moka Espresso Maker for 2 years and we love it! The only problem I have is finding the replacement gaskets. Wish they were easier to find. You have to make sure you grind your beans enough or the resulting coffee will be weak.
EZCOFFEE February 27, 2008 Kimberly Calton I LOVE THIS MAKER. HAD THE ON STOVE VERSION AND MELTED IT. SPEND THE MONEY IF YOU MAKE COFFEE ONLY OCCASSIONALLY.
delonghi emks January 7, 2008 Giovanna Sabater (garfield nj, usa) This product is great. makes great coffee and i recived it on time. i am very happy with the item and the service.
Very easy to use December 26, 2007 Nan (New Jersey) I had purchased this item after my first electric espresso maker died on me. It was very hard to find an electric one under $100 and was surprised to find this one. I have to admit, I was hesitant to order this one for I did not understand the whole see through thing, but after using it for some time now, I'm one happy espresso drinker. The only problem I have had is that I did lose (or more like my mother when she was helping cleaning it) the extra piece to make the half a pot. No biggie...I'm not a half a pot type of gal. I do enjoy the electric part since I can just hit the switch and walk off to do other things around the house. When I come back, my coffee is ready for me and I don't have to worry about buring it or the house. The only other electric maker I found was at Williams Sonoma for $99.
