The Freud Stovetop Espresso brewer is a modern version of the old Bialetti Moka Pot. Built from 18/8 stainless steel with wood farmed in the UK, this British design masterpiece produces a dense, intensely flavorful espresso. Just as nice, the wood handle is cool to the touch, unlike traditional plastic handles, making it easy to pour and lovely to look at.
