Then we lived in Greece for a year and Italy for three more and we learned of the Bialetti. This is a European stovetop espresso maker certain models of which leak from it's seals due to manufacturing issues. They have leaked for decades. For decades Italians have continued to purchased and used them knowingly, and so it goes. The usage of the phrase "European styling" means something different to us now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1146149594653031032006-04-27T07:53:00.000-07:002006-04-27T07:53:00.000-07:00U-Sage: A hipocritical prophet.U-Sage: A hipocritical prophet.Kel-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982430426722542837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1146149381000788202006-04-27T07:49:00.000-07:002006-04-27T07:49:00.000-07:00I keep forgetting to come by on Wed and meet the n...I keep forgetting to come by on Wed and meet the new guest!!!!CozyMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160453930114541544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11152564.post-1146148603716840792006-04-27T07:36:00.000-07:002006-04-27T07:36:00.000-07:00usage - Pronounced "you sage".
