The true espresso makers use high pressure (15 lb or more), this Bialetti creates low pressure. If you google it you will find it is really uses the "Moka" brewing method. These Moka posts are as noted extremely popular in Europe.
I have one of these and also an Aero Press. The Bialetti is slightly richer, more complex, and a bit less bitter. It is not as quick or quite as easy to clean as the Aero. I love it.
Note that "6-cups" is really tiny 6.5 ounces total...so perhaps 2 cups in standard USA usage if you water it down a bit before drinking.

I see that they recommend heating the water 1st in an electric kettle...I will try that, a lot faster than using cold water.
2) fill the bottom chamber with water only about half way to the pressure release valve
3) use a finer coffee grind and use trial and error to see how much coffee grinds to use. you don't need to fill the whole filter
4) splash a few drops of water on the grinds as you add them. this forces a bit more pressure to build
5) start on high heat. as soon as any liquid makes it up to the top chamber, switch to low heat
6) the instant you start to hear that strong fizzling/bubbling sound, take it off the heat and pour it out to a cup to prevent that over-heating burnt/bitter taste

Just watch out because they got hot quick. Have done this in the past and you'll need potholders to put it back together.
This. If you are going to buy the moka pot please bear in mind that it will take you a while to figure out the right combination of heat, grind size, and ratio of espresso to water/milk (if you drink Americano or lattes). A couple of my friends got too frustrated with the process, and ditched it altogether. It takes time to learn but its so rewarding afterwards.
