One cup of coffee and my day is ruined.
Jittery, shallow breathing, and mental confusion, fatigue. Feel awful. All I
can do is just crawling to bed and sleep it off. I can handle soda and tea
caffeine fine though. Odd.

I got a lovely stainless steel mokapot off Etsy recently. They have a
pretty cool and wide-ranged selection of used and vintage mokas. Some very
pricey, some not.
Used to use Bialetti; loved it, still have it around, but trying to cut
aluminum out of my life :) I do like flushing my stainless
Here are my steps:
Roast green beans, cool immediately after roasting (Just deposit them
outside in NNE)
Aerate for 6 hours

I'm pretty persnickety as well and the best stovetop "machine" I've ever
used is the Alessi 9090/6. I got it originally because I had the chance to
buy it when we toured Alessi's in-house museum in Omenga, Italy. It was
factory discounted and I was amused by the fact that the initial
I've been using a moka pot pretty much daily for the past ten years. I got
a stainless steel one from IKEA (horrors) back then and still use that same
one. (Mine was made in Italy, the newer ones offered by the Swedish
retailer are Chinese made.) And turn the other way, but I clean that pot
You can dink around with coffee forever. The best brew in my experience is
vacuum. 200 degree water, just off the boil, fills the bowl, deeply infuses
the grounds, and voila...
You can use very fine grind and brew what is essentially espresso, or
perc-ground and have regular.
Watch ebay for
Just make coffee. You don't need to purchase a certain brand name. You are
trying to buy an experience based on advertising and what random strangers
on the internet recommend according to what they bought. But you probably
have everything you need there already.

I should also mention I'm using a medium roast with nutty and chocolate
notes.

About 20 years ago an Italian co-worker taught me to make coffee with a
moka pot and her instructions were exactly the same as Jeff's, right down
to never ever cleaning the pot!

Jeff and Jim,
Nailed it! Grind is 10 notches finer on our Lido grinder than for our
pour-over. Med-low heat (starting with cold water). Remove from flame half
way up the spout (before any sputtering). Deep, rich, smooth, stove-top
espresso! Like a good whisky (which almost exclusively comes

The biggest issue with these is heat control.
Tips:
1: boil the water separately and pour into the reservoir. You have to be
careful here. I put the base on a towel, loosely screw the top on, and only
pick it up with towel for the final tightening.
2: use low-medium heat with the lid open
Aeropress had a problem with the plastic sometime about 2-3 years ago. The
plastic developed stress cracks. They changed the plastic and sent replacements
free of charge. This is the dilemma with plastic. They thought the bad plastic
was good until they found out it was bad. Now the new plastic
The classic Bialetti moka pot is aluminum. While I have never tasted the
aluminum, the idea behind not cleaning much or at all is to season the
interior with coffee oils to mitigate this effect.
Bialetti and others make stainless moka pots. Never owned one, but I have
been served from one

I don't think a moka pot is a better delivery system than an Aeropress per
se, just depends on what you want outta your cup of coffee.
I'm not a huge fan of the bright and the floral and the nuanced typical of
$20-a-pound 3rd Wave beans, and which an Aeropress handles with aplomb.
I'm back
That is an issue I had never heard of. Very strange. I have had a couple
of Aeropress in nearly constant use since about 2006 and have had zero
issues with either one of them. They are still going strong. If you
wanted metal, I guess you have a stainless version of an Aeropress
fabricated.
Why'd I bail on Aeropress when it makes a great cup of coffee? Easy.
Plastic. It bubbled. Aeropress replaced it, saying they've updated it.
Plastic ain't for me.

I'll second Jeff's instructions. The grind is important. Don't tamp like
you would with an espresso maker. Fill the funnel and smooth the top. I use
a sort of medium low flame, one that doesn't quite reach the edges of the
pot. And I'll disagree with the others and say well made Bialetti coffee
Dial in your grind. Not as fine as espresso, not as coarse as pour over.
Totally depends on your grinder, but be prepared to experiment.
Don't pack the grounds too tight. Fill the... whatever-it's-called to
overflowing, then scrape flat across. I use my finger.
Make sure it's really cranked
Not trying to be the typical nay saying internet guy, but why futz?
Aeropress your cares away! No mutz, no futz.

As a dedicated Italophile, I find myself wishing I could love moka pot
(macchinetta) coffee. I've tried. A lot. But the sad truth is that they
just don't make great coffee compared to other methods. If you want
espresso, you can't substitute a moka pot for a proper macchina. If you
