- The original moka coffee pot: Moka Express is the original stovetop espresso maker, it provides the experience of the real Italian way of preparing a tasteful coffee, its unique shape and the inimitable gentleman with moustache date back to 1933, when Alfonso Bialetti invented it.
- Made in Italy: it is Made in Italy and its quality is enhanced by the patented safety valve which makes it easy to clean and its ergonomic handle, available in many sizes and suitable for gas, electric and induction (with the Bialetti induction adapter plate)
- How to prepare the coffee: fill the boiler up to the safety valve, fill it up with ground coffee without pressing, close the moka pot and place it on the stovetop, as soon as Moka Express starts to gurgle, turn the fire off and coffee will be ready
- One size for each need: Moka Express sizes are measured in Espresso Cups, coffee can be enjoyed in Espresso Cups or in larger containers
- Cleaning instructions: The Bialetti Moka Express must only be rinsed with clean water after use, with no detergents, the product is not to be washed with a dishwasher as it will be irremediably damaged and the taste of coffee altered

This is my almost daily use pot that cuod be used pretty much anywhere you could use this overpriced contraption
I have a 3 cup Bialetti ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000AN3QI/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1418913949&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 ). I figured if I was going to get one then I might as well get the one that has been around forever. I'm sure the others work just fine but I have really enjoyed this. I make and drink two of brews of this most mornings and wouldn't get anything bigger but that's just me. The "3 cup" option is just right for one person who drinks one or two cups a day.
There is also a moka brikka ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000AN3QN/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1418914211&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 ) which is supposed to add more pressure to the equation and make something similar to an espresso with crema on top. I haven't used it but there are videos showing it off.
I just went into it not expecting a true espresso because that's not what you're going to get. But you are going to get a great tasting cup.
Like the other post said, it is some work to get it just right but I enjoy the work it takes. Makes the outcome more appealing and rewarding.
TL; DR Bialetti is great but others are probably similar. Moka Brikka is another option.
Bialetti on the stove-top.
Every morning I grind my beans and use this thing. I pour the entire contents into a round porcelain cup that I got from Mariage Frere (because I am elitist as f*ck) with a teaspoon of sugar, then fill the rest with organic whole milk.
That is the recipe for heaven, good sirs & madams.
If you're serious, get one of these http://www.amazon.com/Bialetti-Express-Espresso-Maker-06799/dp/B0000AN3QI and maybe one of these: http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/10076320/
You can make some incredibly good drinks with these with very little time investment. You want to do a good job and impress as you should, don't waste your time becoming a barista at the expense of becoming a sound tech.
Also, arrive first and leave late.
Get a stovestop and a ground coffee subscription.
A lot cheaper, better for the environment, and superior coffee.

From your description, as long as he drinks coffee, this stove-top espresso maker would fit the criteria of being:
-vintage design
-hipster but also classic styling
-affording him the ability to feel superior about his coffee
-being made "not in China" (made in Italy)
Admittedly, it's slightly above your $25 limit, currently priced at $29.95 on Amazon.

I hope this helps!
I'm a big fan of lattes, and here is my setup. A Moka Pot:

And a handheld milk frother:

It's cheap and reliable. That moka pot will probably last a lifetime, and the ikea frothers can be replaced easily. You can pack it all away, so no counter space will be used up.
A moka pot doesn't produce true espresso. Since it doesn't have brew under pressure, you won't get a nice rich crema. But real crema requires a fancy grinder, and even the EC155 uses a pressurized portafilter to make fake crema. At any rate, the coffee it makes is perfect for a latte. And it doesn't suck the life out of the flavor like the EC155, it's truly great stuff. If you want an espresso like experience, try making adding just a touch of foamed milk to it.

I like coffee and I lost the other one.
I really need this tiny stove top expresso maker. My kitchen is way too small to have a full-size coffee maker, so this lil beauty will be wonderful.
χρειάζεσαι μηχανή moka όπως αυτή http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bialetti-ES030200-Moka-Express-cup/dp/B0000AN3QI/ref=sr_1_5?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1458505210&sr=1-5&keywords=coffee+machine παίζει να την βρεις και πολύ φθηνότερα σε ικεα
Is there a difference between these two, or is it just 2 different listings for the same item?

I probably missed the boat because cyber Monday is gone, but I use this to make espresso every morning and it's cheap and quick.
