As the host of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, it's safe to say that Jerry Seinfeld has specific brew preferences. Luckily, he has revealed his coffee maker of choice, and it's an editor favorite.

The Bialetti moka pot is his preferred accessory (included in our roundup of best moka pots), as he revealed in a video for GQ about 10 things he can't live without.

'When I'm home or in my office and I'm making coffee, I use this pot,' he states in the clip. 'It's flawless, every home in Italy has one.'

Made by a heritage brand, this moka pot is durable and simple in both its design and use. It's no wonder that our kitchen editor, Lydia Hayman, declared it the best overall moka pot.

'Given its reputation and performance, you might expect it to come with a hefty price tag, yet, it remains one of the most affordable options on the market,' she writes in her review. 'Outstanding value for such a well-crafted product.'

At just over $40, it is certainly a fantastic price for the high quality, while the color and size variations allow for some customization. However, Lydia notes that this specific model won't work on induction stoves. With that being said, we have rounded up some alternative moka pot options that will work on these stoves (as well as make higher volumes of espresso).
