    ::: COFFEE :::

    Thanks for the tip on overtightening the gasket.&nbsp; I don't have the Bialetti latte model (Mukka model), just the little espresso pot (Moka model).&nbsp; I actually froth the milk separately with one of those stovetop plunger pots.&nbsp; In the past I had an electric espresso machine with the...
