what? a giannina is about 60€.
and I assure you they last a lifetime (my parents still use one of them daily from before I was born, 40 years ago)

May you share where? From a cursory glance, US retailers only sell them for 1.5x the price: ~120 USD

Just randomly found one at 99 here https://us.consiglioskitchenware.com/collections/giannina-es... (buyer beware I don't know the details) seems a fair price for the import costs.
The 60€ price I mentioned was from the Italian Amazon.

Thank you. I should've specified I was looking at larger 6/3 cup variant. Seems like Amazon.it has that for 75€ versus 120 USD, but I agree that it's a fair price given import costs, running a business, and theoretical customer support.

> 200$
idk here even on amazon it's like 60eur new.
anyway, I'd bring a Giannina over a campfire than any aluminium thrift moka. sure bottom will blacken a little externally, but ours lasted so long they all eventually blackened outside anyway.
I'm sure the locking mechanism and aesthetics are much better, and they're a pleasure to use. But something about a $10 thrift store moka pot works well. And no qualms about taking it on a camping trip, to use over a fire.
