Wirecutter

This moka pot—which, of the four models we tested, comes closest to Alfonso Bialetti’s original design—has a classic look, is dead simple to use, and brews coffee as rich and flavorful as that of any model we tested.

America's Test Kitchen

This easy-to-use classic design quickly brewed rich, dense coffee. Even better, it was the least expensive model we tested.

Consumer Reports

CR’s take: The top scoring single-serve coffee maker in our ratings also happens to be the smallest. The slim profile allows it to be neatly tucked in between other appliances or it can occupy that random sliver of counter space that every small kitchen seems to have. The Pixie rates Excellent for speed and Very Good for the ability to adjust brew strength. Its height is also adjustable, so you can brew a shot of espresso as easily as a large mug of drip coffee.  Footprint: 12.8 inches deep x 4.3 inches wide x 9.3 inches high

If the thought of going without delicious espresso is as horrifying as a life without adventure, the Bialetti Musa is a must-have. The folks at Bialetti have outdone themselves with the Musa, revamping their classic stove-top espresso maker for a 21st Century crowd. This stainless steel redux of the iconic Bialetti Moka Express brews a delicious cup of espresso in a matter of minutes. It is easy to clean, easy to finesse, and was a crowd favorite among nearly all of our taste testers. It delivers in terms of function but in form as well; this elegant brewer is the most stylish of the ones we tested. Indeed, one of our reviewers loved this brewer so much, it became her go-to coffee maker for daily brewing at home or the campsite. 
The downsides with the Musa are few and far between. The plastic handle that lends to easy maneuverability and pouring makes it an odd shape for travel. Additionally, it is not an ideal candidate for accommodating a big crew, though Bialetti does make a 6-cup and 10-cup option. Despite this, it does make coffee quickly and with minimal fuss &mdash; in a pinch, it could power through several rounds of coffee before leaving camp. Finally, at almost 20-ounces, this brewer is too heavy for backpacking, though it proved to be an ideal companion for car camping and river trips. Bottom-line, the Musa is our favorite brewer for camp espresso.
