Coffee break

The Moka Express coffee maker by Bialetti is the world’s number one coffee maker

The Moka Express coffee maker by Bialetti is the world's number one coffee maker. Some say it makes the best coffee and does so without celebrity endorsement or multimillion-euro advertising campaigns. The six-cup version can be yours for €24.99, reduced from €34.99 at the homeware department of Anthony Ryans (091-539633; shopcookware.ie) in Galway or online. Also reduced is a Henckels fine-edge Pro II seven-piece knife block set. It was ¤149.99 and is now €79.99. A Denby five-piece bakeware set is half price at €30.
