Bialetti Brikka
Best stovetop brewer for those wanting authentic crema at home.
This is the rare stovetop brewer that actually manages to produce a genuine, thick crema rather than just strong black coffee. It demands a bit more attention to heat management than a standard moka pot, but the reward is a texture and body that gets remarkably close to a cafe-quality shot.
