There are some busy mornings when saving an extra couple minutes and getting caffeinated are both real life-savers and on those occasions, its hard to argue against the coffee pod. But when time allows, wouldnt it be nice to slow down and start the day by brewing a really good cup of joe the old-school way? We certainly think so! Which is why were excited to share our Gemini Espresso Maker with anyone looking to revamp their A.M. routine. A mattina staple in Italy since the late 60s, this masterfully-designed espresso maker not only looks adorable sitting out on the kitchen counter, but can also whip up two little cups of espresso within minutes, no barista skills needed. Really, it couldnt be easier to use simply add water and a filter basket full of finely-ground espresso beans to the bottom chamber; firmly attach the top half; heat the whole thing up on a gas or electric burner; place a pair of mini mugs beneath its dual spout and voila! Within no time, youll have two fresh, caf-worthy espressos. Its far more rewarding (and fare more delicious) than any of the instant options out there and, to be honest, doesnt take that much longer to make! So whether youre in search of a gift the coffee snob will approve of, resolving to create a new morning ritual in 2025 or just want an extra special cup of coffee to sip while the kids dig into their presents on the big day, our Gemini Espresso Maker is just what youre looking for. aluminum use with gas or electric ranges cups not includedmade in italyDimensions5"W x 3.5"D x 6.5"H.
