Check out this site if you are having issues with Windows on your Macbook Pro (Core i7, nVidia 330m GT). Mine was freezing and getting the BSOD (with both XP and 7).

One day I will be able to afford a real espresso machine, but in the meantime I am surprisingly happy with the Mukka Express. It is not unlike its older brother; the Moka – except this one steams milk too. It ticks all the boxes for good design in my opinion (simple, quality construction and it doesn’t duplicate something you already have – i.e. the heat source).
FYI: Bialetti has been making the Moka for 70 years (and have sold over 200 million units)!
Don’t buy the sensor, just download the app – I love it when software makes a physical product obsolete.
