The Mukka Express from Bialetti is a coffee maker for use in the home to prepare cappucino or milky coffee. The traditional model is used on a heat source like a stove top, and the electric model plugs into a socket. The Mukka Express takes just four minutes to make two cups of cappuccino. The standard model has a distinctive speckled design which makes it easy to distinguish the Mukka Express from other coffee makers.
