So my wife introduced me to civility this Christmas and got me one of these... No more instant espresso mix!! I have no clue about coffee and espresso making..but I'm'a gonna find out!!
Well she has started you out with the best home tool to do the job. We have a few of these and they make a great cup of Espresso. You have to get good coffee some say that it has to be beans but there is good ground espresso available. I am not fond of the Starbucks espresso but that is going to be something you will have to try to find out for yourself.So my wife introduced me to civility this Christmas and got me one of these...

Oh, a moka pot.
Welcome to the dark side
If you were in Kingston or Ottawa I could point you in the right direction for coffee beans....
Talking of Kingston, I am _not_ a fan of Cooke's Italian and French roasts.
If it were my Moka Pot I would ask for a fine grind of their Java or Kingston's Favourite - yes I know they're lighter roasts but they're far smoother and far less charry tasting, with a really aromatic crema.
@scott43. when pouring for two or more, never fill the first cup to the brim- fill it half full then top it off last.
You can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting an Italian... I'll ask some of my buddies to see what their nona and nono use..I see that the OP is from Toronto, I would bet that there is an Italian section of the city. Go to that section and look in the small local market, you will find a few different brands of espresso coffee. Give them a try to see which one you like.
Right now I have some Lavazza Rosso, some mixed blend that is very nice, and some Starbucks Dark Roast. Trying that tomorrow morning.
