 Product: Cuisinox Liberta Espresso Coffeemaker
About the Cuisinox Stainless Steel Liberta Expresso Maker
Anyone who knows the Mad Dogs, knows we love our coffee! I am
more of a coffee nut, ready and willing to have coffee at
anytime of the day and for any small reason.
It was before we began our lives on Mad Dog Voyager that I had
this addiction to coffee. Shakespeare said, "A Rose by any other
name is still a Rose", but obviously, he had not been exposed to
the joys of good coffee! Coffee is not always coffee!
Good coffee on Mad Dog Voyager has a few important ingredients:
1. A Mad Dog hooked on coffee
2. Our Cuisinox stainless Steel Liberta Espresso Maker (also known as a "Moka" pot)
3. Good quality coffee beans
4. A coffee grinder (or suitably sized hammer as a substitute)
Many restaurants and fast food/donut shops sell
something they call coffee. It looks like coffee (it is
a dark, non transparent liquid), smells like coffee
(some of it is really old & burnet smelling coffee, but
you can still recognize the coffee) and they all use
water to make the coffee (however some places would be
better off serving the plain water, leaving the coffee
in the bag and saving us a lot of heartache!)
Coffee on Mad Dog Voyager starts off as fresh, cold,
filtered water, whole ungrounded beans, and our Cuisinox
Stainless Steel Liberta Espresso Pot. Ahhh, the Liberta
Espresso pot. This style of Espresso maker (also known
as a "Moka" pot) originated in Italy, - a place where
people know and understand coffee.
The bottom portion of this "coffee miracle" is filled
with fresh, cold water. The coffee basket is filled with
a precise amount of coffee (freshly ground from beans
for exactly 18 seconds) and is topped with the upper
chamber. The water in the lower pot is heated and as it
boils, it is forced up through the filter and the
coffee. This life-saving elixir is coaxed out of the
fresh ground coffee and in 8 minutes, we have witnessed
another miracle.
The Cuisinox Liberta stove top espresso maker is solidly
built from 18/10 stainless steel and along with
navigational charts and a GPS, form the basis of the
important "tools for survival" aboard Mad Dog Voyager.
But don't get me wrong, I am in no way vain about nor
addicted to coffee... well actually I am. Which brings
an end to this review, as it's time to grab our Moka pot
and make a fresh espresso........
