Well?  Was the special edition Bialetti a hit?

Mixed review. I really like the results I get from the Bialetti.  The coffee is easy enough to prepare and I purchased a couple of pre-ground Lavazza blends. Actually, I bought one package

and the company sent me another at no cost. Maybe it was a special introductory offer <shrug> I essentially bought the machine for a quick hit in the afternoon, and the pre-ground is perfect for that. It also adds to the Italian espresso feeling which rounds out the experience.

 

However, I'd be more satisfied had I purchased the next larger size.  This one's a skosh small for my big hands, just a bit too dainty.
