Bialetti's Electric Mukka Express Cappuccino Maker features a revolutionary and patented design that makes creamy, frothy cappuccinos in six minutes from start to finish. The unit is self-contained, so heating and frothing the milk separately is no longer necessary. Simply put the correct amount of water in the bottom, loosely fill the coffee basket with espresso ground coffee, and put milk in the top. Place the maker on the black electric base and six minutes later, you'll have a frothy cappuccino. An alarm sounds to let you know when brewing is done, and you don't have to worry about overheating since the pot shuts off automatically. Made in Italy.
