BEAN BASICS S3 E4: Bialetti Mini Express

The Bialetti Mini Express is an adorable entry into the wide open field of coffee gadgets. Not quite espresso (you need 9 bars of pressure for that), it produces a strong, smooth little demi-tasse of coffee goodness that you get to watch unfold in real time. BIGGBY COFFEE Co-CEO Bob Fish shows you how to get the most out of this very theatrical little moka pot. Find out if we decide to keep it, gift it or krush it!

I never knew about spraying the beans before grinding. I thought it was just my cheapo Krups burr grinder that produced all the static. That Mini Express is pretty interesting.
