its cheap, thats what caught my eye and I figure its the quality of the coffee that matters more so than the machine.

And it uses ground beans does it?

thanks,

I'll be blunt; it's a steam toy and will cause you bother and disappointment.

Spend the 30 on a good moka pot and you'll enjoy better coffee.

might do,

do one cup ones exist and where would I be likely to buy them,
in galway?

The smallest I've seen is 2 or 3 cups, but these are not full mug sized beverages, think of them as shot sizes. You can make two 'shots' and add hot
water to make an americano style drink.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moka_Express is what you're looking for.
Check the stickies at the top of the forum for suppliers or someone local
to Galway may be able to provide local supplier info.
