Not to be a hipster or anything, but whichever you can find on a thrift shop that's in working condition. I'm sure there's more to it but I don't know enough about coffee to talk about that.
I like that the coffee tastes closer to the coffee from an espresso machine than the French press.
Most ways you might drop them won't phase them either.
But if you forget to put water in, you'll melt the rubber gasket and make your kitchen stink! Luckily the gaskets are cheap.
Get the original Bialetti - still cheap, and a piece of Italian 1930s history. Cup sizes are espresso cups, so the 3-cup is a good size for one person, 6-cup for two.

Do you mean like a Moka Pot? I'd agree that it's the best option for cheap, makes strong coffee and has no moving parts.
For real espresso, I've got a 100% metal, manual espresso press and it's great. Does cost a lot up front, though.
I thought moka was the name of a brand but yeah. They don't take much space and don't break unless you drop them.
