Reddit mentions of Bialetti 1281 Mini Express Espresso Maker, Silver

It sounds like a MokaPot, more specifically the Bialetti Mini Express

I’d recommend getting a 3/4 cup MokaPot as they make a better sized cup then a 1/2 cup (imo those are way too small, I only used my 1 cup once)

Looks like one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000PEQBJK/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1492358189&sr=8-13&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=1+cup+moka+pot

It would be a poor idea. Mainly because you'd burn through a lot of coffee to get that single drink. Moka pots are designed to be filled with coffee grounds. You cant fill the basket 1/6 full for a single espresso. Much better to to get a big Moka for lots of cups and a tiny one for your single drinks. Better still get one of these for fun and attention http://www.amazon.com/Bialetti-Express-1-Cup-Stovetop-Percolator/dp/B000PEQBJK

I'm in the exact same position now!

• For the moment i've ordered a Bialetti 1281 Mini Express 1 Cup Espresso Maker Aluminium, I've been told by someone here that it makes an esprsso but with more water, or something like that.
  
  
• or you could try the prismo, while not out yet it basically makes Aeropress espressos.
  
  That's what I've done, Moka seems as close as ill get for a while to homemade espressos

Traditionally you'd get two (or even three) pots of different sizes because it's really inefficient and suboptimal to use less water and ground coffee in a big pot.

I'd suggest you get a cute one cup pot like this : https://www.amazon.com/Original-Bialetti-Stovetop-Espresso-Patented/dp/B0001SJH2I/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1555504749&refinements=p_n_feature_browse-bin%3A3015733011&s=kitchen&sr=1-1

(they are so cute!)

Or, even cuter, the Mini Express: https://www.amazon.com/Bialetti-1281-Express-Espresso-Silver/dp/B000PEQBJK/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=bialetti+mini+express&qid=1555504797&s=home-garden&sr=1-3

Its the Bialetti Mini Express - 1 Cup. The GSI one linked below is a knockoff of it.

Bialetti also makes a two-cup version, with two spouts and two demitasse "perches", but occasionally those will have machining issues that will cause the shot to not be split evenly.

Just an [espresso maker](Bialetti 1281 Mini Express 1 Cup Espresso Maker Aluminium https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000PEQBJK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ObQyDbQDD2XA7) I think.
